Okay gang, the results are in, and I'm proud to announce the arrival of my baby girl, born 05 March at 8:44 in the PM. She weighed in at a whopping 8lb 11oz and was 20 inches long. That makes the winner McBryde who guessed Girl, 07 March 7lb 14oz. In addition to his win, there were definitely some honorable mentions. Nirab was the closest to the weight, guessing 8lb 7oz. BMac7754 was the only person to actually guess the correct birthday. Too bad you guessed boy or you'd have had it! Mojo, arguably guessed even closer on the birthday, however, guessing 06 March but specifying a time of 0735. So had she been born after 7:35 in the pm he could have been come in under 12 hours off compared to BMac7754 who may have been thinking of an am birth. Phil, Ken, and Kris all hit the nail on the head with non-guess related nuggets of wisdom. I will surely be getting premature greys, I did wear out the bump button, and Kris had the closest guess regarding her length. He was also the only person to guess in this category since it wasn't part of the contest so good job! That said, he was actually close guessing 21 inches. Finally, my favorite guess goes to GrouchoM who guessed I'd be having a 56lb 4oz baby?!?!? Call Guinness!

I can't see that this thread has 3 pages, other than from another pages link, but I WIN!!!!! Sweet!

Devin, your life will never be the same brother. In a year, you'll never know how your life went along without a little girl before! It's a great ride, sit back and enjoy it, as she'll be 6, like mine is, soooooooooooooo fast. I'm not looking forward to the teen years, and dating, and driving, and marriage, but it's all part of it, and I'll take it with stride. I am definitely looking forward to growing old with kids around and grandkids to play with though!

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. There was a hick-up with the thread for a while where posts wouldn't show. It looks like it's either self corrected or an administrator fixed it. Emerson, I'm not sure what or when I'll send your package. It may be a week or two but I promise I'll get it out. Thanks again everyone for playing and all the congratulatory comments.

Use that spare time for sleep right now brother! It's not like I'm going to run out of cigars anytime soon. Just remember, don't freak out too bad the first time they actually sleep through the night! She's not dead, just asleep! LOL My wife and I both freaked out. I think we were just so suprized to get a full night of sleep.

Enjoy all the small stuff, she won't be little bery long!
