What’s the Point of Having a Baby if you Can’t Make A Contest Out of It?

Well, as the ridiculously long title suggests – we figure that although the 2 of us are quite excited for the arrival of Baby Bokma, we should do something to make it exciting for you guys too.

And the best way we know how to do that is to make a little baby pool for you all to participate in!  The prize? A $10 gift card to Starbucks – because really, nothing says “I can’t wait for Christmas”  like a Peppermint Mocha or Gingerbread Latte.  

So how to play:

Leave a comment with the following guesses:

1. Date the baby will be born
2. Time of day
3. Gender
4. Weight and length (in inches)

And now for the insider information:

• My due date is around Dec 14th (that’s what my midwives have charted it as).
• Ben weighed 8lbs 8oz at birth, and Karmyn weighed 7 lbs 10 oz
• We have NO idea what gender we’re having – I keep flip flopping with my “intuition” and the general population seems to be pretty split and I’ve heard both “oh, you’re DEFINITELY having a girl” AND “It’s DEFINITELY a boy”, so take that for what it’s worth.

The rules:

• You get 1 entry.  (By leaving a comment on this post)
• You CAN be family (well….let’s be honest, that’s a large portion of who reads this blog anyway)
• I don’t have to know you personally
• The contest will close on the end of Dec 10th
• The contest becomes “live” once 5 people enter….because really, it’s just kind of lame to win if you have a 25% chance of winning…(but maybe I’ll get a little something for the 4 keeners out there)
• The winner will be the person with the most accurate guesses overall.
• Make sure to put your name in your comment
• I’ll contact the winner once I have a baby in my arms!
• Have fun!
