The Official Baby Pool - Let The Bets/Wagers Begin!
Alrighty....seeing as how there has been much discussion about when Gidget will make her appearance, how much she's going to weigh and the all important question, whether she'll have hair or not, I thought I would give you all a place to lay your bets/wagers down.

So all you have to do is either leave a comment on the blog in the comment area for this post (yes, I know, it's annoying, you'll have to create a blooger.com ID, but that doesn't mean you'll have to start your own blog, just create the ID) or email me and I'll place your predictions out here in the comments area of this post.
Now, I know we aren't spilling the date that we've been scheduled for our C-Section, but I have given plenty of hints, especially after yesterday's sonogram about when she might plan on making her grand entrance. I certainly hope she waits, but as my mom so succintly put it yesterday; "They "cook" as long as they're supposed to and then they show up. The end."
And to keep this fair, NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE knows when our C-Section has been scheduled for. Not anyone in my family or Gareth's and none of our close friends know either. Not even my sister who is flying out for Gidget's arrival knows. We gave her a range of dates of when she might wanna show up and she's planned in between those dates.
And as far as her name, we're just gonna keep that to ourselves too!
Personally , I have no clue either way as to when she's actually going to show up. I do really want her to wait until our scheduled date, but then her timer might go off and she'll be ready.
It's anyone's guess.
I just hope she doesn't end up with hair that comes out looking like any one of these three....

Ahaaaa! Mystery solved. "the seconds" would be Uncle Tim and Auntie Jill although I hear a rumour that Uncle Tim prefers bald...babies that is.
Now, back to making my hot fudge cake.

Just to add to my previous post....
December 31
7 lbs, 2 oz
BALD
1:32 p.m.
Via email I received from longtime uber-close family friend Cyndi W. whose known known me since I myself was bald as an egg and known my mommily even longer........
"I think Ms. Sweetpea is going to be born January 4, 2006 at 10:15 a.m. She'll weigh 8 lbs. 3 oz. and be bald as an egg! ;-) And she'll be absolutely beautiful, too!"
I just noticed that everyone who has included a time with their predictions has been so nice as to not have made it in the middle of the night. *lol* Unlike my own mommily, none of my babies have ever been born in the middle of the night though anyhow. All have been on a Saturday and all have been born between 6-7AM. But I have a feeling that Gidget won't be anything at all like I'm expecting. So don't base your predictions on my past history. After all, it's been a long 13 years since I've had a baby.
This is pretty fun though, looking at everyone's weight and date predictions.

Hmmm.. what should I predict.
Tomorrow, 3AM.
=)
Oi Jerry! Don't be a cheeky git!
Tomorrow...as if! *lol*

well, I believe that she will come into the world at 2:53am, on January 4th (my mom's birthday). See my above post for the weight and hair type.. :D
ROXIE!!!!!!! My *MOM* reads this thing! Oi! you cheeky perv! *lol* I hope you know you are certifiable. But in all honesty, you're right about the, um....the um...*gulp* swallowing thing. Oh and I didn't mean the pun intended with the *gulp* Oh nevermind, anyway I put it, it's gonna come across as perverted. Anyhow, I was saying, there is proof that well, when you do ah...well, um..."swallow" (my god, my in-laws read this thing too....I'm diggin myself in deep right about now) it does cross the placenta and the prostaglandins present in semen can cause the cervix to soften, hence bringing about early labour. I tried to put that as scientifically as I could, but then I'm not a dorky scientist, don't even play one on TV. BTW smartass, Gareth is in Manhattan for a couple of weeks, we can only get *so* creative. And I wasn't out there reading specifically about *swallowing*, it was posted by another Mommy on my January Mommie's Club board thingy. That's the ONLY reason I know that little tidbit!
And are you insane? 9 POUNDS and 14 OUNCES! I'm giving birth to a nice, petite baby girl, not a Thanksgiving Turkey!!!!!! You really had to deviate from the crowd eh? Yeah well, you always have been unique.
Anyhow Miss Perv, thanks for rubbing the crystal ball (why did I have to go and say that, the mental images will never leave my head) and adding your contribution to the pool. You're a nutter but I love ya! :-)>

since hubster dearest was way off, I humbly submit January 5th, about 11:25am, and around 8 pounds even.
Oh, and definitely with a smidgen of hair.
I'm figurin' for January 5th as well, 7 lbs 8oz, with hair. Somewhere around lunchtime I think.
