Baby Pool
OK, I'll be nine months pregnant tomorrow. Anyone care to start making some guesses? There's no prize, just bragging rights.

Re: Baby Pool
Okay, I'm confused. I know this makes me sound like a dumb ass, but....
If you're nine months pregnant, should't you be having a baby right about now? But your ticker says you still have 29 more days to go.
Educate me!
don't feel bad Kasa, it is confusing. That is why when you ask a pregnant woman how far along she is, she will answer in weeks. Other moms and current pregnant ladies will totally get and non-moms are like why is she talking weeks.
pregnancy is 40 weeks long, however what is even more confusing the first two weeks are from the your last cycle. So when you are four weeks pregnant, you really only conceived two weeks ago.
I think this explains it better
And because of the way doctors calculate pregnancy ? 40 weeks starting on the first day of your last period ? you may not actually be pregnant until week 3, when the sperm meets the egg. But by the end of week 4, your fertilized egg has become an organized ball of cells and the embryo has implanted into the wall of your uterus.
Month One (Weeks 1-4)
Month Two (Weeks 5-8)
Month Three (Weeks 9-13)
Month Four (Weeks 14-17)
Month Five (Weeks 18-22)
Month Six (Weeks 23-27)
Month Seven (Weeks 28-31)
Month Eight (Weeks 32-35)
Month Nine (Weeks 36-40)
Fun!
And Kasa, pg typically lasts 40 weeks, which is between 9 and 10 months (due to some months having 4 weeks and some having 5). Usually the due date is 9 months from a postive test, but at that point, you are usually around 4-5 weeks pg already.
Ok, Kerri,
When I got to the boy/girl portion I was stumped. I don't have a strong feeling either way, but leaning more towards boy.
Yep! Boy name is decided. Girl name is narrowed down to two.
I'm stumped too! I kind of feel bad that I don't have Mother's Intuition or strong feelings either way, but I'm on the fence!
gvsu and Suze explained it way better than I could!
yep pretty much.
Con list?
Yep.
This is totally rare, but I'm one of those weirdos who could let this pregnancy continue on to the 40 week mark easily. Most women are begging are for it to be over at this point. Not me. I'm hoping baby stays put for a few weeks longer! I'm not quite ready! I'm also not uncomfortable and miserable though, which prob makes a difference. The baby has definitely dropped though, so I may not make it as long as I'd like. I'm done with work after next Thursday. So I'll be off until I deliver and then another 16 weeks of leave after that. Boo-ya. I won't be going back to work until November, close to Thanksgiving if I deliver around my due date. Doesn't that sounds like ages away? It'll probably fly by. The whole pregnancy did.
Tigers was it you that put August 19 for the birthday????????????????????? LOL!!!
That's actually my dad's birthday.
A combination of I can't add and I like Steve Yzerman.
I hope I'm wrong
Are you guys keeping your names secret?
Nick and I have a name we're both sworn to secrety on, and I'm not even pg! We don't want opinions from friends/family, and we don't want anyone we know to steal our name.
Awesome.
I loved being pregnant. Going overdue is definitely not con-list worthy, IMO.
Glad to hear you're ok with going over, KerCo. If Babeski needs to stay put, then he/she needs to stay put

Nice!
