The Great Baby Giveaway!

 
No, I'm not giving away my baby...

But, I'm certainly getting anxious for her arrival! And I wanted to invite you all to join in on my antsy-ness. So, I decided to host a little giveaway in celebration. Here is some information that may help you in your prediction.

I am due February 25, 2010. Also, as of today, I'm not currently in labor. So, if you guess February 17, you probably won't win. If you guess March 25 I'll punch you you'll lose.  The latest my doctor will let me go is March 5.

I'm having a girl. Girls are generally smaller than boys. Also, you should know that many people comment on how small I am. So, a 10 lb weight guess is not only very mean, but will probably be very wrong.

Here's how it works:
  1.  Leave a comment with your prediction of the day of baby girl's arrival as well as the height and weight. Also leave some way for me to contact you after the contest is over.
Whomever is closest to the actual day of arrival will win! If more than one person correctly guesses the date, the height and weight will be used as a tie breaker.

Here's what you'll win:
  1.  Grand Prize: An ARC of "The Dark Divine" by Bree Despain, and signed by her as well. I also have stickers and bookmarks and all sorts of awesome things that will be included.
I may have some other ARC's and prizes that I'll want to give away. It just depends on how many people enter.

GOOD LUCK!

  4. I'm so jealous... My due date's not until the end of March.

    I'm gonna guess.... Feb 25th.

    7 lbs 5 oz
    19.5 inches

    (I was tiny when I was pregnant with Boo, too, but we were tracking her growth with ultrasounds and if she'd gone full-term she'd have been a good 8 lbs!)

  10. A word of warning, my daughter was my 3rd baby and my first girl. She was also the second biggest of my three arriving in at 9 pounds even and 23 inches long. I only gained 20 pounds the WHOLE pregnancy. Not to scare you or anything, but I was hoping for her to be the smallest. Although now she is super tiny for her age.
    My guess, (I really want to read this book by the way)

    Feb. 22
    7 pounds 10 ounces
    19 inches long.


    (that is smaller than any of my babies, but I'd never wish a moose like mine on anyone.)

  11. How about February 24th
    8 pounds 1 ounce
    20 inches.

  12. First of all, congratulations on your imminent little bundle of joy!

    My guess: February 24th. Five pounds eleven ounces, and 18 inches.

  13. I'm guessing 1st March.
    Then possibly... about 5 lb, 15 oz? And roughly 19 inches?

    But I'm not entirely sure on the conversion of "lb", er, pounds.. Or any of that.
    I'm sorry if I insulted or offended..:(

    Have a lot of fun with your baby! Biggest smiles!

  14. Congratulations!

    I'll guess Feb 27, 6 pounds 3 oz and 19 inches.

  15. Let's see, I say you go into labor on your due date but she doesn't arrive until the 27th (that's what happened to me. No big deal, though...the plus is that I was so tired that I was sleeping through contractions without an epidural by the end of it!)
    And let's just say, again, for the sake of comparison to my own experience because I'm small as well, we'll go with 6lbs 4 oz. Good luck and congrats!!

  18. Hmmm. I think baby is coming on the 26th, one day after your due date. You may actually go into the hospital or be in labor on the due date, but she won't come until the 26th has officially arrived. I think she'll weigh about 7.5 to 8 lbs. and she'll be close to 20" long. :) Let me know how close I get!!! And congratulations! You're going to be a WONDERFUL mom. ~ Heart102271@yahoo.com.mx

  19. I love the Dark Divine!
    Good luck with the delivery! My 2 girls were bigger then all 4 of my boys :) So good luck with that!
    I would say your baby will be here March 4th - since they wont let you go over March 5th :) I had 4 of my kids the day before they induced me :)
    I would say in size.... My biggest was 9lb 4 oz - but for you... let's try 8 lbs 10 oz (the size of my first baby boy)
    Good luck!
