Baby Fantasy League

First of all, let me thank the coolest Graduate Assistant in all the land for the inspiration for this post: Mike Garvey (I hope that link worked, I'm a newbie). I looked back at Mike's blog right around the time Maeve was due for some inspiration and of course, he didn't disappoint.

So, here goes! Alright, everyone, Survey Time. The person who wins will have my child named after them. Psych, that's actually a horrible idea. The person that wins can be named Godmother/Godfather. No wait - those are taken, too, by some very important people. Okay, whomever wins can come over and cook me a meal when I'm all tired and crusty after returning home from the hospital.

Lil Secret Sarkis is due in exactly 46 days, and while most people are predicting it's a boy, I'm not convinced. Wanna make a prediction? Fill in the blanks below and leave a comment on the blog with your answers. Highest point count wins!

Legal Mumbo Jumbo: All submissions due by The Birthday or 10/15/07, whichever is first. I have to again give Mike credit for this entire post including the legal mumbo jumbo because in about a year from now, he's going to get his stellar results from the Bar.

PREDICT:
1. Date of birth? (5 pts)
2. Time of birth? (5 pts)
3. Birth weight? (of the baby, not me. though I've gained about 40lbs in case you're keeping track) (5 pts)
4. Gender? (10 pts)
5. First swear word I utter during labor? (1 pt)
6. First meal I ask for after labor? (1 pt)
7. Baby's name? (25 pts)
8. Will baby have a unibrow? (2 pts)

Best of luck!

8. Yeah, but ten fingers and ten toes are all you're really worried about at that point.

If I win, I have an orange popsicle with your name on it...
