I know we're not over and we're not super close (as in hours) but we are in the clear for delivery of the newest dependant for the Betty's clan. So I just thought it would be fun to Guess when the little guy will make his grand entrance. I've set up a poll to the right and I've got a prize for the person that gets the closest. Put your exact time and date in the comments and I'll send out a great little something to the person that's the closest. If you get the hour I'll send a really great prize.
My personal vote counts too. Mainly because I like the prize and want it so to be fair I'm saying my time here and now to be honest about not keeping it on purpose. April 21st, 2009 at 1300 hrs. However I think she'll labor for 2 days. Yes I'm sorry but I do. It took so much to get that baby growing in there and from personal experience it's those babies that don't want to leave. hint-you should start talking to him telling him about the getting out part of the growing process. You know ... debrief the little guy. That way he's not too shocked with all the "commotion".
Anyways, happy voting/guessing.

Doesn't count
While in the throws of labor I was told anything goes. My doctor told my sweet husband to not remember anything I say during any of it. I.E. get out , leave me alone, you stink, I hate you for doing this to me, pull it out, pull it out, get me drugs....okay now that one he said to really pay attention to what type of drugs she wants.
So I ask you what are some of the great and memorable lines said in the delivery room, house, back seat of the car. Oh and anything fun happen on the way to the hospital? Did anyone have a husband that left you and drove off only to reverse down the street at 100 mph?

Stuff They don't tell you
Those of us that are already on the other side of the threshold that our Jen is anticipating to cross have had some ... lets say ... "fun" experiences. What experiences you say?

Starting it off
Okay ladies. Well maybe I should say ladies and gentlemen. I'm not sure if everyone here is a female or not. Sooo lets start that again.
Ladies and Gentlemen. I'd like to start some of these posts for this shower with an invite to share how you all know Jen & JOSH. He is part of this too. You know...being the father and all. And if you've read her blog the flower holder. (I had to put that in there. I've only known a real cowboy to do that once before and yes he was seriously in love with the girl too. You did the right thing but still had to question how you got in that "predicament"). Anyway. Tell us how you know the new parents and make it cute and fun. We just might get some autographed 8x10 glossies of them if you're stories the best. I'm not promising anything but you never know. Josh just might have some ready to go in his filing cabinet at work. I have on good authority Jen's are back ordered. Problem with the printer you know. Real hush hush.

Welcome welcome
So to start us all out we're here to celebrate the little peanut growing in Jen's Belly. Hence the title ... Yes it's a Baby. 'cuz frankly I'm bitter that her tummy is so small and mine isn't and I'm not prego... But that's another rant.
I'm going to be adding to this periodically but it will essentially be a virtual baby shower for Jen. If you have any advice or funny antidotes or stories feel free to leave them here.
Also I hope to have a link up soon of the places that Jen's registered for baby supplies. And if you're like me you'll want to give cash so she can combine it and get the super ultra mega sandwich making stroller that flies instead of the towel and blanket combo I would have been able to afford. So chip in and feel free to just give cash and know that this new mommy will soon learn that pennies can really scream when pinched just right.
