I just told my ultra-cheap husband about our little weight guessing contest that we have going on, and how many people have already made a guess today and just out of the blue, he said he would pay to have the winner's cards printed! So you not only get a FREE really cute card design from me, but Russ will pay to have your christmas cards printed! Man, this is becoming quite a great deal... so be sure and make your guess below!
As promised, here are the latest pictures of little Caedmon. These were taken on July 28th. At my appointment two weeks before that, Dr. Pickins said I was measuring just a little smaller than i should be, and he couldn't accurately determine her positioning, so he scheduled us for another ultrasound. I was a little nervous at first because they usually only give two ultrasounds during the course of a normal pregnancy, and we had already had our first two. But after seeing the ultrasound everything was okay, she was head down, and i had plenty of fluid. Then I was just glad that we got to see her one more time before she gets here!
I also took a 36 weeks belly picture when we got home from our ultrasound,
so this is what she looks like outside:
so this is what she looks like outside:
and this is what she looks like inside:
She is getting MUCH bigger, and you can already tell her cheeks are pretty chubby! They estimated that she was already 7 pounds, but everyone says they never really know by looking at the ultrasound... but I am going to assume that is probably pretty close...
I am going to bet that she weighs 9 lbs 1 oz.
I know! Let's all take bets on what we think she will weigh!
Leave a comment with your guess,
and the closest to her actual birth weight
will win a FREE christmas postcard design!
(you'll have to pay to print them {around $40, depending on quantities}...
but i will design them for FREE)
UPDATE: RUSS IS PICKING UP THE PRINTING TAB, SEE THE PARAGRAPH AT THE TOP OF THIS POST!
And not to boast or anything, but i think our christmas cards were pretty stinkin' cute last year...
here is a reminder if you haven't already seen it...

So let the guessing begin! Yay, this is fun.

Hi! This is Jennifer Goode, Russ's cousin. I agree that sonograms can be off. So far off that they said Carolyn was going to be 6 lb 13 oz, and the doctor said I was measuring two weeks smaller, AND he said he'd be really surprised if I was hiding a big baby in me since I was so small. Well, lo and behold, I birthed a 9 lb. 5.2 oz. baby, and we were all surprised! That was even outside of the +/- 1.5 lb error range they give you on the sonogram. So in honor of our little Carolyn, I'm going to guess 9 lb 5 oz for Caedmon, too, but I certainly don't wish it on you!! :) Best wishes!
since ema was 8lbs 11oz and tobey was 6lbs 9oz, i'm gonna guess their average...7lbs 5oz
