It's alive! It's ALIVE!

It's hard for me to believe that it has been an entire year since I last posted anything here.  Well, with all of the changes happening around our house, I think it's about time to resurrect the blog!  (And perhaps try to be a bit more regular in posting . . .)

And what better way to celebrate our grand re-opening than with everyone's favorite pastime?

The Great Baby Game-A-Thon: 2012 Edition 

For anyone new to the game, here's how it works. I will list categories. For each category, make a guess. (You don't have to guess in every category, but any you leave blank won't help you in the overall score.) Add a comment to make a guess and don't forget to include your name. If you don't have a blogger or gmail account, you can send your guess by email or Facebook, and we will post it as a comment for you. Thus, no anonymous or secret guesses will be allowed.  Those with the closest guess for each category, as well as an overall winner, will have the honor of being named such on our illustrious blog.  What greater honor could one ask for?

Without further ado the categories are as follows:

Length (in inches):
Weight (in lbs/oz):
Head circumference (in cm):
Date of birth:
Time of birth:
Duration of labor:
Gender:

Unranked Bonus- Name Suggestion

Happy guessing, everybody!


And since I know there will be some who will want to know stats on our other kiddos before making any guesses, here's the rundown of Johnsen babies 1-4.

• Baby Johnsen V is "due" to arrive November 27th . . . or 28th . . . or 29th.  I honestly can't remember.  The rest of the crew made their appearances at least a week before their "official" date.
• Our other children measured 19"-22" in length with their birth weights ranging from 7 lbs 2 oz to 8 lbs 6 oz.
• The common range of head circumference for a newborn is 33-38 cm.
• Thus far my labors have ranged from 0 hrs (with my C-section) to not quite 9 hrs (with pitocin).
