Lard Bazaar 3,799 Posted November 30, 2009 Well - Well. Congatulations are due to OoO & Mrs OoO on the news of the upcoming birth of your first child in March. Wise idea to let someone else run the DDP. Those early months are like four-fold more hectic and you really need all your free time to be available for your new family member. Thanks for your splended efforts these last two years. Thanks for those new rules you instigated and brought to the pool which made quite an impact. Very well done, and all my best for your 2010. PS. Got any ideas for baby's name yet? PPS. Should we start a pole? Hi Ali, Thank you. PS All decided, but we don't know the sex of it yet... PPS You can do, but I have a feeling I might be at an advantage with guessing the name... We should do a sweepstake on the weight and date. I guess 17 March, weighing 7 lb 4 oz.

I think you should name it after me - as a sign of our solid and undying friendship... Anyway, congratulations to you and Mrs OoO. I'll guess 15th March and 7lb 5oz (only because I don't know how much babies generally weigh). Edit: It will be a boy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,175 Posted November 30, 2009 It won't be called Terry, that's for sure. If it's going to have a football name, which it isn't, it'll be called "Quinn Doyle Coppell" but thankfully the missus has decided against that. I'll play & go 7lbs 8 ozs & born on March 19th. I have no idea when or how much (apart from bloody expensive) it'll be. I am also going to guess it is a girl. I wonder, being the pedantic sod I am, whether OoO's baby guessing game should be a new thread & the DDP stay open for all DDP related "chat"..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,175 Posted November 30, 2009 Like it said on the DDP tin - at some stage I'll do a summary of entries so far. Just so you know - it's due on the 13th, but my birthday is on the 1st... I was a late baby, Mrs OoO early. There are no prizes of any sort to be won apart from the right to be smug. Apart from OoO & Mrs OoO who get joy & sleepless nights in equal measure.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,584 Posted November 30, 2009 Your lives will never be the same again when she's 13 and you explain that this bunch of cyberspace headcases you hardly knew all took a turn at naming her.

Body Snatcher 44 107 Posted December 1, 2009 It's Intriguing to see that on a forum where the major theme is based on death and all things associated with meeting ones maker, there is enough room to create a thread based on birth and the miracle of life... Having never met you personally (and probably never will) - I wish you all the very best. My bet is March 10th, at a healthy 8lb-even, and you'll name the child after the last celebrity to snuff it before the birth... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rotten Ali 600 Posted December 1, 2009 To DDT (1st April) & HCW (25th March) I'm thinking that you should ammend your dates. I was told that if the pregnancy goes on beyond a week, then the mother is booked-in for an induced labour on the due-date plus 10 days. That would be 23rd March and as it's a Tuesday there would typically be plenty of staff on duty. Start at 9am - seven and a half-hours labour. I'll even say 4:32pm, seeing as Honez and Abysmal Granite want in on my bagsy of March the 1st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It might be that the doctors due date is wrong. Plus I was 15 days late myself. The maximum is now 14 in our area, but if the due date is right, then the 27th is the latest. But if it's wrong, it could be in April.... So it's up for grabs. Mrs OoO (or rather, to be precise, Mrs OoO-to-be... shock *unmarried couple!*) is both pleased and a little disturbed. That's just by me, nothing to do with this thread.... When I get 5 minutes, I'll put the latest bets, unless someone kind & bored wants to do it first....
