Who will be the winner?
Abbey and I were looking at old family pictures yesterday and she saw this one of her Dad and had to seize the opportunity.
After washing 14 towels every two days, I had to post a little reminder.
I TOTALLY get extra credit. I don’t know why I deserve it, I just want some.
Love this Sarah! And the note from Abbey about the short shorts! I just had (another) conversation about short shorts with my Madison! : )
I've been going through family photos and found my oldest son with short shorts -I think he'd be embarrassed just to see it now. But that was really the style! The basketball players all wore them.
How would you know how many towels are going down the laundry chute in two days? Are you the only one doing the laundry?
Actually, I know the answer to this towel question: Someone doesn't want to take the time to hang the towel up properly and just "chutes it." Bet it's a boy…
That list is so funny! What's the prize for the winner?
I wish you all the best!
So excited for you all! a new baby is so awesome. can't wait to hear boy or girl!! praying for a quick labor and healthy delivery.
The anticipation of a new baby is like no other! Almost there….I'm guessing a girl 🙂 Prayers for a speedy labor!
Your #19 pounds cracked me up! You know everyone will be checking in every 10 minutes to see if you had the baby. Hope you have someone on standby to post the minute you have…HER: 8#, 9 oz 😉
That one up there (Hannah) is from me, your blog is great but she doesn't read it unless I forward a post. She was just signed in to google.
Wait a second….do you have an anniversary this week? I kind of remember it being the same as mine…or maybe the week before.
6 lbs 20 oz is my fave.
I'm TOTALLY hoping you don't have a 19 lb baby.
I am the same with towels. My kids look at me like "poor woman just needs to get a life and then she wouldn't obsess so much about something so insignificant as towels." but towels can fill up a washing machine fast! I personally loved your sign. Fight the power!
Love your notes.
And Abbey's note to her dad cracked me up- we've told our girls they would be horrified to see what we wore in the 70's. With tall knee socks no less!
Can't wait to hear that your *baby girl* is here:-) 8 pounds 8 ozs. How's that?
19 pounds is the winner!!
Some of your boys look just like their father, that is so cool.
My older sisters wore the most scandalous short shorts and skirts in the seventies, and they turned out just fine 🙂
I'm guessing girl – 8lbs 2 oz
I love your 19 lbs…because that's what it feels like, right? Oh my goodness, you are almost there. I have to throw my guess in – 7 lbs. 4 oz. and I say GIRL. I can't wait.
i am due on wednesday.. 3 other little ones at home , all natural labor and my first one in a birth center -they kick you out after 5 hours!! definitely in that back and forth swing of so excited and what the heck was i thinking?? i am ridiculously excited that i'm having a babe the same time as you though– i regularly call your blog my mothering mentor. 🙂 good luck good luck good luck… you will be amazing. 🙂
19 pounds, haha! And Abbey's comment is so funny. Your boys all look so much like your husband. Hang in there mama, it's the home stretch now…
19#?? Wow! Lovely post!
Love the guesses…I am assuming since Isaac's says 6 lbs 20 oz, 7 lbs 4 oz is his real guess? LOL Love the note Abbey left her father!!
We made it through move in day, and our first weekend apart…it was tough, but we did it!
Can't wait for the baby to arrive. Best wishes to Isaac as he heads off to school!
even with all your wonderfully encouraging and wise posts…i think this is my favorite post you've written.
cracked me up!!
LOVE the note from Abbey! 🙂
SO CLOSE SARAH!! Woot Woot! Let's get this baby here!!
I think it is sweet that Patrick guessed girl. I'm thinking that he guessed girl because he would like a little sister?? I'm sort of hoping for a girl for you too!!
I <3 boys (I have 4 of them) but I really hope Abbey gets a sister!
Just had the same conversation with my 16yr old step son as he went through…. wait for it…. 11 pairs of shorts in 5 days. 11!!! There are 8 in our family and that is a lot of laundry. I feel for you!
Anxiously awaiting the results of your guessing game!! Isn't cool to think about all these people that you've never met are thinking of you and praying for a safe delivery and a healthy baby! Best of luck!!!
I had the exact same conversation with my dad when I was about 14! The 70's were very bad, LOL!
…I truly hope you don't "win" with a 19lb baby! 🙂
Nineteen pounds? LOL. Let's hope not. I did have a 11#, 12oz baby (#3, and the first boy). I sure was scared when I was told #4 was ALSO a boy!
My family and I are praying for you!
For your sake I hope you aren't the winner! 😉 Here's hoping Patrick wins.
yeah sarah!! can't wait!!!!!!!!!:)
You carry so high, I think it's a girl!
I hope it short and easy and soon. I went 10 days late on my last… About this time of year…
The post-it from Abbey made me lol. I wish I would have thought to do that to my dad when I was in high school!
Holy Cow! Your son Andrew looks EXACTLY like your husband when he was young! Neat!
19 pounds made me laugh out loud!
My bet will be girl 8 lb. 3 oz..
You are SO patient! I couldn't wait the entire pregnancy to find out! Especially since I always go 10 days over. YES, you get extra credit for that. 😉
You deserve another girl!
I think girl too, 8 lbs 5 oz is my guess. Tues aug 21!

🙂 Love your guess about the weight, Sarah…
Oh my gosh, your boys look SO much like your husband! Seeing that picture of him as a kid is amazing! And Abby's note is the best!
I am so with you on the towels! So with you. 🙂
Hilarious! You have totally got this! My guess: Girl and 8 lbs on the nose.

Lol, 19#s!
I hope your new little girl doesn't weigh that much, for your sake.
BTW, can Andrew look any more like your husband's younger picture?
I love 6 lb 20oz (!?)! Haha.
Can't wait to see the beautiful baby of yours!
