Wow! It’s Wednesday! Baby Betty Pool
So there are two things I’ve been wondering about hardcore lately:
1) What does Betty need with every available bit of moisture in my body? I can no longer wear contacts. I’ve got dry skin tags all over, and if I try to skip my moisturizing routine for even a day I have to deal with all-over body itch. I wouldn’t mind, except I have no idea what she could be using my moisture reserves for, since she’s got like a ton of amniotic fluid to keep her nice and lubricated.
And…
2) When is Betty going to come?
I fear the first question will never be answered, but the second one is totally crowd sourceable.
So without further ado, let’s run a Baby Betty pool in the comments. My due date is June 22nd. Guesses should consist of both the date AND the time of birth and please make sure to check the guesses before yours, so that we don’t have doubles.
Whoever guesses the closest date and time of the birth will not only get the glory and online mention of guessing correctly, but also two signed copies of my book when it comes out next year.
Sound good? Let’s play. I’ll throw out the first guess: June 12th, 9:00am. Now it’s your turn.

A friend of mine had pools (with actual entry fees and a cash prize) for both of his kids, including date and time of birth, weight, length, sex. For both kids, his wife won. Very fishy — at the very least, she had inside (ha ha) info from the ultrasounds.
I thought of doing a nice, complicated one like that, but I didn't trust myself to track it like I should and keep everything straight, so that the cash prize got distributed correctly. So I'm keeping it simple…

they say first babies are always late, and considering it's ernessa's baby, how could she possibly be on time? but, since the kid is also half christian's, i'll give her the benefit of the doubt.

I reckon June 11th at 7pm (Mio was born on that date 2 years ago…that way I'll never forget little Betty's birthday!!). Incidentally am I just not keeping up with all the coverage or do you actually know that it's a girl and if so, are you definitely naming her Betty??
We know it's a girl and we're definitely naming her Betty — though how cool would it be if we didn't know the gender, and we're just referring to the baby as Betty. Just because.

Brian was born on June 8th, so I am going to guess the 8th. And it will probably be around 9:00 PM California time, because just my luck we will be asleep and I won't know until the next day!
