Okay, I wasn't sure that I wanted to do this, mostly because of Asa's early birth and some superstition on my part. But over Thanksgiving weekend, the pool began, so what the hey... might as well open it to all!
We therefore kick off the Baby Details Contest: Sprout Edition!
To participate, please put the following in the comments section:
What day will Sprout be born?
What time of day: morning (6a-Noon), afternoon (Noon-6p), evening (6p-Midnight), or overnight?
Is Sprout a boy or a girl?
How much will Sprout weigh?
Just to level the playing field, here's what we know: M.'s due date is January 3rd, and at our last appointment, the baby's estimated weight was 4lbs, 14oz.
Happy Guessing!
The guesses so far:

hahaha. I'm with Granna. I just said to James 'they're not gonna like this, but I'm guessing 28' before I clicked on the comments.
ReplyDeleteSo, yeah.
A girl-flavored bundle of joy on the 28th, in the morning that weighs in at 7lb 6oz.
I agree, it has to be the 28th, and morning, and a girl... 7lb 2oz
ReplyDeleteHappy December...
Ps did you post a baby list somewhere???? For those of us who are far too far to know what's needed and desired????? By the way, Asa, did you get your Christmas list done?
much love from sweltering weird SoCal... B

Eileen says 12/27, 11am, boy, 8lbs 5oz
ReplyDeleteDeb also thinks it will be a boy - but after Asa's early debut, this one's gonna make you wait! Until 8pm on 1/14 - he'll weigh in at 7lbs 14oz.
Any ideas re: names? Otto (or Hannah) to continue the palindrome theme? Zachariah (or Zipporah) to run the Biblical gamut? Hints welcome!
Aunt Mimi says December 19th, early am. Baby Girl weighing in at 7-11.
ReplyDeleteWell, Aunt Mimi, we'll see if you can win again! (Mom and John don't arrive until the 23rd, so you'll excuse me if I hope you're wrong this time!)
ReplyDeleteDeb, we do indeed have two names, although I like your ideas! Hadn't even thought about the palindrome thing. We did consider having names "from A to Z", but whether we went with that idea will remain a surprise... ;)
Bea, our super-minimal baby registry is at Babies'R'Us, and definitely tends towards the practical. We kept everything from Asa's infancy, and whatever we loaned out came back with interest. Astounding. And right now, all Asa admits to wanting for Christmas is a baby. Lucky us!

ReplyDeleteUncle James and I came the closest on weight - but weight aside, this pool never got out of the shallow end! Welcome Elias, all early 6 lb. 3 oz. of you. "There's not much meat there, but what there is, is cherce!" (H. Bogart, "Pat and Mike")
