Katie -

I had no idea you could do something like this; very clever and cute  8)

I'm going with a girl.  Not that I don't like boys, but I figure after two of them it's time for a chance. 

So, if I win, do I get to be an honorary aunt like Phyl?

Funny...when I first saw "OT: baby pool", I thought of a tiny round swimming pool for a baby, that perhaps was going to have some use for vestibular exercises :)

Keeping in mind that I am always wrong on these baby predictions (I always did much better at the football pool), I'm going to say.....

a boy.  I don't know your due date, but I'm going to say it will be on a Tuesday.  And he'll weigh in at 7lbs, 8oz.  Brown hair.

So you can probably safely assume you will have a little redheaded girl on a Friday!   :D

We do not know if it's a boy or girl.  We didn't find out the first two times, and I didn't want to do it differently this last time!  LOL!

My first was born a redhead (and he still is at almost 7) and it shocked the heck out of us!!!  (I'm blonde, hubby is dark brown)  My second is a bright blond.  Maybe we'll get a brunette now to round out the mix!   :D

I too though of a small round swimming pool (the plastic kind), but didn't think about vestibular exercise possibilities at all.

Maybe you're on to something, Ernie  :D

Oooo, I wanna play too!   I put in the same time that my son was born, just for fun.   

I'm going for "my three sons".

PS  A neighbor, years ago, had a baby boy with lots of curly red hair.  She said the first words out of her mouth when she saw him was, Where did YOU come from?!  Then her husband said, oh, yeah, I think my grandmother had red hair.  He was of Scottish descent, so it goes with the territory, I think.
