Snarky contest!
After 22 long weeks of harboring a foreign object in my body, not picking my kids up and generally having some sort of low-level worries in the back of my mind at all times, my cerclage will be removed tomorrow.
On the other hand, that also means I now have no excuse for not vacuuming, scrubbing the floors or carrying groceries. Shhh, don't tell Josh. I am going to try to keep up the charade for the next six months. I mean you totally can't scrub floors until you're at least six months postpartum, right?
So. In honor of the possible birth tomorrow, I announce the "Guess The Snarky Birth" contest. You have from now until tomorrow (Nov. 20) at 1 p.m. CT to make your guesses. The timestamp on your comment serves as proof of you getting in before the deadline. You guess the birth date, followed by sex and weight. Winner takes home $50 worth of Snarky Babies merchandise (designs of your choice)! Don't have kids? We have adult shirts, too. Or pet designs. Something for everyone!
To be clear, you need to first guess the correct date of the birth and any ties will be decided with a correct guess of the sex of WeeBey; if there's still a tie, winner decided by the guess of the weight. You have to come closest without going over in both the date and weight categories.
Some valuable information I will share with you all:
* My cerclage removal is tomorrow at 36 weeks 3 days; actual due date is Dec. 15.
* With Jack, I went 17 days after removal.
* With Emmie I went 12 days after removal.
* If I do not go into labor on my own, I will likely be induced Dec. 7.
* Jack weighed 6lbs 11oz at 38 weeks 4 days.
* Emmie weighed 6lbs 8oz at 38 weeks 2 days.
* My belly measured 35 weeks at yesterday's appointment.
* The head is so low, my OB can feel it when she checks my cervix.
* My OB will be out of the country from Nov. 28-Dec. 4 (Hello, karma).
On your marks, get set, guess!
(No purchase necessary to enter, but it would be nice. Snarky Family and employees of SnarkyBabies are allowed to enter, but I might not actually give them the prize if they win. Contest might only be valid in states that allow marrying your 14-year-old cousin, but if you're cool, I will give you the prize anyway. If you're looking for legal jargon, you're out of luck. I have an attorney friend who will save me from any litigation anyway, so don't worry. Winner's blog (if he/she has one) will get a shout-out on snarkymommy.com as part of the prize. If you don't like me, and don't like my blog, you can still guess. But why would you want to?)
