A coworker is having her first baby. She's due tomorrow. We're doing a baby pool - guess gender (she's team green), height, weight and due date. I have no clue what to guess!
She's about 5'6", not sure about her husband. A tiny little thing pre-pregnancy. I'm guessing she's having a girl but not sure what to think on height, weight, due date. Any ideas of where to start? What's average?
ETA: She was 2 cm dilated as of Monday and 2 weeks before that only 1 cm, if that helps!

I just looked up that 8lbs is about average for a full term baby. I she's tiny I would guess maybe right around 8 or just under for weight.

@T.H.O.U.: I've been googling averages! Apparently I'm too competitive, LOL!
@MrsTiz: I was guessing 19-20" and low 7 lb. something ounces?

@LindsayInNY: What about 19.5"? 
I think 7lb anything is good, i'd stick more towards ~7.5 just for the sake of being in the middle of where average weights are.
I say all this like I have any clue lol!

@BananaPancakes: I agree re 19.5-20 and low 7s for weight.
I am 5'7" (was 135 pre-pg) and my DH is just shy of 6', and our LO was 6lbs 14oz and 19.5 inches. And she arrived a little early.

Okay, I think I'm going to go with 19 1/2" and 7 lbs. 2 oz. Now to pick a due date... I think she's going to be late. Maybe next Wednesday?

FTR, I am petite 5'1" and had a 8lb 9oz baby. So, if she's due tomorrow, I might aim for 8 lbs.
