How to enter: click on the comments link at the bottom of this post. Leave a comment with your guesses for:
| Date | 50 points |
| Day of the week | 10 points |
| AM or PM | 15 points |
| Time (12 hr clock) | within 60 min: 25 points, within 30 min: 35 points |
| Weight (in lbs & oz) | within 1 lb: 20 points, within 3 oz: 40 points |
| Height (in in.) | 15 points |
Bonus: for the adventurous, you can put 45 points on the line and guess the gender as male (knowing the ultrasound tech has said otherwise). Guess boy and end up right, you get 45 extra points. Guess boy and Elizabeth comes out, lose 45 points from what you have.
The person with the most points wins! Your guess must vary from everybody else's in at least one category. We're excited, but we're not rich. That and we couldn't think of a good tie-breaker. In the strange event that there is a tie-breaker, we'll come up with something. We will stop taking guesses June 4th at 11:59pm. UPDATE: Due to a couple folks' tardiness, Steph and I have decided to extend ye ol' deadline. But to make it fair to the folks who were timely, late entries will get a fifteen point deduction. I will post everybody's guesses as we go along.
Note: When leaving a comment, make sure to either login to your blogger account, or select the "Other" option to leave your name. Anonymous won't do you any good here.
Have fun and start your guessing!!!

I think you'll have an Elizabeth, but do you have a backup boy name, just in case?
Whoa whoa whoa, I need some bookie info here -- what were your respective stats at birth?
Jeana, yes we do have a back up boy name should God surprise us.
Jed, Jeana and Knute did just fine without it. Steph was small, I was big. :-)
Seriously, I was born early in the morning, very close to ten pounds, 21/22 inches long, something like that... I don't remember the stats on Steph's birth. She was tiny though.
For those that need the stats here goes:
I was 7lbs. 2oz and 19 1/2 inches at birth.
Allen was 9lbs. 13oz and 22 inches at birth.
Both of us were born past our due dates. Good luck!
June 19, Sunday, 8lb 3 oz, 20 1/2 in 11:07 AM.
Nothing scientific, just hopeful guessing I think Elizabeth will show up, she better, I've already entered her name in the Family Tree. Sure hope your tech knows his/her stuff!!
The date is a no duh!

UH....Girl
OK, here we go:
June 14th, since that's Che Guevara's birthday.
8:12am, since that's 12 hours from now.
Weight is...8lbs 9oz, since no one else said that.
Height is 19 in, which I think was my height.
I'll put it all on the line here, since it's an option. 45 points on boy. Why? 'Cuz I'm Crazy Eli, that's why!
Excellent.

Yes, my guess is that you will indeed have a little girl!
I think that she will be beautiful and that she will not have any hair.
I think that her daddy will cry his eyes out (they always do! :-) )
And I think that Steph is going to have a *fantastic* labor!
Apgar score: 9 (because no one really gets a 10).
