Baby Sweepstakes

A few days ago we got talking on twitter about due dates. My official due date is the 2nd February, although it was originally the 8th February. I'll be full term on the 12th January. Of course, it's really anyone's guess - Emily will turn up whenever she wants to. (I've tried to get her to give me a sign as to when she plans on arriving, but alas, to no avail...)

So people got guessing over on twitter. And in all my efficiency, I started putting a spreadsheet together. But then it occurred to me that there might be a more fun way of doing this: Open it up to everyone, and offer a prize!

Here's how it's going to work. Leave a comment on this post with:
1. one date guess
2. one weight guess (in pounds and ounces)*
3. your email address

Simples.

You may wish to choose to guess at just date or weight - up to you. Either way, make sure you leave your email address!

* If you'd like a picture for reference, use the latest ones here - and keep in mind I'm not very tall! (5'3")

There will be two winners. One will be the winning date guess and the other the winning weight guess. If the date/weight has been guessed by more than one person, I'll draw the winner using a random number generator. If no one has guessed the date/weight, then there's no win.

Please only submit one date and one weight guess per person!

The prize will be a scratch card (one for date, one for weight). Now, I only have access to UK or Malta scratch cards so prizes are unfortunately limited to persons in these countries. However, anyone else is more than welcome to make a guess - just for the fun of it!

Over to you - get guessing! This should be fun :)

[Thank you for your entries! Sweepstakes are now closed 19.01.11]

    I recon it will come 9th (just to keep us all waiting) she will be 7lb 15 and she will be about 50cm. I also predict she will have brown lovley hair and beautiful blue eyes....:)))(which later will be brown). She will be gorgeous and I will really have to be kept away from her BIG TIME. I also bet I will be among the first ones to have the pleasure of knowing she is arriving as I am so near...:))) I will hear the screams...:)))
    Oh I am so excited....

    Oh my goodness you're on your way!

    I'm also expecting my little mister soon. He's due February 21st, but I have a feeling he might just surprise us and come early.

    Good luck to you!

  22. clare @ the pretty walrus5 January 2011 at 09:41:00 CET

    I think they have, partially lol... personally lbs and ozs mean nothing to me, but that's what they weigh babies in and I don't think I'm going to feel like converting anything when she arrives :P
