The polls are closed in the Third Biennial (!) Loy Baby Pool. The most popular birth date predictions are: July 4 (6), July 7 (6), July 1 (5), July 3 (5) and July 12 (4). Only 2 people picked the actual due date, July 8. Also, although July 1, 3 and 4 were all very popular predictions, nobody picked July 2. Interesting. Median predicted weight and height for Loyabelle: 8 pounds, 1 ounce, 20.25 inches.
After the jump, everyone’s predictions, whether submitted via blog comments, Facebook, Twitter or e-mail. (If you made a prediction, please double-check that it’s on the list, and that I transcribed it correctly into my spreadsheet!)
P.S. Here’s an editable Google Spreadsheet that allows you to tinker with the “actual” date & time, weight, and height, and find out who would win the pools in any scenario.

Any incipient signs, yet ?
Or do you have Becky doing stair/step (or other two-person, more fun) exercise to try to achieve the easily-typed arrival – “7/1/11 12:34 PM” ? (grin)
Heh. No news yet. I will be mathematically eliminated if the baby doesn’t arrive by 3:48 PM. At this point, that would require an awfully quick labor. Probably not something I should root for; I might not even make it to the hospital in time 🙂
