So there have been a few disgruntled people about the "When Will Meadow Be Born" contest, saying that the contest is unfair since now her birthday has been narrowed down quite a bit. I disagree with these people, since (1) I did start the contest before I ever knew Meadow was breech and would have to have a c-section, (2) we are letting the midwives/obstetricians pick the exact day for us according to their schedule, (3) I could still go into labor before the decided day and have to have an emergency c-section, and (4) I have officially closed the contest to any further entries so no one has any more of any educated guess than any of you did a few weeks ago. There are still a lot of people who could win, and those who can no longer win (i.e. guessed past my due date) just did not think to take into account the slim chance that Meadow would be breech!

Still...after someone "wins" either the frog or squirrel carving, the other carving is still up for grabs. So, my thought is, why not hold a second contest for who gets the second carving? Whatever carving is not picked by the person who guessed closest to Meadow's birth day can be won by someone else in this contest! (And hopefully a few of you will be less gruntled.)

So, if you want to win the "other" carving, go ahead and make a guess for her weight on my blog, lauren.blogcadia.com. (Sorry, guesses on facebook will not be counted, just because I am too lazy and don't want to correlate all the comments!) Oh, and the weight needs to be in pounds and ounces! As much as I love the metric system, we will stick with English units today. :-)
