Single Digits and a Jump in the Pool

From Wednesday, August 1st, 2007, so about 489 days ago, [Popularity: 9%]

We can count with just our fingers now. Late or early, natural or induced, the baby will be here in less than ten weeks. That means it’s time for a baby pool! In the infamous words of Homer Simpson: Woo Hoo!

The link is HERE: http://blog.8r4d.com/baby-pool/ and you’ll need to participate via email FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY!

Pass it around, share it. Etc. I’ll make a note when I open it up for everyone else, but I’m gonna give immediate family a chance to put their bids in first, so likely it will be on this coming Monday, after the long weekend.

(By the way, Jess says we’re supposed to blog every day in August. Like a lemming, I follow…)

Wow. I didn’t think I’d committed to anything, let alone started a trend. My power over the Realm of Blog is awesome indeed.

You should double up on the chart for the pool. One chart in pink and one in blue. It allows a similar date pick for either boy or girl and makes for double the fun. Just how we run our pools at the office. For oen we have going right now for Shari Smith who you know is we know her C-Section date so we went with pink chart with Baby Girl Smith and blue chart for Baby Boy Smith. On each chart are boxes for weight guesses at 1 ounce increments from 6 to 10 pounds. A loonie at toss. Not sure what happens if baby X is heavier or lighter

I hope for Karin’s sake that no one picks her to have an 11 lb 14 oz baby!

Apparently even Karin thought that. What do I know? I’ve updated again, and this time it’s for good. By the WAY everyone who is emailing me: read the directions carefully…
