Because Peanut and I are due to have our babies pretty close, we decided to have a Baby Pool.
So what I figured (and anyone is free to give input, it would be appreciated!) is we would bet on delivery date and weight. Seeing as both Peanut and I know what we are having, no sense on betting on the sex.
We're due the last week of July and the first week of August. If there are other CP users or users wives that are due around this time, the more the merrier!
When I did the spreadsheet, because there are so many squares, I think it would be cool to have one entry per "baby-maker". So right now, because there are 2 of us, every person can pick 2 squares. If more women enter (or are entered by their partners) then people get more squares.
So how about people can PM me any "baby-maker" entries by Monday (June 8) and then we can do 3 weeks of picks. I wanted it to be an on going thing to get as many people getting to pick squares, so the only way I thought of doing picks was a "first-come-first-served" first post on the contest board gets those squares and if someone beats you to your pick, too bad. Try again.
Am I missing something here, or not explaining this well enough? Input and suggestions and "Baby-Maker" entries due by June 8 @ midnight and then the contest will start on Tuesday when I open the thread (at whatever time I want :p ) will start the baby pool. Cutoff for picks will be June 30th midnight.
Here's the pool board I came up with (let me know if I missed a date or a weight... remember: I sell luggage, I'm not a computer programmer!)

Cheers!
PS: and no, the winner does not get to name the baby! EDIT: as GTF suggested: no, you don't get to keep the baby either.
