My mum just called to tell me she’s booked her flight for October 14th and it got me thinking…That’s about 1 month away. Can I hold onto these little guys for 4 more weeks? Or will they come along before she gets here? We’ve asked them to stay put a little longer (I actually held the phone to my belly and mum made the request), but it suddenly seems like a long way away. They would be 37 weeks at that point, which would be great.
So now I’m thinking maybe we should start a little competition…
Can you guess when the Bobs are going to pop out? Will it be tomorrow, next Tuesday, Halloween? What do you think?
But let’s take it one step further. How much do you think they’ll weigh? Remember that twins usually weigh a little less than a singleton.
Post your answers here the person who guesses the correct date and the person who guesses the correct weight are the big winners! Obviously if no one is right on the money then the closest guess will win. Admittedly you won’t get an actual prize since I’ll be the human milking machine and chained to the house, but hopefully you’ll be satisfied with knowing you’re a winner.
I was thinking I might post my own guess, but then as I started to look at the calendar and think about it, I decided that maybe if I pick a date I will somehow encourage them to come out on that date. So I’m going to stay out of it. The power of the mind and all that...
Bob and Bob say “Good luck”. ;)
PS - their actual due date is November 2nd, but the doctor told me they wouldn't let me go past 38 weeks....

I am such a sucker for contests!! My guess: one little guy will weigh 5.5 lbs and the other will weigh 6. And I vote for October 25th -- I know it's a long shot, but it would be so cool to share a b-day with the boys. xox Andrea (the Ottawa one).
If no one else puts a bet down, I'm naming Andrea the winner for just posting a comment! Come on people, where's your competitive nature hiding itself?!
I also know of at least 4 of you out there who have birthdays in October. You should all be vying for your b-days!

Gawd you're pushy! Don't know WHERE you get it from! OK OK - Bob 1 = 5lbs 2 oz Bob 2 = 5lbs 1 oz. October 19th - Day before Gwamma Beanz.

My money (all of it...!) is on October 4, 2006. Bob 1 (affectionately known as Amber) will be 6 lbs (yep... he'll be big) and Bob 2 (Jon-Jon) will be 5 lbs 2 oz.
I also claim three days on either side... Can I do that?? Amber
Nice try Amber, but no, you can't claim the rest of the month.
Hi Pasc,
My guess is October 19th...baby boy 1 will weigh in at 5 lbs, 5 and baby boy 2 at 5 lbs, 4.
Hope you're resting and feeling good.
Hugs, Lisa
October 20th would be kinda good, because then granny would never forget their birthday!
