I am getting closer and closer every day to welcoming our newest child into the world. Of course I have no idea whatsoever as to when he (or she) will arrive, but if I did, what fun would that be??? I would love to hear your guesses, too, so here’s how the contest will work:
1. Leave a comment here with your guess about the gender of the baby. (hint: make sure you read this, and this, before making your guess!) If you are correct you will receive 1 entry.
2. Tell me when you think Baby will be born – You can be as specific as you would like. My due date is August 15th, but this is my sixth child. For each correct time (date, hour, minute) you will receive 1 entry.
3. Guess his/her weight – Again, be as specific as you dare. The closest guess will receive 2 entries.
4. We already have a girls’ name picked out, but for a boy we are thinking either Raymond Noah or Raymond Joel (the idea is to call him by his middle name, since Daddy’s name is Raymond). So, for a bonus point, let me know if you like the name Noah or Joel better, and why! For each opinion you will receive a bonus entry.
5. Just for fun: Tell your friends about this contest! I would love to hear everyone’s guesses… The more the merrier! If you mention this contest on your blog and sign the Mr. Linky below, I will give you 2 extra bonus entries! (I will be checking, so make sure you don’t forget to post a link to this contest!!)
Make sure you leave me your name and email address in your comment. You can enter only once, but you will have several opportunities to win! And, to all my non-blogging friends – Please enter!! I want to hear your guesses, too! I will draw the lucky winner after Baby comes and I have tallied the entries.
Now, for the prize… I have just started making bead bracelets again, and I am loving it! I have come up with many different designs and use only quality beads and charms. I thought it would be fun to make one lucky person a customized bracelet (like the ones below), and throw in a gift card to Starbucks, too!

Boy, Aug.7 at 4:43pm.
7 lbs, 12 oz. and 20 inches
Noah
K, I think you’re having a boy! ;0)
I think he will be born on August 11th at 9:27p.m.
He will weigh 8lbs 7oz.
I like Joel. I know a little Joel and he’s such a smiley and easy-going little 8-month old, so sweet. I also think that Raymond Joel has a really nice ring to it. Lastly, I’m a fan of nicknames… so RJ is always an option for his buddies when he’s older.
All the best!
