not a lot of hair, but not bald, either
chubby, chubby cheeks and a double chin
We're all doing really well (if a little tired), and are so happy to finally have our baby sister here in our arms.

I do believe Melanie is the winner and I will be in contact with you, Melanie, to work out the details of your hat. :)

Heh, heh, I was the furthest off on absolutely everything. Heh. Nobody guessed anything above or below the 8 lb range, which I find terribly amusing (especially my wishful guess, HAH!) Anyway, thanks for not guessing 10 lbs, even though that's what she came out being. It really was so nice of you all, and I appreciated not getting the "YOU look like you're going to POP!" comments from any of you. You guys are truly the best family EVER!

I've never had problems uploading photos to blogger, but there is some kind of error. I'll try one more time, but you guys may have to wait for photos. Sorry!

post your guesses here

I thought I'd open up my blog to a contest for a little fun these last dragging weeks. So, whoever gets the closest stats to actual birth, wins a free hand-knitted hat made by moi (though I'm not guaranteeing it will be THIS winter that it will actually be knit for you, heh, heh.)

So here we go, you've got 6 categories to guess:

1. Day of Birth (for those of you who don't know, the official "due" date is Nov. 15--and I'm only telling you that for this contest. If I see you on Nov. 15, or Nov. 22, I DON'T want to talk about it.) ;)
2. Time of Birth
3. Boy or Girl (Even I don't know this one, but hey, you've got a 50/50 chance!)
4. Weight
5. Length
6. Miscellaneous (anything you want to add? Hair? Baldness? Furry ears?)

Have fun and good luck! (I'll add my guesses after everyone so you're not swayed by my insider opinion. Hey, I want to win a handknit hat, too!)
