OOC Event: Baby Pool!

Post by Mele » Fri Apr 19, 2013 3:18 am

Hey guys! I remember a long time back another imm was having a baby and she ran a pool which people enjoyed - to guess the birth date of the upcoming babe!

So I submit to you, my upcoming babe! Here's the deal. Post with a CHARACTER name of yours, and submit 5 plat to the 'pool' - then you can guess a birth date, weight, height and sex (I haven't been horribly hush hush about that, but I've never gone public here! Try not to spoil it. ;) )

The winner(s) will get(split) the pool and a special prize unique to their listed character from me. :)

Here are the details: My physical due date is May 16 - this makes me full term next Thursday at April 25, creating a huge window of torturous wait time for me of April 25 - May 30. My doctor however, will not likely 'allow' me to go past my due date, and has already scheduled me on my 'post baby' appointment for May 22. It's my first, they are rumored to always be late - BUT! the tiny person is way low on me and always has been, and has been locked and loaded for weeks now - no one seems to think I'll be making it to due date.. :) Other than that there are no other pre-existing conditions to cause an early incoming, no GD or pre-e etc.

Submission example:

Character: Beshaba

May 5
8lbs 3oz
21 in
Boygirl!

Post here and you can mail plat to Beshaba! :)

I'd say good luck, but you know... ;)

Justice is not neccesarily honourable, it is a tolerable business, in essence you tolerate honour until it impedes justice, then you do what is right.

Spelling is not necessarily correct :)

Now, usually I would ask a ton of questions about bump shape/size/sticky-out or flat, but my method for sex determination failed me recently so I tossed a coin. :)

Never mind good luck to us, good luck to you! Yeah, I said it. Slay me later.

Weit in der Champagne im Mittsommergrün,
dort, wo zwischen Grabkreuzen Mohnblumen blühn,
da flüstern die Gräser und wiegen sich leicht
im Wind, der sanft über das Gräberfeld streicht.

Also, he will have laser-shooting eyes and steel-rending talons and will be like a god unto men.

Good luck when he hits the terrible twos! I recommend lead-plating the entire house to block out his insidious psychic powers, but either way is fine really (hey, free servants, ie. neighbours enthralled by the aforementioned psychic powers)

Wishing my doom upon me! ;) And I don't even have gestational diabetes either!

On another note; I spent 3 hours in the middle of the night with contractions 20 mins apart. Dun dun dun - not likely much of anything but a nice little teaser. ;)

I should have moved my date up. Mother's day would be a nice gift, but I bet you will have the bundle of joy in the next week or so!

May 10 is the day - 7lb5oz is the weight - 19.5 in height.


Have not sifted through for winner yet but I know there were five plat pumps missing so be sure to get it in.

If the winner has not by the time I am back on my feet I will have to defer to the next closest. :)
