Laying Bets

Okay, we are now close enough to B-day, or P-day, or whatever, to really lay down some odds.  When we first told our families about Peanut back in March, the first thing Richard's sister Laura did was to jump up and get some paper to record the family predictions.  I am not sure what the prize is for the winner, but rest assured the cut-throat Williams competition lives on.

Margaret, Richard's mom, sent us those predictions the other day as a reminder, and I thought I would open up the field a little bit...make this more interesting.  

So, if you want in, here is your chance.

Due date according to medical science: Sept 21 

(to be fair, the due date in March at aforementioned prediction time was said to be Sept 25 - do with that information what you will.  All entries will be judged by actual reality.)

Entry requirements:

• You must be of legal age, or at least know how to leave a comment on a blog.  Only blog comments will be registered as official entries.  No separate email messages accepted.

• You may enter only once.  (I mean really, it's not a drawing people.)

• Winner(s) will receive some sort of prize that no one has yet determined.  This will not be anything gross.

•  Final entries must be received by Sept 8.

You must provide the following information:  

(We'll see how savvy I am after I have a newborn as to whether each field will be judged separately or whether some system for figuring out the closest person all the way around suddenly occurs to me.)

1. Name (YOURS, not one you are picking for the Peanut.  That is NOT the prize...)
2. Baby's Gender
3. Birth Weight
4. Birth Date

A later post will provide you with information on your competition, and, of course, an even later one with the winner(s).

All the best.
