With the official results now in it’s time to review the leader board for the baby prediction quiz! Well done Grandpa Henry with a score of 97/100 that was some good guessing!

Scoring:
Sex: 25pts for a correct guess
Date: Perfect guess = 50pts, 1 day off = 40pts, 2 days off = 35pts. Minus 3pts for each additional day off.
Weight: Perfect guess = 25pts. Minus 1 pt per ounce you are off.
The worst you could do in any given category was 0 pts, i.e., there were no negative scores.

PS – Don’t get the wrong idea… scoring was calculated automatically by Google Docs and published here with a couple clicks. This is not how I’m spending the majority of my time!

So… Decided I’d take Jen to her routine weekly OB appointment today at 3:15 only to learn 30 minutes later we’d be heading straight to the hospital.

The baby was breech and Jen was at 5cm so plans changed pretty quickly and she was booked in for a c-section.

Less than 2 hours later a beautiful baby girl was born!

Well the votes are in and the survey closed so here’s what you all had to say about the Bump!

Total Votes: 49
Sex: It’s a dead heat with 51% voting boy and 49% voting girl.
Birthdate: The mean date was 4/16 skewed towards an early arrival by a number of voters. This gave a large standard deviation of +/- 12 days.
Weight: The predicted weight was 7lb 5oz +/- 11oz which seems reasonable.
