You all already know that Baby #2 is on team pink - which was confirmed (again) by my 35-week ultrasound - so no need for guessing in that department. But two big questions remain: when is she coming, and what will her name be?
that's me at 35 weeks - and the basketball under that dress will be born on...???
From now through July 31st, I'll be taking your predictions in either/both categories to be entered to win a fabulous prize sent to you once I can manage to get to the post office post-birth (not looking anything remotely as pulled-together as this, I'm sure).
Details you might want to know: my "official" due date is August 23rd, though my ultrasounds have indicated that an earlier date of August 18th might be more accurate. Lorelei came 8 days early. We've had a name picked out for quite a while now - one that was somewhat of a compromise for both of us but that we're both really thrilled about (to even things out and help you with your guessing, here's my husband's top five "not in contention" list to match my own top five from that link: Brooke, Mallory, Alice, Claire, Miriam).
Other info: for the "when" pool, the person who guesses closest to the correct date/time (NOT "Price is Right" rules; for example, if the baby is born August 1st at 3:43pm, a person who guessed 5pm on that day could still win) will be declared the winner. For the "name" pool, you need only guess the first name - and only the person(s) who guess it correctly will win (no "closest" prizes here). One entry per category only, please!
If you'd like to post a comment here (or on my Facebook page - scroll down for my post about this!) with your guess(es), feel free. If you want to keep them secret so as not to influence other people's entries, send me an email to larkingshop at gmail. On August 1st, I'll publish a calendar and master list of name guesses so you can see your competition! Good luck!
I guess August 13th! And for the name...Willow?
ReplyDeleteYay betting!
ReplyDeleteOkay I'm going to choose August 20 because 4 goes into both of those evenly. So many choices for the name! I'm going to choose Piper. I have been obsessed with that name lately so maybe I am picking up something psychicly.
Can I be your hair stylist and make up artist for when you leave the hospital and need to make a public appearance?
I say she's like me and comes early, so I say August 8. Babies are always born at the most inconventient times, so, sorry Courtney, I'm guessing she will be born at 1am.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what you are going to name her, but I can't wait to find out!
Julie
Miriam will be born at 9pm on August 9 ;)
ReplyDeleteOOh I will play. You know that just because baby 1 was early doesn't mean baby 2 will be, so August 25th 6 a.m. :) I say Greta will be her name. Total shot in the dark, but it's also a German name and something you might like.
ReplyDeleteuh-oh, Sjaco didn't do her research, Jason refuses names that end in A. Too bad because I can think of a few good names for baby#2 that end in A.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that Cersei will be born on Sunday, August 18 in the evening.
I keep returning to all these C names. I know Cersei is a reach, but I have a good feeling about C.
I love this and have to keep returning to see what other names have been guessed.
I'm guessing that Pearl will be born on August 16 :)
ReplyDeleteI think Alice will be born on 8/17 at 2:15 pm.
ReplyDeleteOk, since Alice is a no go (WHOOPS :)) My second guess is Josephine. That was a top contender for us until we found our #2 was a boy. We can't use it for #3 because Joseph is Ezra's middle name. Love it still!
DeleteCan I put in two guesses? My first guess is Hadley. The second is Abigail. I like both :) Either way, I think she will be born during early afternoon tea at 4pm on August 16th.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to say se is going to be born on my birthday, August 10th at 6:38 pm :)
ReplyDeleteAre the names you listed your choices or are they not in contention?
Not in contention - just stylistic guidelines to help everyone guess :)
DeleteHmm, Sjaco is Sarah Jacobs btw, but you probably already figured it out. Was not aware of the no ending in a rule. I guess it makes sense since her last name ends in a. Can I take another guess?? IDK Marin?? NO matter what her name is, she will be beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely having a hard time thinking of a possible name...especially since every name on MY baby list ends in an "A." But, I think she will be born on August 21st at 7:35am. Xox - can't wait to meet her!
ReplyDeleteOK...typed both your top 5's into nymbler along with "Lorelei" and picked my favorite of the names it suggested (can you tell I was bored?). I'm going to go with the name Winifred for my vote.
ReplyDeleteThe official Kamen guess:
ReplyDeleteAug 10, 5:03AM
6 pounds, 12 oz
(1) Maggie Elise OR
(2) Lilian Darlene
I guess August 17th at 2:08 p.m.
ReplyDeleteName: Adelaide
How exciting you're in the home stretch!
Alyssa WM
Flannery will be born on August 26th at 2:29 am!
