LisaKinVA Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) I'm 36 weeks, 100% effaced and 2-3 cm dialated... so, I'm 99.9% certain the baby will be here earlier than the due date (as is my norm). I officially hit 37 weeks on Jan 1st. So what will the baby's birthday be? On a secondary topic, we have four children. Two with blond hair and blue eyes. Two with brown hair and brown eyes. Abby will officially give our family more girls than boys -- but what will the haircolor and eyes be? For the record, I have brown hair/brown eyes. My husband has brown hair/green eyes Grandparents: Brown/Blue; Brown/Green; Brown/Green and Red/Green I get my brown eyes through some genetic fluke of "dominant recessive" gene thing... I lovingly refer to myself about being the walking recessive gene (because I have things no one else for three generations have seen).

Blessedfamily Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I can't remember if you said it's a girl or boy. It makes a difference to my answer, as I believe females are always late for appointments. *Ducking out* :gnorsi: O.K., you updated since I posted. Since it's a girl I say January 11th.

AnnetteB Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 How exciting! I could never imagine how each babe would look. Ours all start out with blue eyes and after their first birthday change to green, hazel, or an interesting blue hazel. Most start out with a dark bit of hair, but that changes, too. My one redhead is now a blonde turning to brown, lol. The boys all have red beards when they start growing them. Best wishes to you and all your family :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My youngest girl was 8 days early. The only Johnny Come Lately was #1 (and I swear, it was because my mom had be doing housework and walking everywhere!

No way do I think you will make it as far as 1-11-00...I'm going to say 1-3-09. Maybe this little girl will be a blue eyed red head. ;) I love the name Abby.

I think I'd like to subtract a week. I just never went into labor with mine. No dialating, 0% effaced. They had to be pried out.

I've hung around on message boards long enough to hear plenty of "My babies are always early!" and "I'm already 3 cm dilated!" stories proven unexpectedly incorrect, so my guess is January 17. What do we get if we win? IMO, it sounds like you're the one who ends up with the reward :glare: :lol: Oh, and I think brown hair/brown eyes...

Brindee Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I had just never went into labor with mine. No dialating, 0% effaced. They had to be pried out.Same with me! My first was 3 weeks early cuz my water broke and they forced him out. My other two just wouldn't budge! I'm rooting for January 7, and just for fun I guessed blonde hair, brown eyes.

I had just never went into labor with mine. No dialating, 0% effaced. They had to be pried out. One week before birth, I was 3cm and 80% effaced. I posted 'other' on the poll because I am going with red hair/blue eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaKinVA Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 I'm just trying to have a little fun these last few weeks... I've been sick the vast majority of this pregnancy, and it's seemed to get worse as the pregnancy goes forward (2-3x a day most recently). So, having fun with some virtual friends on these little things helps take the edge off a bit. Ya' know? My husband and I think it would be absolutely hillarious to have a red-headed girl (because then we'd have a brunette, a blond and a red-head). Odds are probably against it, but it's funny to think about never-the-less. Thank you all for playing -- it's fun for me (I know I'm the only one getting a real "prize" out of it, so thank you even more!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do we get if we win? IMO, it sounds like you're the one who ends up with the reward :glare: :lol: Oh, and I think brown hair/brown eyes... I'll guess the 14th. I was 2 cm dilated and 100% effaced 3 weeks before my due date with baby number one. I knew I would be late, but the doctors and the nurse were rather shocked that I gave birth 11 days past my due date. I walked around for 4 weeks at 2-3 cms. going with the dominance issue - brown/brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammyla Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I'll take January 1st and red hair/green eyes.:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessedfamily Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I knew I should have stuck with the 11th. :glare: It's already the 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2agang Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Ok I voted Brown/brown because that was what my Abigail was that was born in Aug. We have brown/brown blond/brown Red/brown Red/green and blond/blue No my kids really don't look alike! But to have red hair it has to be a gene on both sides. My husbands moms family is red except my MIL. And my great grandma was red. I'm going with Jan 13th Edited January 6, 2009 by mom2agang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean too Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Brown/green on Jan 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee in NC Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 100% effaced and 2-3cm dialated makes me rethink my original guess, too. I think I'd like to subtract a week. I just never went into labor with mine. No dialating, 0% effaced. They had to be pried out. I've gone weeks at 100% effaced and 2-3 cm. I have also had no effacement and no dialation and had a baby that night. When you've had several children, none of that matters anymore. I'll vote the 16th.
