Just in case you didn’t know already, I’m kinda sorta really pregnant. heavy-laden with child. I am growing male bits. Yes. I just said that.
And we are taking turns guessing when this kid arrives (and other fun details)…and you can be a part! I love that you can be in on the celebration of the Little Baby’s arrival!
Even if you could care less about my growing bundle of joy, you probably care about money. If you can believe it, some peeps just don’t give much thought to my uterus & it’s current occupant…the nerve 🙂 But those folks would like to win a Visa gift card, right?! RIGHT?!
So that’s why I’m excited to remind you that What’s In My Belly dot com is hosting a little giveaway to the winner of the Baby Bower guessing game. Click here to go make your guess. The winner of the baby pool gets a $100 gift card (second place gets a $50 gift card and third gets $25). Oh and the one with the lowest points gets a Surprise Gift Bag. I’m hoping it’s a bag of afterbirth. JOKING. That would be pretty gnarly though, right?
Sorry.
Let’s blame the pregnancy on the gross jokes.
ANYHOO….you can also read the little interview we did with the fine folks over there while you brainstorm whether Bambino Numero Dos has blue eyes like Jer or brown like me. Or if we are gonna have another mammoth baby like Will (9lbs 11 ounces!).
Happy weekending!
p.s. We didn’t get anything outta promoting What’s In My Belly….we just really think this is fun and are so glad that they wanted to share some moolah with the best readers in the world. You totally deserve it. And if you win and want to take me out for a post-delivery pedicure, I will not turn you down 🙂
All babies are born with blue eyes. You will have to wait another six months to know for sure what’s their permanent eye color.
So not to seem stalkerish, but I was rewatching your announcement video because its late at night and Im avoiding going to bed on time again, and was struck with a thought- both you and Sherry keep ‘lamenting’ that you aren’t pregnant together this time around, since the timing isn’t right for them. However, your official due date is pretty much exactly the ‘due date’ of their book… which is kind of like a baby… maybe, sort of. So I guess in some ways you were ‘expecting’ together :). Praying everything continues to go well for you in this final stretch, can’t wait to see pictures of the little guy! (and pictures with Will, cuz frankly the big brother/big sister meets the new baby pictures are tied with daddy/baby pictures as my favorites!).
Don’t forget, the pool will lock and stop taking guesses around 11PM EST on Sunday night. Katie, if you’re feeling good and think we should give everyone a little more time to guess, just let me know.
Oh, and do you have our address so you can mail the piece of your placenta for the special gift bag? … Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Kidding, everyone!
Hey Katie,
I will not participate in the pool, being from Europe doesn’t work 🙂
But…I predict your little bundle will arrive on your due date nov.13 being then it will be a new moon 😀
Brown eyes, of course 😉
Been following your blog almost from the beginning, same as the one from YHL.
Wishing you all the strength you need during labor and all the love in the world for your family

I feel your pain. My first baby was 12 lbs. 5 oz. #2 was 11 lbs. 6 oz. Good luck with Numero Dos!
I placed my prediction last week. I can’t want to see new Baby Bower. 🙂
It won’t work……does that mean Katie’s baby pool has drained out? 🙂
Aww thanks for predicting anyway. I need that strength!

True! Although sometimes it is easy to tell if their eyes will change…we figure that if the Little Baby has really dark eyes (like Will or me when we were newbies) then he’s probably gonna have brown eyes eventually…and if they are lighter (like Jeremy’s newborn photos) then they will probably stay blue. I guess we’ll have to wait and see!

We joke that her book is her second baby all the time…it’s funny but more true than most people think since they cooked that sucker for a long time! The gestational period alone should qualify it as a newborn 🙂 And secretly I am hoping that a little swimmer gets past the keeper for her so we can be pregnant for at least one day (even if we don’t know it!)

Maybe we could keep it open till Halloween night? I’m trying to keep this bun in the oven till then so we can take Will trick-or-treating! And if something happens before then, I’ll have Jer shoot you an email telling you to close the pool….does that work?

I predict November 3rd and brown eyes!
It’s not loading! Is it over?
That will work. I’ll set the new deadline to Halloween night at midnight.
That will work fine. I’ll get the pool set to midnight on Halloween night Thanks, Katie.
Ellie, you can make a guess from anywhere in the world. The “zip code” field is not required when you sign up.
Hey Jerri,
The pool is still open and running. Give it another try. If you’re having problems shoot an email to me – [email protected] and try to give some details on what is happening when you try.
Not all babies are born with blue eyes. I have had brown eyes since birth, like most of my brown-eyed friends. So, KB your baby could have some beautiful browns 🙂
Its not working … I’m going to guess that you’ll have a gorgeous hazel eyed baby, big – maybe bigger than his brother … on November 15th.
Good luck – you are all darling and inspirational.
🙂
First of all, huge congrats on your second little dude! Little boys are really somethin’!
And second, I just wanted to say I am cracking up at the line “let’s blame the pregnancy on the gross jokes.” I’m not sure if you worded it that way on purpose, or you meant to say “blame the gross jokes on the pregnancy” but either way it’s funny! And I love reading your blog because of your lack of shame with the gross jokes! Keep ’em coming lol
It seems like you were JUST announcing your pregnancy….how are we already six days from your due date haha?!?!?!
Can’t wait to meet the handsome little feller 🙂
Blue or brown…best of luck either way! Can’t wait to hear about Baby Numero Dos!
November 2, so we can share a birthday;-) and 7lb. 5 oz. with blue eyes just because!
