Any Guesses?

My due date is quickly approaching and I have had a lot of people making 'requests' on when I should have the baby. I thought it would be fun to see if anyone can guess when this baby will actually come and how much he will weigh!

Full disclosure is needed to make it fair for everyone! I am due June 23, so tomorrow I will be 39 weeks. I had Brody 2 days before my due date, and Seth came 1 week early. Both labors started on their own. Brody was 8 lbs 11 oz and Seth weighed 8 lbs 14 oz. I didn't have gestational diabetes with either of my other pregnancies, but I do with this one (which may cause babies to weigh more). I had an ultrasound 2 weeks ago, and it showed the baby was about 7 lbs (plus or minus a pound!). At my appointment yesterday I was dilated to a 2 and 70% effaced.

I think that's all the details to help you with your guesses! I'm hoping for sooner rather than later (obviously)!

Brody and Seth are so excited to have the baby come live in our house. We got to babysit my nephew last week and could not leave him alone. I have a feeling it is going to be a little difficult to keep them from constantly touching the baby. I may have to lock him in my room so he could have peace and quiet!!
