The countdown begins…
Maternity leave has officially begun and the due date is just 9 days away!
Now is the time to cast your predictions.
The winner will receive one year’s free subscription to our blog (ha) and notoriety in knowing that you are the winner.
Here is how to cast your vote…
Reply through the “comments” section of the blog, or send an email to Eric at etjossem@gmail.com or me at lampert@rocketmail.com listing due date, gender, and weight. All official entries will be posted. The bidding stops on the 21st (Sunday), or before if the baby decides it wants to be known earlier. So vote early!
As an FYI, the actual due date is September 24.
The winner will be evaluated in this order:
1. Due date
2. Gender of child
3. Weight
All entries are welcome, but just know that you may not be on my good side if you choose to post a date in mid October, or a baby over 10 lbs.
Happy guessing.

September 28
8 pounds 3 ounces
Boy (Tomy, of course)
Whoo HOOOOO
Enjoy your "Time off" and really do sleep. I'd eat lots of Italian, too, if I could do it again. The tomato sauce seems to be a nursing no-no. And read non-parenting stuff while you still have the chance, too. That's what I miss.

What do you guys think? I'm curious! Good luck in these final days! I'm really happy and excited for the two of you! Y'all are going to make excellent parents, and I'm so glad I can follow along you on this journey!

If there is anything I can do via the internet, just let me know :) Matt
September 23
8 pounds 1 ounce
Girl
If I was to guess I'd say a girl on the 26th. The weight is another story, not knowing your forced Australian diet and all.
As for a name, don't rush it. You can call her #1 for at least a year. This gives a lot of time to make the right choice, and it covers a lot of ground. (from Star Trek to diaper maintenance.) Who knows, you and the kid might grow into it. And when both your genes really kick in she might become known as "The One"
September 26
Girl
7lbs 9oz
Good luck, and enjoy your leave!
Little Jean-Luc will join the Lampert-Tjossem family on September 27 (sorry.) and weigh in at 7lbs, 6 oz.
My guess: 7.5 pound boy born on Sept. 29 in the Conservatory with a candle stick.
Which way do babies come out in Australia? Best wishes to you both. Pete Butler
Hi E&E. Let's see???
1. Arriving Sept. 22 (at 8:42 am your local time).
2. A boy for sure (Let's call him Leo)
3. Since they do kilos there and I don't like to do those kinds of conversions I'm going with Matt's guess of 3.57 kilos...wait. Make that 3.58.

1. Due date: Sept. 26 (Friday's Child is loving and giving)
