Dr Feelgood
We have a doctor’s appointment today. I used to hate going to the doctors but since Jen got pregnant I love it. We get to hear the babies heart beat and it is insane how happy that makes me feel. I used to think that the best sound in the world was David Bowie’s Hunky Dory album, but now I have changed my mind and it is hearing my daughter’s heart beat.
We went a few weeks ago (about 8) for the ultrasound and you get to see your baby on the screen and they take pictures for you. It is a really moving experience and one I will never forget. When we had this done the technician told us that we were going to have a girl. We were excited and told everyone that we were having a sister for Emma. We then went to our doctor 2 weeks later and told her that we had been told it was a girl, and she said that we couldn’t be too sure because 18 weeks is the earliest they can tell the sex, and boy parts can still develop later! Now Jen is worried because we have bought loads of pink stuff for the baby. I’m sure it won’t matter, in fact all that matters is having a nice healthy baby.
Emma has decided that she wants the baby now, and it is quite hard trying to explain to her that it would be a bad thing for the baby to come this early.
Now Jen was 3 weeks early with Emma and second (and subsequent) babies are supposed to be easier and earlier, so I am proposing to have a sweep stake on when our baby will be born. Jen is due on 5 Jan 2007 – so please submit your date and the closest will get a prize. You can post them on this site or send me an email. If two of you chose the same date the prize will be shared.

P.s What's the prize? I'm not agreeing to any baby sitting sessions!
The prize is not baby sitting sessions. It is a much sought after prize. I have noted your date choice. Good Luck!
27 has always been a lucky number for me - 27 December sounds like a good birthday for Geoffrey

Amanda doesn't buy the 'early' thing... 9 January is her guess.
Jurg again
Accepted and noted Mr & Mrs Jurg. I won't disclose your real name as I notice you like to be called Anonymous.
I will have to go for New Years Eve. With all that excitement Im sure it might pop out a wee bit early!!!
Jordo x x
Boxing Day - coz that's usually a really boring day, so you might as well liven it up a bit!!
Annalisa
i will go for the 28th, no reson why, apart from why not
Jayne's going for 11th of January, I'm not sure she's taking this seriously!!

20th December is my guess. I don't think it will be as early as Emma was but early nonetheless.

Wow the take up on this competition has been better that I anticipated. I say good luck to you all. Believe me the prize is one to cherish, and I was tempted to cheat and keep it for myself, but I will be good to my word.
By the way I am going for 6 January but if I win I will donate the prize to the next nearest answer.
