The Competition is On
Only two weeks to go before Baby H. is due! Rachel just started the guessing competition for birth states on her blog. I love the idea and thought perhaps we could have our own version over here.
This is where you make your bets.
1. Will it be a boy? Or a girl?
2. Will it have lots of hair? Or nothing at all?
3. Will it come early, on it's due date (June 12th), or late?
Anything peoples. The wilder the better (though, I bet you can't guess what they'll name it).
Here's some statistics to help you decide:
* It's a fifty/fifty chance that it could come out a boy or a girl.
* Both Rachel and Matt were born with hair.
* Matt was induced on his due date.
* Rachel was born naturally on her due date.
* An average labour for a first baby usually takes about 13-17 hours.
Just for the record: I'm convinced it's going to be a boy. I think it'll come a day late (June 13th), labour will be 18 hours long (don't hate me Rachel!), it will have soft downy hair, and will come out screaming it's head off.

Okay, I'm getting in first in the betting pool on Cafedeflores.
1. Boy.
2. I'm no expert on babies and hair, so I'll say the generalised term of whatever is considered halfway. Halfway between lots of hair and nothing. I don't know what that is.
3. June 13th. I agree. So badly.
What they'll name it........Wolfgang! No, that's not like Matt at all....
Gustav Mahler Hodge. I can see it now :)
Lyd, Matt was induced but we don't know whether it was coz he was breech or overdue....
Andrew, Can you see me agreeing to Gustav Mahler?? NO WAY HOSE!
Andrew: Gustave Mahler Hodge. Ingenius! LOL
Rach: I should correct that.
*Matt was induced for reasons unknown.
And why not Gustav Mahler Hodge? It does sound so...so..Matthew Raymen (sp?) Hodgy.
I'm pretty sure it'll be human, born on it's birthday, during one of the 24 hours.
I'm going to win...I just know it...
I say it'll be a girl.
I think she'll have some hair, but not too much.
I think she'll come later.
I still like the name Aundi.
I think Cory is going to win.
cory can't win if he's just stating facts....we're only calling winners from people who make GUESSES..... *grin*
Cory: Way to go, man!!! I fully agree with you.
I bet anyone that he/she will be exactly the way God planned him/her to be - the right gender, the right amount of hair, at just the right time, with just the right name.
Rachel: How about Maher Shaler Hashbaz Hodge?
Rachel: Bah, you're just jealous that I'm going to win XD
You two are cope outs! Come on. Real guesses or you're not counted in the competition.
Whoops! Spelling mistake. Maher Shalal Hashbaz
Lyd: How am I supposed to guess what God's gonna do? I might write something and then He'll go, "Ha. Just to stir Stephen, I'll do the exact opposite."
That's exactly my point. Kind of.
Heh. I'm not going to say what I'm thinking as I'm sure it'll just get me in trouble. *roll*
I'm going to adjust my guess, I say the 14th.
I say June 7.
Oh, wait, that's tomorrow.
June 7 or 8.
