Maren (my sister) came up with the idea of having a baby due date pool. The idea is to guess which day you think the baby is going to arrive. Everyone put money in for the day they wanted. I (fairly) drew names out of a bowl to determine the order in which each person would select the date of their choice. It was a lot of fun. We had people on speakerphone and people playing that were not even present but, had given their picks to "trusted" family members.
Jared and I are not allowed to participate because my competitive family thinks we could cheat by having info from the doctor, choosing a date (if a c-section happens), or "someone" even mentioned that I could hold out (which is impossible, if the baby is coming, I don't think there is much I can do to stop him). However, if the baby is born on a date that was not selected then we get the pot. So, here's to having the baby early!
