Baby #2 Birthday Guess
Friday, October 31, 2008
Big Contest!
Now here's the skinny.
Look to your right. Some of you may remember the guessing game we had when Edamame was born. It was fun, so let's do it again. If you win, I'll send you some of my favorite Japanese candy, don't worry it isn't sugar coated seaweed or anything like that.
Here are the rules.
Starting on November 1st until November 30th each person gets to submit 1, count 'em, one, guess for a birthday for Brass Knuckles. All submissions in by midnight your own time. I sincerely hope you aren't up that late though. If, in the highly likely chance, there are days open you may submit a SECOND guess between Dec 1st and Dec 3rd. Once again, this is for second guesses only, if you didn't get a first guess in, well, you loose out. The winner will be announced sometime shortly after the baby arrives. Be nice though people, I have to stay in the hospital for 5 days, no matter what....grr, so it'll take a bit of time to announce and to send off a package. You will get it though. To guess send email or comment anywhere on the blog, and give me a two letter initial you want to be known by. Whoever is time stamped first gets that day. Sorry my dad automatically got his birthday for his guess, them be the rules.
Some Hints and Advice.
Now we all know how worthwhile a due date is, right? Not very. Anyway, my due date is Dec 31st, but the hospital wants to think it is January 2nd. That means I could 'pop' anywhere between December 10th(37 weeks) and January 16th(end of 42 weeks). Induction would probably happen by January 14th or so, if we go that far. I will start trying home remedies like eggplant parmesan or green papaya after Christmas, no castor oil though. To give you an idea, Edamame was only 3 days post due. Though in an historical context, I was 1 day post due, and my sister was 2 weeks late, so it's your call. This kid has also typically been measuring large in ultrasounds. This could mean nothing, or it could mean I'm in for an early but long labor.
update: I put this in the comments, but I'll put it here too. The Full moons are on Dec 13th and January 11th, the New Moon is on Dec 27th. Edamame was born on a full moon.
Best of luck to all of you, and I hope one of the earlier guesses wins!

put me down for Dec 29! And good luck! KM
30th... but for your sake i'll stll hope earlier :) EW
December 31st at midnight (or would that be January 1?)
Let's say the 31st.
Oh and for further info, the full moon is on Dec 13th and the new moon is on Dec 27th. Edamame was born on a full moon I think.
I am going for the 18th, it would be cool to have someone else on the same day as me. How early/ late was Edamame?
I don't want to be the cloud of 'late', but I'm going to your aunt's and grandmothers birthday... the 10th of Jan. Having tried a lot of different 'enducers'... they come when they do. But I'll wish for BN to come before Christmas : >
Posting for my MIL who has no idea how to do this. She said the 21st, same day of the month(just different month) as her sister. KK
Hmmm...I'm sorry but I'm guessing that little Brass Knuckles is going to hang tight until January 3. You hang in there too! Those last few weeks of pregnancy went excrutiatingly slow for me. I just couldn't wait to meet the little person! MB
FIL says the 28th
Jan 1!
KW
:)
I say Jan 2. Big money, no whammies
i have been thinking and thinking and i have such a hard time picking!! i will choose........Dec.25th ha ha!!
man that is so hard to commit to a date!!
I pick Christmas Eve. Dec 24. For your sake I hope not, but that's my guess. :) I see there's already another mb, so I'll be mz (for letters in mayzaboo)
Jan 5 Good luck. Can't wait to hear the details!
Jan 4 - (although we'll hope for earlier) -AP
Hmmm... Jan 3. ;-) Go BRASS KNUCKLES
Jen and Tyler say the 26th and the 6th. Grandpa J says the 27th, and my dad gets the 5th.
Sorry for some of the double guesses, right now the 24th through the 6th are all booked up. Good luck!
so I clearly didn't read the directions...
Um... I'll take Jan 7th... and if we get second ones... I'll take Dec 23. ;-)
no prob....and come Dec 1st if the 23rd is open, it is all yours.
oh and 007 chooses the 20th
007's aunt says the 23rd
Eastern Orthodox Xmas, just cause. Jan 6.
why not? Jan. 11th (for you're sake I hope not!)
December 24th, very late... You will be early. And - Brass Knuckles? Does that mean you know it is going to be a boy? I'm a little behind in my blogging...
