Baby Pool

Faye and Andrew's baby is almost here. Everyone is so excited for them and we want to share that fun and excitement with you.

So we've started a baby pool.

All you have to do is guess the baby's:
- sex

- birthdate

- weight

and post it here in the comments for a chance to win a super duper prize package*.


Rules and Regulations:

The player with the highest score wins the pool. Each player starts with 1000 points.


Wrong sex: -15 points

Wrong date: -1 point per day

Wrong weight: -0.5 points per ounce

In the event of a tie, the player with the highest score who entered their guess first will be declared the winner.

BONUS QUESTION: Guess the baby's name, just for fun!


No purchase necessary :)

Here are some facts and a photo which may or may not help in making an educated guess. Her due date is January 7, 2007. Here is a recent photo of her, for those of you who can tell something by the way she is carrying the baby. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them here and we'll try to answer them. (would you like her to spin her wedding ring over her belly and tell you what happens?)

Son poids : 3kg050*
Sa taille : 48cm*
(la même date, le même poids et la même taille que Lucas).


Pour le prénom : Michaël??????

Grandma said...

Hi Paulette, I think Baby girl will arrive on Jan. 9/07 weighing 7 lb. 7 oz. named Kayla Marie. That's my guess. Rose. (Rosella)

Grandma said...

It will be a girl
born on Jan 11th
weight will be 8lbs 9oz
her name will be Mayra

The reasons behind my choses are......Daryl has two girls and Denise a boy
Michelle has two boys....Faye will have a girl.....my birthday is Dec. 11.....Jan 11th is the logical answer.....and she looks like an 81/2 lbs and I just saw the name in a book.

I think Faye and Andrew will have a baby girl on Jan 7th (cuz Faye is just that together and it's my Mum's birthday so I'm kind of partial to that date). I'm going to guess the weight at 8lbs, 4 oz.

I'm not going to even attempt a name.....

Best wishes Faye (and Andrew of course!)

Nathalie said...

ok...
I think the baby is a boy. He will arrive on Jan.3rd. His weigh will be 3.230 kg (I will not risk the conversion!!).

His name could be.. Arthur, or Ethan???

Love from France to the parents-to-be!

Mel and John said...

January 2nd
8lbs. 3oz.
boy
Thomas Steen Robyard

Andrew said...

Even though I see Faye every day, I have no clue about what kind of baby this will be. (except I might have a little extra info on the possible name)

Girl
January 10th
8lbs, 15 oz

Mel and John: I like the wpg jets reference!...but I'm not sure Faye would go for it.

Andrew said...

Just for the record:
3.23 kg = 7.121 lbs
= 7 lbs 2 oz
(to the nearest ounce)

Anonymous said...

I'm going with the following guesses, even though I haven't seen Faye in way too long:

Baby boy
January 5, 2007
8 lbs 2 oz

Name........ hmmmmmm....... I'll go with Hayden Andrew Byard

Good Luck Faye & Andrew and Merry Xmas !!!!

Hi Faye and Andrew...

Old wives tales state that the woman produces the number of children that a couple has at one time ie twins or singles.. and the man produces the sex.. therefore in Byard fashion since most of us have had girls first.. with the exception of Christine, by normal logic this baby should be a GIRL... as for the name? well I have not been around you both long enough to know your hearts desire. but I will say dont pick anything that will sound really dumb when she is a grandparent. like Tiffany or any other assorted pop star names of this century,,, can you imagine saying .,.ah grandma Tiffany, can I come over ... anyhow I digress...
the weight.. lets guess 8 lbs 6 ozs...
as for the birthdate.. it would be awesome for the Byard circle of life to have Jan 10th.. Granddad Ken Byard's birthday..

best wishes and best of luck on a speedy healthy delivery...

love the Hornby's

Virginia, Mark , Melanie, Michael and Michelle.... xox
see you at the reunion...

Grandma said...

Grandpa Robillard guesses:

Baby boy
January 2,2007
8 lbs. 9 oz.
Joshua

Elana said...

I think Faye will have a baby boy on Jan 6/07. I think he will be 8 lbs 4 oz. A good name could be Aidan Byard. I love the name Aidan but it happens to be someone Steve went to school with, so sadly the name is out for us. I great name though! All the best Faye!!

Elana:)

Faye Byard said...

Awesome cousin Megan's best guess is...

Hi Faye and Andrew,

I would like to guess that the baby will be born on my birthday January 6th 2007.
I think the baby will be a girl and will be 10 lbs.
I also think her name will be Mary Anna.

I'll see you lucky three in the summer !!!

Faye Byard said...

Amanda's guess...

My guess is that you are going to have a boy and it will be born on Jan. 10 and it will be 8 lbs and 4 ozs.

Faye Byard said...

Janelle's Guess:
Baby Girl
January 17 (I know, kind of mean guessing this late!)
8lbs 2oz

My reasoning: I think you're carrying like I did with Brooke. I'm also assuming you will go overdue and will be induced on the 15th and then deliver on the 17th (plus Brooke was born on a 17 so it will make it easier to remember). As for a name, ???, how about Katelyn Michelle.

Good luck with everything Faye and Andrew!

Faye Byard said...

Je pense une petite fille naitra le 5 janvier, pesera 8 poids 4 onces, et aura la taille 20.5 pouces. Le nom est a probleme exclusivement pour les parents, mais je suggeste Sandrine Florence.
