Let’s play Guess the Hatcher Hatchling…
I am full term this week (37+ weeks) and exhausted. AND super cranky. Oh, man, SO cranky. I still have a million things to do before the baby is born, but most of them involve organizing and cleaning… so I need a distraction. A fun one. This is where YOU come in!
I think pretty much everyone knows that we haven’t found out the baby’s sex. We thought it would be fun to have it be a surprise (who knows what we’ll decide for subsequent baby-havings) and we also knew it would keep me from buying pink tutus if it’s a girl (or, you know, blue tutus if it’s a boy) and from having the bedroom next to ours end up looking like Strawberry Shortcake horked in there. So, there’s that. There’s also the fact that in spite of my due date being June 12th, the doctor shakes her head every time I have an appointment and just says it’ll be born any time between NOW and the end of June. (How I am surviving with this much suspense when I like knowing everything in advance baffles even me. George, on the other hand, adoooores surprises.)
And this is where the game-playing comes in. Let’s play guess the delivery date and sex! Just a few rules…

The prize: It will probably take a couple weeks to get to you (especially if you don’t live locally). Also, if you don’t live locally, you’ll obviously have to provide us with your address so we can send it to you. We have some ideas on what the prize/gift will be, but it’ll definitely end up being something personalized and tailored to the person who wins (for example, we’re not going to give one of our sisters the same thing we would give a guy friend). No matter what it ends up being, we’ll try to make it something we think the specific person would like and appreciate.
May the person with the creepiest capacity of foreseeing the future win!
Edited to add: OK… there are a ton of guesses being repeated despite half the calendar being totally empty. Remember, guys, your vote does NOT count if someone else has already taken it. Below is a calendar image with all the votes up until 10:30am EST on June 12th. If your choice is taken, PICK ANOTHER! (I know that calendar is small, click to enlarge.)
Edit #2: If your guess has come and gone, you’re allowed to make a new guess. 😀
pues 14 niño 😀
June 14 girl since the niño is taken 😉
June 14. Boy
Just to make my second guess official, June 15th- Boy
Ok, new guess is June 17 girl!
Sorry, David F and Mia, those guesses are taken.
I am feeling like it has already happening for the past 2 days –are you in labor, Yohe? Maybe just contracting on and off?— but as I did not receive a text or e-mail yet and there are no baby photos on Flickr(though I know that’s usually weeks behind)……..I guess today, but I know it’s already taken for both genders. I can’t find a recent pic of you, so I can’t guess gender based on anything except that you were super sick and craving spinach rather than meat, so that makes me think it’s a girl (that and speedo wearers have more girls 😉 )
So I know I can’t qualify for a prize, but that’s fine – the real prize will be meeting this little Hatchling someday soon.
Miss you guys!
Good luck!
June 13 girl
ps love you guys and Atoosa toooo
