the contest

we spent a long time in utah for winter break.....it was so great, lots of food, family, games, snow, sleeping in, and just general relaxing....
really. lots.
there was a small catch though....
i had to be pregnant the whole time..
not just pregnant, 8 months swollen, uncomfortable pregnant.
the uncomfortable part must have been obvious because everyone kept saying things like
'wow, somebody is ready to pop'
'i swear you are bigger since you got here'
'i think you are even bigger than you were yesterday'
'maybe its twins! hahahaha' (this one is always meant as a joke, so how come its never funny?)
or my favorite, from my mom...
'i would have never booked a ticket for the day after your due date if i would have seen you!'
translation: you're huge and there is no way you are going to wait for me to get there before you have the baby...
lovely things. all of them.
so everyone has decided to second guess nature and doctors and made their own 'educated guesses' as to when i am going to actually have this baby.
education provided by personal observation of my enlarged abdomen only...
here they are..
mom-feb 24, girl
jess-feb 18, boy
jr-feb 14, boy
kalli-feb 22, boy
tom-feb 19, boy
erin-feb 28, girl
brady and i got in on it too
brady-feb 23, boy
me-feb 17, girl
eli just keeps saying we are going to have a baby girl named alice...like his favorite persons little sister......
so what do you think?

Hmmm...how about girl, Feb. 15th? I'm waiting for that phone call in the middle of the night!

Burke family said...

I think it's definitely a girl...how bout tomorrow - then she would share a birthday with Jordan.

And enough about looking huge! I think you look way cute, and I'm not the kind of person (um, like you) who lies about something like that. :)

Angela said...

I'll have to go with Brady for a boy on the 23rd (that's my little boy's birthday; he was due on the 1st of March).

Carly Johnston said...

Girl- 21st. What do we win if we are right?

Janni said...

Just let me know when it happens... I've been meaning to call you to see how you are! And I think you looked GREAT when you were out here over break. Just for giggles, I'll say girl tomorrow, Feb 18th ;)

thejindras said...

Nicole said...

Hry Brooke, I hope you aren't pregnant and that you're just to busy holding a new baby to update us with the day, gender, weight, but...if not, good luck with the next few days!

I'm excited to hear about your new baby!
