Who guessed Baby Schiffman's B-Day & Weight

The Doctor guessed Ammon's birthday (Schiffman says that he doesn't count though) -- 6/6/07

Emily M., Megan D. & Meredith B. were the real winners since they all guessed 6/5/07

Becky & Whitney came the closest to guessing his weight -- 8lbs. 2 oz. (compare to actual below)

Prizes will be given out once school starts!

New Arrival!!!



Well, luckily the human gestation process does not last approximately a year as was suggested by one first year MPHer (and Aaron's wild guess for the birthday). I don't remember what people guessed for the date and weight, but our MPH baby has arrived! I'm sure someone guessed the right day and perhaps even the weight. (It wasn't I! I was hoping for a May delivery!).

Birth Date: June 6, 2007, 10:56 pm

Length: 20 inches

Weight: 8 lbs 4 oz

Mom and baby are both doing fine! The baby is a night owl, so I have been trying to adjust to my new schedule. My husband blames me for staying up late to finish my homework. But I never stayed up as late as this child does! He is a sweetheart and laughs in his sleep. He looks mostly like his father. He had Jaundice the first week after he was born and had to sleep under the Billy lights for a few days. So if he looks like he has a dark tan, that is really the Jaundice. He is doing fine now.

It has been fun to follow peoples' postings though I haven't been on the internet for a couple of weeks. I'm glad that everyone is having an adventurous summer!
