A Contest


Marisa had the idea of a contest to guess the birth date. Given that the projected due date is Velentine's Day, what day do you think the baby will be born? My powers of prognostication are notable only in how poorly I am able to predict anything. Some people can predict future events with eerie accuracy using complex statistical models, while the clairvoyant among us, employ some weird sixth sense to arrive at their own best guess. I, on the other hand, am a firm believer in the blindfolded dart throwing technique. Feel free to conduct your own research and see this recent post for an idea of what to expect.

The winner will receive an as yet undecided but awesome prize. For the record I predict Friday, February 18th.

i'm guessing the 12th! it's very common to be late...but i'm hoping for a few days early :)

I agree Marisa, early by a day or two!! OK Forest - it is time to leave your cozy home and get the party started!!

Feb. 19th. Since I was 5 days late, I am guessing the same for you, based purely on arbitrary reasons. I of course hope your little guy decides to come when he feels good and ready. On time would be nice :)
