Guessing Games…

As most of you know by now, Ashley and I are expecting our first baby – but we don’t know what it is!! :)

So, to get things a little more exciting, we’re going to give away some stuff to whomever can read a crystal ball or just get plain lucky!!

So now, for the details…

I need guesses for the date and time the baby is born. I’ll give hints – Ashley is now 33 weeks along. I’ve included photos for reference and evaluation. :)

We’re going to play this like “The Price is Right” – the closest person to guess without going “over” takes home a gift card. It is possible to win in more than one category, but each person gets just one guess per category.

I have a $15 iTunes gift card for the date and time the baby is born – I’ve got another one for you if you guess the gender correctly!

I also have a $15 iTunes gift card for the baby’s weight, and a $15 iTunes gift card for the baby’s length.

And since not everyone can read a crystal ball (I know I can’t) – here’s to just plain luck:

I’ll put everyone’s name (that submits a guess) into a hat for a free portrait session, complete with a $100 print credit!

To submit your guess, simply use the “comment” section below this post. All guesses must be submitted by 11:59 PM CST on 1/31/2011. (Your “guess” will not show up until February 1, after all entries are submitted – no worries, though – your guess is safe with us!) The gift cards will be awarded shortly after the baby is born!!

Happy Guessing!!

Boy. Thursday, March 3. 7:21 am. 7 lbs 13 oz. 21 inches long.

I’m so glad you’re waiting to find out! That’s the way to go! My fiance and I already argue about this topic….I say we won’t find out until the baby is born!!! If you were supposed to know, you’d carry a boy on the left and a girl on the right (or some other way that would let you know!) It’s the only true surprise in life!

Leslie - January 20, 2011 - 7:00 pm

I think she’ll have the baby boy on March 3rd. He’ll be 6 lbs and 8 oz. and 19 inches long. Hope I’m right! Love ya Ashley!!!!!
