The Baby Pool!!!
As you all may or may not know, our Managing Editor and maven of the Motivational Posters here at the Winchester Family Business, Ardeospina, it’s quite large now expecting her first child. It’s our first Winchester Family Business baby!
I started a Baby Pool on our forum, but it seems to have run out of steam. Since Ardeospina is due within the next few weeks, it was time to open it up here. So let me go through the guidelines again.
Throw your guesses in for the following:
– Date of birth
– Time of birth (please specify am or pm). Ardeospina is in the US Eastern time zone, if that makes a difference.
– Just in case we run into a tiebreaker situation, guess the weight too. You see, the sex is already known (I’ll let Ardeospina share that if she wants) and many of us know it, so gender is off the table.
I could go crazy with things like “Looks like Mom or Dad” or “Will it scream it’s fool head off when it comes out?” but I’ll keep it simple. Clever comments about the kid being a shapeshifting boy or girl, sometimes, will be accepted, though it really has no relevance to the contest. We just like weird comments.
Did I mention there are prizes? The person that comes the closest with the date and time guess wins!
The grand prize is a copy of the recently released Supernatural Season Six Companion Book. Also, you get a copy of the Season Five one as well. All those books really share some great behind the scenes stuff and this volume is no exception.
But wait, there’s an incentive prize. If anyone guesses within an hour of the birth, you win a Supernatural Season Six DVD set. That’s on top of the companion books.
For those 13 of you that already guessed in the forum, your entries are official and on the record. No need to resubmit unless you want to add the weight now.
Here’s my guess, just for bragging rights. I’m not eligible to win. 🙁 October 9th at 4:15 pm. Weight, 8 lbs 9 oz.
Already everyone, ready-set-go! Get your guesses in now. Oh, and no taking someone else’s guess and adding a minute to it. I’ll list the other entries made in the comments below.
Good luck everyone, but especially Ardeospina. She really doesn’t know what she’s getting into, does she? 
First congratulations for the baby!

Thanks for the congrats, everyone!
And we’re having a girl, so she’ll have a tough decision to make: Sam, Dean, or Cass? Tough choice.
… well, you know in which direction I would turn her, eh? 😉
Love, Jas
Congratulations on the beautiful baby girl! My guess is: October 12 at 8:53 am. Do you think she’ll pop out spouting Latin exorcisms?

October 6th, 10:30 pm. 3,1 kg.

All my best wishes to you and your baby, Ardeospina!
Congratulations on your little fangirl,
my guess October 4th 11:00 pm 8lbs 2oz
Hope your labor goes fast and smoothly.
My guess: October 12th, 2:15am
8lbs 2oz.
Best wishes for the pregnancy! =D
It’s really not long anymore… when I remember how overwhelmed with joy I felt when I heard that you were expecting… and now it’s almost here!
I hope all goes well and the hubby won’t faint during the delivery. Men are such delicate beings… 😆
Blessing and everything else! Jas
Oh, he’s not going to faint. He wants to help catch her, which the midwives at our birth center are perfectly happy letting him do, provided everything goes well. So he’s gonna help deliver our baby! Very exciting.
Hi Ardeospina,
I am so thrilled for you. Parenting is such an exciting, scary, wonderful opportunity.
My guess is October 12 at 6;10 a.m. at 7.5 lbs.
I’m glad you have midwives. I had them for both of my pregnancies too. They’re very supportive. My husband caught our youngest, and was pretty proud to be involved in the whole thing. But that is part of a very long, and very funny story to be shared another time.
I’ll be thinking of you and sending you encouraging vibes.
Best wishes to you, hubby and babe.
Pragmatic Dreamer
Congratulations!
My guess: October 12, 2011 at 2:04 a.m. 6 lb. 7 oz.
Happy birthing!
I’m gonna guess October 9th, 2:00pm 7 lbs even! Congrats on having a sweet girl!
Many congratulations Ardeospina! I guess October 10 at 10 pm 🙂
Important phrases to remember for the mother-to-be:
‘Alright, you know what? I’ll pay you money if you sit still’ and
‘If I put you down, are you going to be a man about it?’
Also, TWFB people around the world will love you forever if you name ‘it’ Bobby John (or Bobbi-Joan) and put ‘it’ to sleep with Smoke on the Water.
Oh and the weight! 8 lb. 4 oz.
Hope it all goes well xxxx
October 8th at 5:23pm weighing in at 7 pounds 8 ounces. Congratulations!
Congratulations on your upcoming new addition to your family!
My guess…October 14th at 10:59 a.m. (That’s my birthday and time…so why not?)
Weight – 8 lbs 9.5 oz.
Saw this only now, maybe I’m already late? If not, here’s my guess:
October 22nd at 10:22 pm. 4,1 kg
All the best to you Ardeospina and your baby! God bless!
