I'm out already with March 27th, unless you can wait one more year to have the baby?  ;)

Ernie -

this probably doesn't really count, but a colleague of mine had twins on March 27th.  A boy and a girl.  I don't know how much they weighed, but perhaps you won that pool  ;D

Retrosig 5/31/07 Drs. Battista & Kazan (Hinsdale, Illinois)
Left AN 3.0 cm (1.5 cm @ diagnosis 6 wks prior) SSD. BAHA implant 3/4/08 (Dr. Battista) Divino 6/4/08  BP100 4/2010 BAHA 5 8/2015

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Ernie,
You mean you live in Florida, and you don't have a pool?  Well, if I win (and it looks possible at this point), I'll give it to you.

SHE'S HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

email I received, so I can share with you all!


Hello everyone,

Katie and Brett are very pleased to announce the addition of Audrey
Celeste Bonner to our family.  She arrived this morning, April 6, at
8:09 AM, weighing 8 pounds, 10 ounces and 20-1/2" long.  Mom and baby
are both healthy and doing great.  Elliot and Jonah have already met
their baby sister, and Elliot has pronounced her "kind of cute" and
"really small".  Jonah guessed that she weighed "zero pounds".  Mom
and Dad are now searching for the instruction book for the "girl"
model, since they only have prior experience with the "boy" model.

For those wishing to see pictures, please have a look at:

(Thanks to Katie's brother, Andy Radin, for the wonderful photos and
the web posting.)

Katie,
Oh, she's so cute!  Is that red hair or just the lighting?  I really thought I was going to win, but that's okay, Phyl was already the auntie, so I'm happy for her.
See you on the 19th.  Enjoy!
I'll be having a C-resection (C stands for craniotomy) tomorrow for my little bundle of joy.
So happy for you to have a girl, too.

Katie, CONGRATULATIONS!  The girl model is nearly the same as the boy model, but costs a LOT more to maintain :).  Ok, there are some other differences too :).

Nancy,
 
I sure hope your bundle of joy doesn't weigh 8 pounds 10 ounces!

YEA - IT'S A GIRL!!  You know I am kind of partial to girlies!!  I think that you will find that "indoor plumbing" is much easier to maintain!!  We were always scared about the "outdoor plumbing" model!!   ;D  Call me if you want to talk girlies!  Ernie is right, girlies are MUCH more expensive - when we had our 3rd (we never found out either), we were going to put on the announcement "send money now for the wedding fund" but we were afraid someone would take us seriously!!  Girls are SO fun!!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Katie,
Audrey is beautiful, as is her Mom!  You look wonderful. (but I should have known you would, you came through AN surgery looking like it had been a tea party!)  Congratulations and best wishes to you all.
