Bets on the Baby

Posted on June 20th, 2006 by Deanna

Today Kaitlyn suggested to Mom that everybody place a bet on the gender, weight, hair color, and date of birth of Mom’s baby with the prize being whoever wins skips dishes for one night- and Mom agreed! So here is a list of the bets:

Mom: Girl 8 lbs 2 oz DOB 6/22/06 dark hair
Deanna (me): Boy 7 lbs 9 oz DOB 6/23/06 blonde hair
Kaitlyn: Boy 8 lbs 7 oz DOB 6/21/06 dark hair
Lydia: Boy 8 lbs 5 oz DOB 6/23/06 dark hair
Megan: Girl 7 lbs 8 oz DOB 6/25/06 red hair
Natalie: Boy 7 lbs 8 oz light hair
Becca : Boy 8 lbs 3 oz light hair

Becca and Natalie didn’t know when they thought the baby would be born so they skipped that one.

NEW INFORMATION!
Dad just said that we could have a contest! So leave a comment with your guess about

sex of the baby
weight
date of birth
color of hair
length
weight

and we will give a prize to the person who is closest to the actual figures. See my dad’s post here for details

    Hi Deanna,

    I have enjoyed reading your blog as well as your mom and Kaitlyn’s blogs for a few months, but I guess it is high time to come out of the woodwork. It’s cool to find someone else with the same name; I’m the oldest in my family too, but I only have three younger siblings.

    Here is my guess:

    Girl.
    8 lbs. 5 oz.
    Friday, June 23.
    light “sandy” hair
    21 1/4 inches

    Tell your mom it has to be a boy because my sisters already have the book “So Much More” and I like pocketknives. :)
