The Gray Family: The Guessing Game...

Alright, it's time to put in your best guesses for when this little man is going to make his appearance. My official due date is February 11th. Both Adam and Anna came on their due dates and Camille came 9 days early. Just to be fair, I did have a doctor appointment yesterday and was already 1 1/2 cm dialated, 70% effaced, and baby is sitting at +1 (so we're thinking early). Leave your guess with the date and weight in the comment space below.

Oh and the winner of both the date and weight (2 winners) can choose one of the following prizes (depending on your location). First entry for the correct date and exact weight will be considered winners so check that your guess isn't a repeat. If there are no exact guesses we'll take the closest one(s) and if necessary do a drawing. Make sense? Ok, here are your prizes:

- A Large Slush-It! Pack shipped to your door (You know you want one...)

-A $10 gift card to Cold Stone Creamery (My favorite ice cream place, and I LOVE ice cream!) Also shipped to your door.

- A $10 gift card to Target (A place I frequent and where I spend a lot of $) Shipped to your door.

-OR 1 hour access to my handy dandy husband and his cool work shop. (My favorite guy will fix, build, or help you with that project you've been wanting to complete!) Sorry, this is for local residents only... that is unless you buy the plane ticket or you bank this for some future date when we happen to visit you (workshop not included for traveling options).

Once the baby arrives I'll post the winners on the blog. Winners have 1 week to respond or we'll pick another winner.

Good Luck and we'll keep you posted!

Kid Quotes

4/13 Calvin saying all of our names, "Dada, Mama, Am, Nana, Ca-Ca, Ca-Ca." Now he says, "Cal-m," for Calvin.

6/13 Anytime Calvin is sad or wanting my attention he says, "weed a wuve," meaning, need a love. He then gives me a big hug and pats my back.

4/13 "Todds and Shones," Calvin asking for the ipod and phone to play on.

11/12 I told Camille we had to go the grocery store to buy a turkey for thanksgiving. She asked, "what store has turkeys?" Me, "Cub Foods (our normal store)." Camille, "I didn't know Cub Foods has turkeys." Me, "well they are frozen turkeys." Camille after thinking a minute, "I don't think the turkeys like to be frozen." Me, "well, honey, they are dead turkeys so they don't care." Camille, "I don't like turkey. I'm not going to eat turkey for thanksgiving." Me, "no, you like turkey. It tastes like chicken." Camille thinking some more, "Because they eat chicken?" Me, "No, no, the turkey doesn't eat chicken. It just tastes like chicken." Camille, "Oh." She couldn't wait to see the frozen turkey.

10/12 Camille, "Mom, can you tuck me in like a Dorrito?" Me, "You mean a burrito?" Camille, "No, a Dorrito. They're yummy."

5/12 This one is from me after listening to a visiting General Authority from Utah, "Where do Utahans get the "t" in Wilt-son (or Nelt-son) from? From their moun'ains."

4/12 Camille, "How do I grow up to be a princess like Cinderella?" She asks this at least once a day.

10/20/11 Camille while having a fit and crying, "I don't want to be happy, I want to be crying." That about sums her up:)

3/3/11 Adam while looking at Calvin, "He looks like someone I know, but forgot."

2/25/11 Anna: "What's a stay?" Me: "A what?" Anna: "A stay, like when we pray." Me: "What?" Anna: "Please bless this stay." Me: "Oh, you mean day." (The really funny thing is that she's been saying this in almost every prayer for years.)

11/29/10 Adam: "Do you know what an encyclopedia is?" Anna: "What?" Adam: "It's what they had before Google."

11/27/10 Anna to Adam while playing house: "Adam, I'm getting that feeling again..." Adam: "What feeling?" Anna: "I'm going to have another baby." Adam: "Oh no!"

10/8/10 Camille while we were viewing stars, "Ju-pi-ter, Ju-pi-ter, WOW. Itz cool."

1/31/10 Adam: "Want to know why I don't want be a doctor when I grow up?"

Me: "Why?"

Adam: "Because they have to know the names of all the bones in the body. When you're a baby there are more than 300 and when you grow up there are more than 200. There are 206- I think."

(He learned about the body at school last year and could still remember how many bones are in the human body- 206!)

1/30/10 Anna while playing house, "Let's make this nice and filthy... Mom, what does filthy mean?"

3/09 Adam: "It's to bad I can't marry Camille because she so cute."

2/20/09 Anna to Camille: "You're the most special baby. You're the pretty baby in the world."

1/09 Anna referring to Camille: "Mom, how long are we going to keep her?"

1/09 We just finished moving Anna into Adam's room to make room for Camille. Adam: "When we have another baby after this one, we can sleep in a tent!" I guess he was thinking there are no more beds left so he'd have to give his up.

10/08 Anna: "Mom, I just saw a scary crow!" (I guess some scarecrows are pretty scary:)

6/7/08 The kids spent the night at Grandma & Grandpa's. When they woke up in the morning Grandpa wasn't there and Grandma had them guess where he went. Adam said, "Oh I know, he went golf balling!" He was right.

4/21/08 We got to preschool today and Adam asked, "Mom, are we late?" in a panicky voice. I said, "No, we are early." He responded, "What is early?" I guess we'll have to work on that:)

3/22/08 We had our Easter egg hunt today. After we finished finding all the eggs Anna said, "Let's try that again."

11/3/07 Today I put pig tails in Anna's hair. She was so proud of them she kept calling them her, "pretty tails."

4/07 Adam just learned to put on his seat belt by himself and said, "All I need to do now is learn to drive the car."

Kara said...: I have been meaning to write a comment to you for forever. I read your blog all the time and talk to you in my head so I feel like we are up to date with each other, but we really haven't seen or talked to each other in Years. I would love to get our families together. Our husbands would get along great ( both engineering and such) and our kids are all just about the same ages. You are such a great mom and give me great ideas. Good luck with #4. 3 kids wasn't so bad, but 4 is killing me. I just can't seem to get a head. But I should stop writing and make my guess.
