More Contests!

The triplet names are good! Keep 'em coming! A few more betting pools for you on the remaining unknowns...

Guess the weights! As mentioned in a previous post, the weights were last taken two weeks ago and the babies came in at 4.5, 3, and 4.5 pounds. What will they weigh when they are extracted from the womb on Wednesday?

Guess the date they come home from the hospital! The doctor says that in his experience, no matter how premature babies are when born, they usually leave the NICU around 37 weeks. May 2nd marks 34 weeks and 2 days. They won't know til they monitor the babies after birth how long they'll need to stay.

Will Baby A be identical or fraternal? It may be years before we can definitively answer this question. B and C are defninitely identical, as they share a placenta and even an amnio sac (mo-mo twins, for those in the know). Statistics suggest the third one is fraternal, but there's a small chance she's identical. Do you feel lucky?

When will my hair go significantly gray? I've got a good four or five silver hairs in the middle part of the hair -- it hasn't affected the sideburns or sides yet, which is where it seems to afflict most of my colleagues (interestingly, my sideburns get extremely red and bushy). NB: my chest hair is half & half right now -- it blends in with my pale skin. Be sure to consider this in your calculations. My guess is 9 months.
