Since we are getting close, the cutoff for submitting entries will be 11:59pm on Sunday, January 15th.

As we all know, our beloved TreeSaw and her hubby Sq-earl are having their first child shortly. The baby girl is due January 29th.

For fun, here's a chance for her monkey friends to show her some monkey love :love:

It's pretty simple. Like a football pool, everyone throws in a dollar. To prevent me getting totally ass-raped by Paypal, I'm adding 25 cents to help me cover the fee (33 cents). When you send your dollar, be sure to choose a date, hour, and minute that the baby will be born.

After the little alien pops out, using the official time given by the hospital (or Sq-earl's clapped out old Timex, whatever is more convenient) I will determine who was closest.

Half the proceeds will go to TreeSaw and Sq-earl as a baby gift, and the other half will go to the winner.

In case of a tie, TreeSaw will still get half, and the winners will split the other half.

Maximum of 10 guesses per person. If you are submitting multiple guesses, please put them all in the same payment, so I can get slightly less raped by Paypal. If you submit more than 2 entries, you only need to pay 50 cents for paypal fees.

I will not be participating.

To enter, Paypal US $1.25 to jstrossm@rochester.rr.com with your guess!

I'll keep a running total here.

TOTAL SO FAR: $40.00

LOL! You guys are SO AWESOME! Can't wait to see what the guesses are. I can give you all a little information to base your decisions on if you'd like.

For example: My expected due date is January 29th and we're having a girl.

the paypal fee is less than that...I think it's closer to 3 cents not .33....D
It's 30 cents plus 2.9%

Thanks for the test hoops... unfortunately they charge 30 cents no matter how small the transaction is :(

Just so that everyone's on the same page....the Dr. says my due date is January 29th and it's a girl. Happy betting LOL and I am sure the winner could have cookies too (although I won't be home for a couple days after she's born) :D

just sittin' here drinkin' scotch
She's 37 weeks now (which is where he was for our first), and from the looks of things, she won't see 38 weeks. She's having a problem....not a serious one, just an annoying one, that I think would make the doc induce in the next few days. My wife is going to see the doc today. I am preparing mentally...

Went to the Dr. on Friday...I am not dilated, but she has dropped and it shouldn't be long now. The Dr. was actually surprised that I was dilated yet because she's so low. I can't wait :D
Good luck!!
