The Great Baby Game-A-Thon: 2010
The instructions are quoted below for those who a) weren't around when the first contest took place or b) for one reason or another, do not readily recall information from so distant a year as 2007.
"Here's how it will work. I will list categories. For each category, make a guess. (You don't have to guess in every category, but any you leave blank won't help you in the overall score.) Add a comment to make a guess and don't forget to include your name. If you don't have a blogger or gmail account, you can send us your guess via email, and we will post it as a comment for you. Thus, no anonymous or secret guesses will be allowed." After the qualifying event, winners for each category, as well as one overall champion, will be listed here on our blog. If you are extra lucky (and I'm extra ambitious), there may be cookies involved.
Categories are as follows:
Length (in inches):
Weight (in lbs/oz):
Head circumference (in cm):
Date of birth:
Time of birth:
Duration of labor:
Unranked Bonus- Name Suggestion (again, for scoring purposes this won't count, but it's always fun to see what other people think we should name our little girl, so no fair suggesting a name just because you know it's on our long list of possibilities):
This incredible contest is only available for a limited time, so act now!
*Added - here's the information on our previous births which some have asked to have as a reference.*

*Added - here's the information on our previous births which some have asked to have as a reference.*
- Baby Sister's theoretical "due date" is July 30. The boys were all delivered at least a week before their "official" date.
- Our other children measured 20"-22" in length with their birth weights ranging from 7 lbs 2 oz to 8 lbs 6 oz.
- Aaron's head circumference (34.5 cm) is the only one readily available, buy I remember it being right in line with his brothers before him.
- Thus far my labors have ranged from 0 hrs to not quite 9 hrs (with pitocin).

Can you refresh our memories with the stats from your previous babies? Or is that considered cheating? And I know I ask you every time I see you, but when is your due date again?
P.S. I just realized I never called you guys back from last weekend. The in-laws are in town so we are occupied until the weekend. So sorry for flaking out and not returning the call!

Catherine, did you really not have any idea what was on our list? If you weren't cheating, you must be clairvoyant (or "Clair" for short - didn't make the short list)
Isaac's answers are adorable! Love it! :)
