Baby Girl Guessing Games

As help arrives today (Aug 27), and any day between now and September 10 is good, I have decided to go ahead with the fun baby pool with the key purposes being fun and to amuse me! (So scroll down for new posts, and feel free to change your mind if the date you pick passes and repost!)

So, here are the facts to help you make a guess about our baby girl:

• we are scheduled for a C-section September 10, so you know it will be no later than that, and that is 9 days early
• Miss Pear was born 2 days early, and even though she was a c-section, I did go into labor.
• she was 6 lbs, 15 oz, 19 and a half inches long
  
• at last Friday's appointment baby's weight was estimated at 6lb, 6oz, but those estimates are always high
• on average, most babies gain 2 to 2 and a half pounds in the last month (4 weeks), assuming full term delivery, but our baby will be born at least 9 days early
• babies come about the size of Miss Pear on my side of the family, but blue ribbon pumpkin size on Mr. Pear's side (why yes, that is the scientific term...)
  

So please submit your guesses for the pool including:

1. Will she wait for September 10 or come early? Be sure to include date (and time if you feel so inclined - our first doctor claims that babies only come in the middle of office hours and the middle of the night, and Miss Pear came in the middle of office hours)!
2. How big will she be?
3. How long will she be?
4. Shall we call her Baby Pear or Pear Blossom or something else on the blog? (this is the one I really need help on!)
   
5. Your best advice for a second time mom.
6. Your favorite children's book.

Okay, technically the last two are not pool questions, just my avid curiosity, and quest for new books to read.

I will let you know all the details when we return home from the hospital as our hospital does not have wi-fi, but will date this for September 10 so it stays on the top. I will try to let you know when we head to the hospital though, if possible. (With Miss Pear I went into labor in the middle of the night and if the suit case was not already packed with a detailed "to add" list actually inside it, we would have been in deep trouble.....)
