here is what we have for award categories that are objective/quantitative and numbers based.
Let's hold off on the subjective awards for now...maybe someone knows how to do it in a google doc ????

1. First twins born (with march original due date)
2. First singleton born (with march due date)
3. Last baby born with March due date
4. Baby born with oldest gestational age/most overdue/longest pregnancy
5. baby born with youngest gestational age/shortest pregnancy
5. Baby born closest to due date (if more than 1 born on due date we will use one born closest to midnight)
6. Heaviest baby
7. Lightest baby
8. longest baby
9. Shortest baby
10. biggest head
11. longest strict bed rest (hospital or at home but STRICT)
12. shortest maternity leave
13. fastest to have PP sex
14. shortest time between having sex and babies birth
15. shortest time between getting out of car at hospital and babies birth
16. baby with longest NICU stay
17. most weight gained (mama)
18. least weight gained (mama)
19. most times sent home from L&D


***Let me know if there are more and I'll update here in the OP

***Anyone good at making badges? I'd like to have a badge for each of the awards with a funny name attached...also names for the mama's/babies awards to go with the badges.

***Let's take suggestions of awards for a few days and then I'll start a thread for each award (unless someone has an easier way to do it

***UPDATE***
I've added a few more categories based on the comments. Some of the suggestions are subjective (ie, most hair, cutest nursery) so I didn't add those in for now.

Honestly I left off quite a few suggestions only b/c I felt like it was getting out of control with everyone suggestion slight variations in order to include their kid. I don't want anyone to get their PP panties in a wad but for example, if we have heaviest boy, heaviest girl, heaviest combined twins, heaviest baby born on a wednesday...it gets a little ridiculous and turns into everyone getting a trophy for having a baby. I'm still open to adding more categories but as Official Hostess of M'14 Awards Show I thought I would add in my .02 :)

I still need someone to volunteer to make badges for each of the winners to display in their siggies b/c I have NO CLUE how to do that. Maybe we could make a badge for all who participated too???

Someone mentioned only 'regs' should be eligible to win...I think we just take it on a case by case basis. If you see someone 'nominate' themselves on one of the threads and they haven't ever posted please just call them out. I'd really hate to get nit-picky and say that you need a certain post count or points b/c honestly then it takes much longer to figure out a winner and I got other shit to do  :D

I will post a new thread for each of the categories and people can just comment if they think they have "won" that category.

I can still add more categories if there is anything I missed, which is highly likely...I'm tired 'yo

Lastly, I'm trying to avoid any categories that include, longest or shortest labor b/c even docs don't agree on when labor starts or anything with too many details.

  • I know there had been talk about baby with the most hair. Can we also do preemie with the most hair? I think we may win that. Oh, and just for the record our NICU stay was 6 weeks. I'm not sure where that puts us.
  • I also think that for NICU stays, there should be a category for longest NICU stay for pre-term (before 37 weeks) and longest NICU stay for term babies.

  • Love this!! Maybe shortest time pushing? I pushed for at most 15 mns!
    I like this one! I only pushed for 2 minutes ;) Or maybe shortest time from water breaking or being broke until baby was born (3 minutes here!)
    Just one push here!  She was ready to come out :)

    Longest time for delayed cord clamping?  It took forever for DS's to stop pulsing and them to cut the darn thing.

    what about most "false labors" or trips to hospital before actually being admitted?

    Did anyone think they were in labor several times before they really were?


    I had about three times as well!

    My kid's head was big (14.5"), but I don't know what a "normal" size is.

    Got out of the car and checked in to the hospital at 3:05 pm at 4 cm. Baby came at 4:32 pm. He was ready to come.

  • You have one for shortest time from getting out of car to birth but how about longest? I was in labor for almost 30 hours before DS was born and I'm sure I remember reading some birth stories that had longer labors than mine!
  • Most pushes per contraction? I did 8!

    And Charlie was born on his due date at 10:17 am

    Holy cow! 8?! That should definitely get an award!!

    Most people in the room during your csection? I've got 15! :)

    Can someone link the "how to add a signature" in here so I can finally make one? I've tried for weeks and can't figure this crap out.

    I would offer to make the badges but as you can see, I'm not capable of even doing a signature.
