Talking The Baby Contest! WIN!

[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.

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.

Are you referring to the old Needle on a string bit...I forget now which was for which, but it went either back and forth or circular.

not uh. they walk around with a big roll of string and you pull and cut the amount that you think will go perfectly around her belly. so the person who is closest wins. Personally i would get upset at some of the super long lengths of string people cut. she was not THAT big. lol.
