And The Blanket Goes To...

I had so much fun with all your guesses in the anybaby poll. Without further ado, let's dole out the points and see if I can keep this short for once.

Birth day and time: June 28 at 12:25 p.m.

Amber from Chantings from the Underbrush takes the 10 points with her guess of June 28 at 1:52 p.m. She guessed her own birthday and birth time. Nice. Aunt D got very close as well, but she's disqualified for being related to a blog sponsor. She was only guessing the day she arrived anyway.

Birth weight: Actual weight was 9 lbs 3 oz.

Andrea of The Sweet Life wins this category with her guess of 8 lbs 12 oz. Ten points. I don't even have to feel bitter about her guessing such a big baby, since our little Babynater (Matt's nickname, not mine) was even a bit larger. Sara J, Amy and IIDLYYCKMA all guessed close to nine pounds for honorable mentions.

How to make a big baby look small - let his very tall Dad hold him.

If our little boy had been a beer? I mean a girl...


We would have named her Hailey Pauline. Hailey inspired by Hale's Ales Brewery in Seattle. Pauline because we wanted a name that started with "P" for the baby's middle name. In the pseudo-Jewish/Yiddish/superstitious crap traditions of my family, you honor a living relative by giving a baby their initial. {You never give a baby the same name as an older relative because the angel of death can get confused. I know. Dark. Morbid. Welcome to my family.} My mom and Dad's first names start with "P" and so did Matt's Grandmother's first name. There you have it. Kind of anticlimactic.

Manic Mommy was the first to guess Hailey for ten points. Melissa Joff, Gayle and Akilah also had the right name.

Let's talk about sex, baby: BOY! Matt is a one trick pony. He makes stocky, ruddy lads.

Aren't they cute though?
Hit 40 from Sane Without Drugs was the first to predict we'd have yet another boy. She takes the ten points.

After all of the guessing, when the points had settled, I'm A Smart One hangs onto her lead and wins the handmade blanket. Congratulations!! We are all googly-eyed with excitement that it's you.
