I got girl born on 5/26 (exactly two months before Clara's birthday) at 9:32 PM weighing at 7 pounds 4 oz. Clara was 6 pounds 2 oz and was 5 days late.
My MIL had a vivid dream that baby was a chubby boy with a birthmark on the thigh.
I have a feeling it's a girl, but I'm pretty sure that's because all of the silly old wives tales and dumb internet prediction things say girl, so I've got it in my head now.
I think I was 9lbs, not sure what DH was but he was a chunker for sure.
Here's the weird part.
MIL is 4'11" and maybe 90lbs. She's had five children. The first three under 6.5 lbs, DH 10.5, then BIL was back to 6.4. WHERE DID THAT ENORMOUS BABY COME FROM!?
Fun! It correctly said girl at 6lb 13oz (sounds good to me!) but says I'll have her April 1st, mandatory c-section will be around March 20th but if I labored naturally I could see the 1st as a possibility since I'm a FTM.

I did the spacefm thing and it could be true: a girl born on 3/9 that weighs 6lbs 12 oz. DS was born 4 weeks early and weighed 6lbs 7oz so 12 days early wouldn't surprise me. It's actually a goal at this point lol.

The mail man.
Hahahahaha!
I tease her about that sometimes. But FIL was a big man, 6'6". Their wedding pictures look weird. They should have put her on a stool.
Spacefem is fun! It thinks I'm having a girl, born 3/26, 7lb 4oz. I'd totally take 5 days early vs the 7 days late DD was!
I put in my due date from DD (due 7/7, born 7/14, 7lb 10oz) and it came up with girl, born 7/12, 7lb 7oz. Not too far off!
I haven't played in the name game yet...I don't even want to think about it. Too overwhelming. I'm not getting too worked up until our A/S in a few weeks to confirm it's a girl. For now, I'm just collecting ideas.
Haha, I put in my 17 mo son's due date into spacefem, and it said he would be born May 21st and be 6 lbs 5 oz. Well... that's an entire month wrong. Lol. The weight was close though!
..........Obviously we needed a spacefem thread lol
Reviving this thread because I've been away a lot this week but love baby names and read through all of this minus the poofs...
We're sticking with the girl name we had last time, Lauren Monica Jayne (MNs after our moms, DS has MNs after our dads). For a boy we're pretty sure we're using Alistair as a FN, but aren't totally committed on MNs yet. Probably going to use Martin and Otto, but not 100% set on Otto yet. Middle names are after family members, one from each side.
Just popping in here to share a cute story. We took Chad to one of the local parks yesterday evening to blow off some steam. After being there a few minutes a mom and her 2.5yo daughter showed up and C and this girl were just enamoured with each other. The little girl's name was our #1 choice. It was so cute hearing their names together it totally solidified my choice.
I'm also a little crunchy and tend to take signs from the universe as they come.

My husband loved Alistair/Altair for a boy in our first round!
