We recieved this email from MrBL’s nephew. The couple who’s wedding we went to in Canberra.

Ladies and Gents,

In case you haven’t heard, I want to share some news with you all – my wife ***** and I are soon to be extending our little family – with a baby on the way. Currently, ***** is at 17 weeks pregnant and we’re getting prepared for some exciting changes ahead. The very first ultrasound pic is attached (at 12 weeks) – we’re quite proud.

To get the word out and to keep things interesting, the soon-to-be-extended ********** family are running a baby competition! We are asking you to guess our baby’s details and the person with the most correct answers will win a bottle of champagne. You are cordially invited to participate and to pass this on to anyone who’s email we may have missed. The closing date is the 1.8.08.

If you’d like to participate, answer the following questions and please return to ***** at ******************* for your chance to win big (or biggish)! We will also print off all of your answers and put them into our baby book for the baby to read later on.

It’s fair to say that we don’t know what sex it is yet (but we should after 1.8.08, hence the closing date) and haven’t begun to talk about any names. Our technical due date is also Christmas Eve. It’s anyone’s game!

Thanks a lot everyone!

Best wished,

Your name:

Baby’s sex:

Baby’s birthday:

Baby’s time of birth:

Baby’s weight:

Baby’s length:

Baby’s first name:

Baby’s middle name:

Amount of time (in hours) before Dad takes Baby * outside to introduce it to it’s big black brother (i.e. “The SS”):

Message to the baby from you (your choice):

Terms and Conditions:

1. All judge’s decisions are final and no correspondence will be entered into!

2. Under age winners will receive an equivalent non-alchoholic prize.

3. Closing date is 1.8.08.

That’s very clever. Creates some nice memories and history for the baby.

Maybe they like MASH? LOL. There was a pool to guess Col Potter’s grandchild’s birth date, weight and sex. “Buck a pop.” Father Mulcahy won; said he had some inside knowledge of conceptions.

It’s very much their style. They’re a lovely couple and the wedding had lots of little personal touches like that.

I usually think of these sorts of things. About five years after the event.

Oh what a wonderful way (and fun too) to announce and wait for a baby to arrive:)
