11-8-2009 - Predictions....

My mood while writing this blog: chipper

Madame Z's prediction:

"The day you deliver, outside will be sunny. Your baby will arrive in the late evening. After a labor lasting approximately 7 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 8 pounds, 14 ounces, and will be 21 inches long. This child will have medium gray eyes and barely there brown hair."

~~It was actually pretty accurate. I had a baby girl. My active labor lasted about 7 and a half hours. She came at 11:36 pm... so in the late evening as predicted. She weighed 8 lbs 11 oz so the prediction was only 3 oz off. She was 21 and 3/4 inches long so it was close there. She has gray blues... and a fair bit of brown hair. So all in all it was pretty accurate.

justmommies.com prediction:

"I know you were hoping we weren't going to say this, but don't expect this baby to come early. Your baby is nice and comfy tucked away in your womb and has no interest in joining the rest of the world. We predict your baby will be born after its due date. Your baby will most likely be born in the morning. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 8.3 pounds and that your labor will be about 5 hours long."

~~This one was a little more off. Baby came in the late evening not early morning. Although my labor started in the early morning. She was late.... 5 days after her due date. She weighed 8 lbs 11 oz so its close to 8.3 lbs. My labor was 7.5 hours long so it was off by 2.5 hours.
