The Baby Contest! WIN!

[Morrissey]

[Show spoiler]Hi everyone,

As some of you know already, the wife and I are expecting our first baby on October 5th and we are very excited.

So to celebrate this glorious occasion, I have decided to hold a little contest. I figure that people on this site have helped me so much that I thought I would give back a little and have some fun at the same time.

THE PRIZE
The winner will receive a new
61 x 91 cm Jaws poster

[Show spoiler]

and a classic 60 x 80 cm King Kong poster

[Show spoiler].

I purchased these posters a few months ago with the intention of hanging them up in my HT, but, it didn't work out that way. They have been unrolled only once so they are in great condition.

HOW THE CONTEST WORKS
Round One:
Guess the gender of the baby:
The winners of this answer will qualify for round two.

Round Two:
Guess the date the baby will be born (keep in mind that Oct 5th is the original due date):
The winners of this answer will qualify for round three.

Round Three:
Guess the weight of the baby (in pounds/ounces):
The winner of this answer will win the Grand Prize.

Make sure you send me all three answers at once when you PM me.

HOW TO PLAY
Please copy and paste the info and format below and PM me your answers:
Round One: Gender of Baby:
Round Two: Date Baby will be Born:
Round Three: Weight of Baby (must be in Pounds/Ounces):

- In case of a tie there will be a draw to determine the winner.
- Only one guess per person please.
- I will pay for all shipping etc...you won't have to pay a cent!

Have fun and good luck!

This contest is officially closed. Thank you so much everyone for participating and the well wishes.
Congrats Crxvtec!!!!!!

Ahhhh...good questions indeed.
I have one sister and my wife has one sister.
Every person who has had a child on my side of the family has had both a girl and boy.

[LeAnn]

hmm interesting...

I will have to ponder this because statistically male children are conceived more often because the ***** is lighter and therefore moves faster.... hmmm...

I'm going to go with a boy for the gender and will have to ponder size because the only person I know who gave birth recently was my sister and they were giant children. made me think of a chicken laying a goose egg... hah. jk. not quite that bad.

[Fors*]

LOL...great idea Chris!!! So, is your wife carrying high or low?

Have you picked out names if it is a boy or girl yet?

This should be fun.

Congratulations, man. My wife and I just had our first baby 3 weeks ago. Many will tell you how difficult it is, but you know what? I've learned an entire lifetime worth of patience in these first three weeks. He's really the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me and my wife.

[Show spoiler]

I ran a contest as well, but used bebepool.com, which may make it a little easier for you, as all of the calculations are done automatically. Just a thought!

Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations Ferris! That is one cute baby my friend! I wish you and your wife the best. Patience is one thing I'm not very good at, but I will learn.

Did you do the same type of contest? I don't think it will be too hard to manage, as long as all 110,000 members don't PM me....

Thank you very much! My wife isn't exactly patient either, but our little boy has already begun to change that! As for patience in dealing with the stupidity of others? Well, that's not changed a bit for either of us.

Yep. Same type of contest, though I didn't think about offering it to the blu community (MY BAD EVERYONE!).

Good luck! I'll be sending my guess to you shortly!

Congrats man. My first nephew is being born in October, I can't wait.
