Wanna Bet?

With just a shade over 3 weeks to go, we're getting a little bored in the Wentz household. Yes...we've heard, ad nauseum, that "you won't be bored when the baby gets here" and "enjoy it while you can, blah blah blah." Look, at this point, we're Charlie Brown and the advice givers are the teacher. We don't care and we're no longer listening. And that is said with the utmost respect, love ;) and just a hint of naivete.

So...in the spirit of, well, nothing really, we're taking bets on when Harper will arrive and how much she'll weigh. Elizabeth thinks the prize should be a bottle of wine - but I think that's lame and Elizabeth will probably drink it before we can mail it anyway. Paula/Giagia has taken the liberty of choosing 3 dates and should be disqualified but the judge's ruling for her is a bottle of 2 Buck Chuck should she claim victory.

As you ask yourself, "Self, why should I play the game when I don't really know what's in it for me?" Look, we know how often you're on here and since you're out there blog-stalking anyway...entertain us all (and yourself) and vote. It'll be good practice for the upcoming election. Only this outcome will produce actual results and although I can't promise a tax cut or socialized medicine, it shall be fun.

Post your bet as a comment. Don't be shy.
