GoogleManOK! It must be the summer weather, for we FINALLY figured out who the winner is…and BOY (and do I mean BOY!) was it close! One of the things that the father enjoys are statistics, so let me break it down (for him)…

# of entries: 16 (total prize pool of $160)

gender: 4 entries selected BOY

weight: 6lbs. 10oz. (Grandma Souza guessed the exact weight!)

height: 52cm (Uncle Scotty guessed the closest height of 49cm)

eyes: Majority chose the color BROWN (but on some days, Zariyan’s
eyes are Olive Green)

D.O.B: 3 entries selected the EXACT date of March 21, 2007

time: 6:52am (Madoka was the closest entry with 6:43am!)

looks: This question is still up in the air so it was void

hair: Majority chose YES (that there would be hair)
—————————————————————————
When the final tabulations were counted, Madoka was the outright winner with 5 winning entries!

Congratulations to Madoka and for everyone who participated and I look forward to the next baby pool!

Aloha!

Daddy'OOkay folks,

 

For those of you who haven’t yet put your bids in, we had set the deadline for March 9th, however we feel it’s only fair to extend this until the baby is actually here. So… on that note, you can still put your guesses or should I say bets in untill the little piglet pops.

 

So don’t hesitate and get it in today!

 

Thanks!
🙂

Baby PigletOink, Oink, Everyone!

 

Is everyone having a fun start to MY YEAR!!! There is going to be a lot of us Golden Piggies running around this year, so be ready!

 

So Mommy Porky saw the Doc today and we have both gained a little more weight.

 

Weight : 130 lbs, that’s an extra pound per week since we last posted.

 
Waist : 36 inches. . .STILL, hmmmmm, I guess I’m just taking on all the weight in here.

 

I just love it in here. I don’t really like to kick like other kids, I prefer to be doing those Yoga Poses. Yup, Yoga poses! I try to see how long I can hold a pose for, like Mommy. Now and then she makes me stop though, and massages me to my curled up position. She tends to jump now and then when I stretch out in my inverted head stands. She says that it’s a little uncomfortable when my feet are in her rib cage and my hands are pushing hard on her pelvic bones. heheheheheeee. .. .Oh well, I still try though! I think it’s fun to make her jump.

 

I love it when she Salsa’s. I get tossed around all over the place. It makes me soooo happy and giggly, it’s like being tickled all over.

 

Well, that’s it for now. I think it’s time to get some sleep. Mommy and Daddy has been working long hours still, but they are just getting ready to take me to paradise. Yippy!

 

Can’t wait to meet you all soon!
