Wife's due in a few weeks. Time to place your bets on what it is.

In My Humble Opinion
1

Our 6th child is due July 20th. Most have been early. All have been quick. The shortest delivery being 65 minuites.
The last two were born at home, this one will be too. (unless we’re on the I-10 freeway)

The births have been:
boy
girl
boy
girl
boy
???

Baby one was 3 weeks early. 7 lbs 14 oz
Two was two weeks early. 8lbs 4oz
Three was a day early 8lbs 6oz
Four was a day late 9lb 1oz
Five was two weeks early. 8lb 8 oz

So, guess the following:

Day of birth
gender
weight
and anything else you want to guess.

I’ll provide updates often and post withing a few hours of the birth.

It’s going to be a baby woman!

Date of birth: July 14
weight 7lb. 4oz.
23 inches long

I just noticed the size of child #4. It’s a good thing she wasn’t more than a day late! Do you call her Tex? :slight_smile:

Best of luck to all of you!

About 160. Very nornal. btw our midwife does all the prenatal and we don’t see a doctor.
We can hear the heartbeat with the stethoscope we have. Very cool.

And she will be the most beautiful baby ever born in the state of California :slight_smile:

BTW congratulations :slight_smile: You’re a blessed man!

“Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them …” – Psalm 127:3-5

PS: Do you have any names picked out?

Gender: Female, no reason to break the chain.

Date of Birth: 4th ‘o’ July, a bit early, but a patriotic baby.

Weight: 7 pounds, ten ounces.

Length: 20 inches even.

Roadwalker are y’all going for an even dozen? If so, you’ll be half-way there already. When the newest Roadwalkerette gets here, be sure to let us know who won!

DOB: July 10th
Weight: 8lb, 6oz.
Gender: Boy

I echo the previous post, got any names picked out? If I could have had children, only one of each, I would have done like my paternal grandmother an given them two middle names, the better to squeeze in the ones I wanted. A boy would be Thomas for several reasons(the disciple, More, et al.), Desmond(for the South African archbishop), John(for a 1968 Olympics Tanzanian marathon runner, last in the race)

For a girl I would go Biblical. Judith(from the Apocrypha), Esther(from the book, and also my beloved grandmother), Ruth(from the book, also an aunt.)

Keep us informed! Tell your wife you are supposed to wait on her hand and foot! After all, she’s doing the hard part!

All our kids have biblical names. the first four from the Old Testament.
David Harrison (we call him Harrison)
Naomi Caroline Naomi passed away in December of last year after a 3 1/2 year battle with cancer.
Benjamin Fraizer (I call him BoomBoom. He was so strong as a newborn he could hold his head up.)
Sarah Marie (named in an ambulance rather than be called Jane Doe)
James Michael (Jamie)

We do not have a name picked out. We’re consiodering several. We think we ought to stay New Testament, but we’re not bound. We will stay biblical, however.
We never have been fixed on a name until after we’ve had the baby and checked it out and tried out names.

but you all can still feel free to suggest…

Boys: Adam, Aaron, Caleb, Daniel, Elijah, Emmanuel, Ethan, Gabriel, Gideon, Jared, Joachim, Malachi, Matthew, Micah, Nathanael, Paul, Peter, Rueben, Seth, and Thaddeus.

Girls: Abigail, Bethany, Candace, Damaris, Deborah, Delilah, Eden, Eve, Hannah, Leah, Phoebe, Rachel, Rebecca, Ruth, and Tamar.

A mix of Old and New Testament. My personal favorites are Ruth and Nathanael.

Hmm … NT names …

Girls
Lydia - “beauty”
Susanna - “lily”
Gabrielle - “the Lord is my strength”
