Guess the weight of GG’s baby contest

Postby Nanoose » Thu Oct 07, 2010 8:49 pm

I thought that it would be fun to have a contest to see who can come closest to the weight
of GG’s baby when it is born (in about a week). To make it more interesting I will donate $20 to the favorite charity of the JAB memerber that comes the closest.

My guess is 6 pounds and 11 ounces.

Cheers and good luck!

My guess is 8 pounds 9 ounces. You can make that $20 check payable to Wahoo's favorite charity, the Help Send Wahoo to Negril Foundation.

Ya but what if the World ends in the spring of 2012 then the money I donate to the Wahoo South of France Summer of 2012 Tour Fund would be wasted. Cheers and happy week end!

7 pounds 1.5 ounces.

Should we make a wager that whoever guessed the worse has to donate $10 to breast cancer reesearch?

I'm not much of a betting man, but I'll take that bet...and double it if I turn out to be the worst guesser. Just as long as I don't have to donate to any organization that rhymes with Foctors Without Zorders. I made a small donation to them a couple of years ago, and they've been stalking me relentlessly--by phone, e-mail, and snail mail--for another donation ever since!

I am lousy at betting but it's worth a try. 5 lb. 6 oz.

If that pickney hasn't crowned yet, I'm gonna change my guess from 8 pounds 6 ounces back to 8 pounds 9 ounces 'cause I know GG's probably been eating like a horse!

I'm wondering if she made the whole thing up, it seems like she;s been talking about the pregnancy no for well over a year (kidding).

Damn it GG, pop that critter out and post up some pictures!

It wouldn't be the first time a woman lied about being pregnant in an attempt to ensnare me. :bs:

According to GG's facebook page she is currently in labor! No clue why she is posting on facebook while giving birth but to each their own.

Those epidural blocks are wondrous things...and they do totally block the pain...until they start wearing off.

I had one when I had arthroscopic knee surgery, and the epidural worked like a charm--no pain or sensation whatsoever...till it started to wear off before the surgical procedure was completed, then I wasn't a happy camper.

I would've been happier with a shot of Demerol... :thumbup:

Hip hip hurrah for GG! I did a quick metric conversion and calculated her daughter weighs a little over 80 pounds. Wait a second...that can't be right, can it? I must've forgot to carry the naught. I think 3,640 grams is something like 8 pounds 2 ounces. But I could be wrong, math's not my forte.

Even tho my math sux, I do know, with my expertise in metric conversions being a board-certified editor in the life sciences, that 1 inch equals exactly 2.54 centimeters, so I calculate that 49 centimeters equates to 19.2913582677165354330708 inches.

I just hope there's enough room on the birth certificate for all them numbers. :scratchheadblue:

Well we still have to figure out the weight so I know what charity to send $20 to – its probably around 8 pounds. Its still Sunday so I don’t want to convert.
(In case no body got the joke - Sunday is a Sabbath and I don’t want to convert).
She also has a very nice name to call her daughter. Cheers!
