Kelly, of Kelly Enters the 21st Century fame, has started a Preggo Pool for us. Now’s the time to be making your guesses on when Lucy is going to get here - you could be walking away with some cold hard cash. 45% of the pot goes to the winner, 45% goes to Kevin and I and 10% goes to the website that makes it all possible.

Place Your Bet

The pool will close Sunday, November 2.

Scoring:

• The player with the highest score wins the pool. Each player starts the pool with 1,000 points.
• Wrong Sex: -15 points.
• Wrong Date: -1 point per day.
• Wrong Weight: -0.5 point per ounce.
• In the event of a tie, the player with the highest score who entered their guess first will be declared the winner of the pool.

Things I have been asked so far:

Q: Have you started dilating yet or are you effaced?
A: No…and ew.

Q: Have you had any Braxton Hicks contractions?
A: No.

Q: When you were born, were you late or early?
A: I was 5 days late.

Q: Was Kevin late or early?
A: Kevin was 3 weeks late. Yeah, I’m serious.

Q: Has the baby dropped?
A: Not yet, but I’m told that it’s a little early for that still.

Some extra facts and trivia:

• As of today, I am 33 weeks, 5 days pregnant. For those that don’t know, 40 weeks is considered full term.
• Statistically, Tuesday is the most common day that babies are born.
• 4 our of 5 of my friends had their babies early. The earliest was 4 weeks early.
• My birthing class teacher said that babies are generally born in a 2 weeks before/2 weeks after due date window.

I’ll try to update with more questions I get asked as I get asked them. Keep checking - it could give you an advantage. Thanks, Kelly, for setting this all up!
