Contest is CLOSED, but you're welcome to leave more guesses anyway!It has been brought to my attention that I have utterly failed to "out" myself here on this blog.
My apologies. I will rectify this at once, and introduce a poll (with prizes!) to atone for my failure.
The announcement:[Our Last Name] Baby 3.0 is on the way. Due date is . . . well, soon. Looks like a boy.
My penance:I will be making three batches of salt caramels in the near future.
One batch for the winner of each of the following polls:
Poll #1:Predicted time and date of Son 3.0's arrival. (Official due date is December 18th.)
Poll #2:Predicted weight of Son 3.0. (His older brothers' weights were 8lbs. 10oz. and 9lbs. 10oz.)
Poll #3:Predicted name of Son 3.0. (Older brothers' names: Isaac Wesley [My Maiden Name] and John Theophilus.)
To participate in any or all of the above polls, simply leave a guess here on the blog. Closest guess wins the prize!
Ties will be decided by random number generator. Judgment on "closest guess" for the third poll is at the discretion of contest organizer. Life-threatening allergies cannot be accommodated, although every effort will be made to keep caramels free of ingredients that don't belong in caramels. Caramels contain dairy, salt, and sugar, and are not suitable for those on dairy-free, salt-free, or sugar-free diets. Contest organizers cannot be held responsible for intense craving caused by salt caramels. Contest organizers reserve the right to make decisions that may affect the outcome of the above polls, including, but not limited to, consenting to medical interventions that delay or accelerate birth and deciding on names. Contest organizers make no warrant regarding the swift delivery or attracting packaging of prizes, particularly if Son 3.0 decides to be a pain in the tush, like his older brothers.

Wow, that IS soon! Congrats and what a wonderful holiday gift for everyone!! Wishing you an easy time and a Merry Christmas :)
Oh my! It's coming so fast. I hope your stack of papers is finished or almost finished. If not, pass some off to Stephen and Isaac. I'm sure they won't mind
My predictions: December 15 at 4:02 a.m., 9 pounds, 4 ounces (because that's what I weighed
), and Charles Philip
December 14th....10lbs 3oz...Joseph Calvin
Forgot to include time....2:17am
December 16; 8 lbs, 15oz; David Nathan. Congratulations!
Dec. 23; 9 lb 5 oz Thaddeus Phillip
The day after finals (you have to let us know when that is), 10AM. 9lbs 14oz., Aubrey Benoit. Benoit means blessing, and Aubrey is fair ruler of little people. He will be a blessing and leader of the small in status or stature. It has a great sound to it, doesn't it.
Thanks, Tiff, for the good wishes!
Mom, final paper is due Dec 12, final grades due Dec 20th.
@scsours - OK, the 20th at 10PM. What do you think of Aubrey Benoit? Of course Aubrey Charles after both his grandmamas would be just a nice :)
I'm going to go with Nicodemus. December 23. 10 lbs even.
Dec 19th, noon, Kenneth Richard / Ruth Aubrey, 10lbs 10oz.
