Time for a contest!!

Hello there interpeeps... it is time for a little guess-the-baby's-birthday contest. I am feeling ambitious here and am thinking that I will be able to send the winner a little something fairly soon after the baby comes (let's see how crazy that turns out to be!)

Here's the info:
-The baby is "due" Friday, March 27th.
-At my last ultrasound (at 36 weeks) he was measuring right on age-wise.
-This is my first baby.
-I am not planning on being induced.
-(TMI alert) I have not started dilating yet (well, I'm a one, but that's practically nothing).

Your job is to guess the vital stats of the Cub. Whomever guesses closest on the most items will win (there may be a combination of winners). Include your guesses for his:
-date
-time
-weight
-height

Leave your guesses in the comments!!

PS- You can also leave your vote for the name in the poll to the right. And for extra fun, guess which of those names will end up being the Cub's!

    You know I don't hate you, I am basing this off of the average.. =) And even if they want to induce you after a week, you still have another week till you are "over due" lol.. stick to your guns as long as you and baby are healthy, you are going to have a wonderful birth!
