The Baby Pool...

The time has come for a baby pool and no this does not involve any sunscreen, beach balls, or plastic wading pools. The time has come for you (Yes, you!) to give us the your best guess of the date and time of Asa's birth. The stakes are high. The person that guesses closest to the actual time and date gets to pick his middle name. Not really. However, you will get a very special prize involving you and Asa. It will be well worth your time to guess. In the event that folks guess the same time and date or if Asa is born in the middle of two guesses, we need a tie breaker. Therefore, you will also need to give us your best guess of Asa's weight as well.


**Sample Guess**

Ida Green Snodgrass thinks
Born: December 5, 2008
Time: 8:00 AM
Weight: 15 Pounds

Rules
1. Everybody gets one guess.
2. As soon as we receive the guess, it will be written down on the official Baby Pool Calendar.
3. Any guesses received after Dev goes into labor will not count.


You will need to post your guesses on this blog posting. The way to post a guess is by clicking on "Comments" at the bottom of this post titled "The Baby Pool..." Assuming you do not have a Blogger ID, under "Choose an identity" select "Name/URL". This will allow you to post if you do not have a blogger id.

To make this fair, I will give you all the relevant information you need to know to make an educated guess. Asa is due Dec. 5. Devanee was born on time and weighed 8lbs and 3oz at birth. I was born eight days early and weighed 7lbs and 9oz. The average baby born weighs 8lbs. Asa currently weighs 5.03lbs.

In closing, I will let you take a peek at how big Asa is getting and how good Dev looks.
