Thanks to everyone who sent in their baby predictions! It was fun to read through your submissions.
For most of the questions I gave one point for each correct answer, and then for time, weight and length, I awarded one point to whoever came closest in each category.
It was a close competition, and we ended up with a tie for first place. Each with an impressive 5 point total, the two people sharing the crown are…
Aunt Kristen and Lisa Fish!
Congratulations!!! Enjoy a vanilla latte as your prize! 🙂
Some notable responses:
- Kristen came within a mere 20 minutes of the correct date and time with her guess of 1:38 a.m. on June 10. Wow! SO crazy!
- Aunt Ginny was correct in her guess that the first name would start with a “B.” I can’t believe there was actually a winner here with so many possibilities! Made it easy for me. Not sure how else I would have done it — count the closest letter in the alphabet?
- I had the correct weight at 7 lbs 8 oz and nearly the right length with a guess of 21 inches. (I swear I never got any inside info from the doctors! Although I suppose I did carry him for 9 months… Either way, I’m not counting my answers in the contest.)
- Respondents were split almost 50/50 on the gender but were nearly unanimous in predicting hair. (There was no mustache, though…Sorry, Dylan! haha)
