'When Will This Bassinet Hold It's Princess?' Contest

With every other baby we have had, we have always had a 'baby pool'. Let me explain... Since we have never found out the gender before this time, we would make up 2 poster boards, boy and girl, and then at the baby shower for that pregnancy, everyone would have the chance to buy a square and try and guess: gender, birthdate, and weight, usually for $2.00 a square. The pool was a 50/50 pool, so the winner would take 50% of the pot ,and the other 50% would go to the baby. But, I must say that 2 out of the last 3 pools, the winner said they wanted the baby to keep the cash. That was so sweet! We were able to buy lots of diapers with the winnings!!



So, even though I have had 2 baby showers already, I guess we never thought about doing the pool since we know the gender, but I am missing the fun. So, I thought about it, talked to Tim, and we decided to do our own pool here on the blog! It is a 'When will this bassinet hold it's princess?' contest! WOOHOO! So, you take a guess in the comments section and win a $25 gift card to AMC theatres if you are the one that comes closest to guessing the correct information! Sweet, right?! And, I get the joy of checking out when you think our little girl is going to arrive. If you follow our blog, well, by all means, take a 2nd guess!!

So, here goes... state your guess for:

1. Birthdate
2. Time of birth
3. Weight and length
And, just for fun...will Isabella Grace be a brownie or a whitie ;0)?


Guesses are welcome until Tuesday night, 8pm, PST...unless the baby comes before then. The winner will be announced once Isabella Grace, the princess, is finally adorning her bassinet. DUH. I know that some of my loyal readers are aware of the induction date, but Tim suggested that we remove it from the site to see if you were paying attention. Were you?!

So, faithful readers, lurkers, yep, even family can guess. Guess that means no pregnancy update until after Tuesday night, huh? Have fun!

This is hard...especially not knowing how your previous pregnancies were....I'll quit whining and make a guess.

I'll say June 11. 5:00 pm
Weight-8 lbs 5 oz
Length 20 1/2 in

Williams' bunch said...

I guess I added more than I was supposed to...and I think she'll be a brownie. :-)

Veronica @ Luv My Quiver Full Of Arrows said...

Hey, Jen, thanks to you I decided to add length on for 'good measure', ha ha!!! xoxo

Williams' bunch said...

Hey, sorry to put an unrelated comment on here, but I wanted to comment about your comment to my post, regarding the neighbor. Trust me, it was weird. I didn't even mention the fact he smelled of alcohol-no he didn't ask me anything-he did give the kids each a dollar. I was REALLY wanting Todd to get up in the front yard!!! I don't enjoy having conversations with strange men...especially those that may have been drinking. It's actually his parent's house-I don't know if he lives there or is just in and out. Whatever the deal is-we don't usually have dealings with him. Really our neighborhood isn't so bad-of course you know how things are these days...

Hi Sis!

Thanx for your sweet comment:D Yes...he's my nephew is a whitie lol. He has greenish/gray eyes and his hair keeps getting lighter and lighter. He gets it from my sister's father's (biological) side...they are Cuban and have blue eyes/light brown hair.

Our niece is almost here...YEAH!!! Ahhhh the anticipation....

I LOVE YOU TOO SIS!!!

Tim said...

My lovely, semi-brown (cafe au lait?) daughter will enter this world on Friday evening, at 11:08 p.m. (5 minutes after Zack's birth time), weighing 7lbs 9oz (Zack was 8lb 5 oz.), and 19 1/2" in length (Zack was 19 3/4").

But regardless of whether the above predictions turn out to be accurate, it is a statistical certainty that she will be in a three-way tie with her mother and older sister as the most beautiful girl in the world.

I can't wait. Thank you, Jesus!!
