6 Days til 36 & Time for Predictions!

Time to make some guesses on the stats for this baby... The winner gets cookies!  And I make GOOD cookies.  :)  I've been dying to make them- it's been so long!  (I'll even mail them within the country.)

First of all, however, I need to clarify:  I may have been a little misleading with my countdown.  I've had several people ask if I am going to be induced at 36 weeks.  Answer: NOPE.  The reason I am counting down til 36 weeks is because after that point, I won't worry if I go into labor.  Since I began contracting at 24 weeks, we have been trying to PREVENT labor.  The medicine I take every 4 hours is to prevent contractions.  SO, when I say I have 6 more days, what I really mean is that in 6 days, I will feel free to get up and do a happy dance and not worry if labor starts.  However, I will still take it easy and keep taking my medicine until 37 weeks.  So really, who knows how many days of pregnancy I have left?  My literal due date is Aug 25.  I just know I have 6 days left of trying really hard NOT to have a baby yet!

That said, here are my previous stats:

Kid #1:
Born 17 days early
6 lb, 15 oz
19.5 inches long
8:05 am

Kid #2:
Born 22 days early
7 lb 12 oz
20 inches long
3:21 am

Kid #3:
Born 25 days early
8 lb 2 oz
19.5 inches long
5:15 am

So let's hear it!  Guess what this baby's birthday will be, his weight, length, and time he'll be born!  Leave it either on the blog comments or on the Facebook link.  I promise cookies to the winner as soon as I am able to make them.  :)

And here is what may possibly be my last pregnant selfie:
Getting so excited!!!

PS- Yesterday, Parker asked me, "Mom, are you handicapped?"  I laughed at that spontaneous question and then said, "Why would you ask me that?"  He said, "Cuz your belly is big and always hurting."  Well, maybe I am, but it's temporary, thank heavens!  That kid cracks me up.
