fun! fun! fun! a baby pool

My sister, Faye is having a baby! Everyone is so excited for her and we want to share that fun and excitement with you. Here comes the fun part...

It's a baby pool.

All you have to do is guess the baby's:

  • sex
  • birthdate
  • weight

and post it here in the comments for a chance to win a super duper Canadian prize package*.

Rules and Regulations:

The player with the highest score wins the pool. Each player starts with 1000 points.

Wrong sex: -15 points

Wrong date: -1 point per day

Wrong weight: -0.5 points per ounce

In the event of a tie, the player with the highest score who entered their guess first will be declared the winner.

BONUS QUESTION: Guess the baby's name, just for fun!

No purchase necessary :)

Here are some facts and a photo which may or may not help in making an educated guess. Her due date is January 7, 2007. Here is a recent photo of her, for those of you who can tell something by the way she is carrying the baby. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them here and we'll try to answer them. (would you like her to spin her wedding ring over her belly and tell you what happens?)

*special thanks to Mrs. R. (our mom) for sponsoring this event :)

This is all for fun, so what do you have to lose? C'mon play along with us!

ps. If you're a lurker, now would be a great time to introduce yourself :)

You do look good, Faye!

My guess is:

A girl

8 lbs 10 oz

Good luck, Faye!
