The betting pool, that is. Ever since our inconclusive sonogram last Friday, I've had people tell me, "See? I told you it was a girl." I've had others tell me not to be in suspense a moment longer, because guess what? Yep, I'm having a boy.My cousin tells me to listen to no one but my own instinct. She knew the second she was pregnant that her baby was a girl. Her sister, when she was pregnant, was so confident it was a boy she didn't bother even thinking up a girl's name.
The problem is, as I've honestly stated before, I have no maternal instincts. Me and the pizza delivery guy have an equal shot at guessing the sex of my baby.
So, as I'm not a gambling person, I purpose this: please post your name, your guess as to the sex of the baby, and your top three suggestions for a name. Simply post as a comment to this entry. When we find out the sex of the baby (we'll take another shot at it next month), we'll chose a name from among those who guessed correctly (hereby referred to as the 'Winners'). If all of the names horrify Tim, we reserve the right to use the winning name as a middle name. Good luck, and may the Winners please, please, for the love of all that's good, not select the name Olga.
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. To enter, post your entry as a comment (below). To be eligible, entries must be completed and received on or by the 15th of February or Baby Dowdel's next sonogram (whichever is later). Incomplete entries will be disqualified.

I'm saying girl only because in our family, girls outnumber the boys. I'd take a more educated guess if I had the opportunity to see you regularly. Of course the doctor told me chelsea was a boy---------NOT!

1)Carina - means "dear" Angeline - means "angelic/messenger" Maakestad (CAMy for short)
2)Melyanna - means "dear gift" Elenna - means "starwards" Names are Elvish are taken from J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Silmarillion"
3) Sophia - means "wisdom" (like her parents) Lizette means "lively" or "my God is a vow" and it pays homage to her mother's name
That's all I got peoples!! Now, I need to go shopping for some pink clothes!
By the way LIZA--I was not maternal either...I actually never wanted any children and was in total denial when the doctor told me I was pregnant. I took FIVE pregnancy tests because I thought the previous tests were all wrong (even the doctors') and it didn't sink in until I heard her heartbeat the 1st time.
Love you all!
