Baby, It’s You….

Contest time at casa enero uno!


As many of you know, my sister’s having a baby! So let’s have a little contest, shall we? Leave the SEX (yes, my sister doesn’t know), date and time (on the quarter hour please – completely stolen from La of JenLa– I can’t do math either) in the comments.* One entry per person. I will close this contest on her due date, or whenever Jolie goes into labor – whichever comes first. Winner(s) will be announced after the baby is born (duh)! Prizes to be announced later, but suffice it to say there will be yarn and there will be PhotoArtCards.

Things you should know about my sister and her birthing habits:
— Her due date is APRIL 2.
— At her last doctor’s appointment (last Wednesday) she was 1 CENTIMETER dilated and had been for at least a week.
— This is her THIRD child. The other two were both born EXACTLY FIVE DAYS AFTER their due dates. She has a boy and a girl already.
— Both of her other labors were relatively quick (I say that but remember, I didn’t feel even a milisecond of pain). One baby was born at 4PM the other baby was born at about 1AM.

Think that covers it. Tell all your friends! There’s a contest in blogland!

ETA: As of this morning, Friday, April 1, my sister is 2 centimeters dilated and 70% effaced. She has an appointment on Wednesday – she has never made it to the next appointment after her due date. Also, we discovered that with both of her other babies she has gone into labor on a Wednesday. There’s still time to enter! It’s getting close. (For the record, we’re both thinking Tuesday.)

*The person (or persons) who come closest to the time WITHOUT GOING OVER will win. For instance, assuming date and sex are correct, if you choose 6:45 AM and the baby is born at 6:59 AM, you will win. Thank you for playing.
