The Clock is Ticking

This week our little bundle of joy is full-term. For those of you who don't know what that means, she could be born at any time and not be considered a preemie.
Isn't Jen a cute pregnant lady? She has started going back to aerobics this week to try to work the baby out. The doctor says everything is looking good, and things are starting to progress.

Now that things are getting down to the wire, it's time to predict when our little bundle of joy will arrive. She is due November 10. (Jen has requested that you not be cruel and guess anything later than our anniversary - November 18.) Please make your guess by making a comment to this post, or send us an email if you are having trouble getting the comment thing to work.
To make things easier for you, we've provided a calender.


Here's our guesses:
Jen - November 4, 8:15 am (so she can have breakfast) after 6 hours of labor. She wants the baby to come on election day so there will be at least some good news for the day.
Kyle - October 29, 9:12 pm after 4 hours of labor (just enough time to get to the hospital and find out there's just enough time for an epidural). I was going to guess yesterday so I didn't have to prepare/teach Sunday School today, but then I'd be wrong.
Ethan - November 1, 12:23 am after 5 hours of labor. This way, he can go Trick-or-Treating for the first time and not have to go to bed.

Ethan continues to get better at his ABC's and loves to play with his big foam letters all the time. Because Ethan loves the alphabet so much, we made him a special breakfast.

This week, she weighs approximately 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, like a stalk of swiss chard.

Ryan Guy - Jen will go into labor on November 6th @ 10:00 AM during the second verse of "Locomotion" while doing a jumping jack at her aerobics class. Her labor will last 6.4 hours putting the ETA at 4:24 PM. She will never listen to "Locomotion" the same way again.

Michelle - Jen's water will break in the afternoon of Nov. 9. Baby Girl will be born on the best day of the year, Nov. 10 (aka My Birthday).

Austin - Uh!

Lynne and John--There are 2 possibilities here: Jen will go into labor on November 6th at the SLC airport while the Morreys are picking up Michael after his mission. The entire Morrey family will follow Kyle and Jen to the hospital and crowd around to witness the blessed event, which will happen at 4:24 as Ryan said.

OR, Jen's water will break on November 9th during Michael's homecoming talk in Logan, and the entire Morrey and Taylor family will follow Kyle & Jen to SLC and crowd around to witness the blessed event, which will happen at 4:24 p.m. This baby will have blond curly hair and be VERY cute!

Jen, you look so cute. :)

I'm guessing November 5th at 12:01am after 6 hours and 1 minute of labor. :)

Nov. 7th... just because.

Lacey said...

I say Oct. 29 at 7:24 AM-- just because that's my birthday and the time I was born. It's a good day for a birthday. Jen's water will break at midnight, so 7 hours and 24 minutes of labor.

PS: I love the ETHAN pancakes! What a cute idea!

Jen, you are so cute with your baby belly! :) I love the pancakes. And I'm going to agree with Ethan's prediction...Nov 1st!

Elder Morrey- It will come November 6th, as mom and dad said, but Jen will go into labor at 12:44, so rather than everyone being there to pick me up at the airport, everyone will rush to the hospital and I'll get off the plane, and then when I see that nobody's there, I'll know that the baby is coming.

Lynne just gave us your blog address. (this is danika by the way) so I can see what your up to:) You look beautiful. I am going to guess.... November 2nd, five hours of labor. Good luck! oh and send me your email if you want an invite to our blog danika gunn at msn dot com.

Rob and Christin think Jen will explode on November 2nd. Jens birthday. After just enough time to make it to the hospital for an epidural and baby will come at 7:00p.m. Good luck!!

November 6th-the day Michael comes home

Kate said...

Your water will break during our RS Board Meeting November 5th. I'd say 4 hours of labor, so baby could come the 5th very late or the 6th very early. Either way, its a great way to prep for those late nights! (Notice I didn't say sleepless nights, I think you'll have a good sleeper from the start.)

Can I change my guess to not Nov 6th?
