Guessing Giveaway!

  

*NOTE: THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED...I MEAN, HEY, I COULD GO INTO LABOR AT ANY MINUTE (or not) AND THEN YOU'D HAVE A BETTER CHANCE AT GUESSING THAN THOSE WHO FOLLOWED THE RULES...SORRY, I AM PROGRAMMED TO BE MORE OF A RULE PERSON :)



I am 39 weeks today, and for those of you who are mathematically challenged or unaware of the typical length of gestation, that means my due date is one week from today (November 22)! Time to guess when Baby Schmidt will arrive and all those fun details! We've decided to make this a mini-contest with real live (mini) prizes for the winners, so listen up.

We invite you to leave a comment (by tonight at midnight) and guess the following:

1) Date he will arrive
2) Time he will arrive (this will only be used as a tie breaker if more than one person guess the correct date)
3) His weight
4) His length (this will be only be used as a tie breaker if more than one person guess the correct weight)

Here are the mini-prizes:

* For the person who guesses the closest correct arrival date:
  $5 gift card to Target










* For the person who guesses the closest correct weight:
  $5 gift card to Starbucks











*Note: if you are out of the country, you must come back and visit us to receive your prize! If you are out of state, we can mail you your card, but we would prefer a visit :)

Here are some possibly helpful clues to aid you in guessing:

*Tara was born 3 days early
*Dan was born 4 weeks late (yikes!)
*Tara weighed 9 lbs 10 oz (double yikes!)
*Dan weighed 8 lbs.

Happy Guessing!

*Note: You can leave a comment by choosing the drop down option "Anonymous" if you don't have a username/account. Simply leave us your name so we know who you are!

  8. Oooppssss.....mini-prizes not mini-pizzas. So sorry. I was so excited I read too fast and the ADD thing kicked in.

  9. Oh my goodness. You have the worst memory ever. You have told me my whole life I was 2 weeks early (originally due like Feb 7 or something around there). You can guess the name but there is no prize for that :) And because you mentioned the vaca arrival time contest in which you would almost always win and get a prize of a dove bar, while if we won we got a jolly rancher, your prize for this contest will be a jolly rancher instead of a gift card (or mini-pizza).
