Another Giveaway
December 22, 2007
Yes, we are having another giveaway! If you are reading this from an RSS feed that has truncated this post you need to come here to read the rules before guessing. You will be guessing the date and time that Jodi will be born. You can enter up to four guesses (see the rules below). We love Vision Forum products so much that we decided we would give the winner a shopping spree there. The shopping spree starts out at $25 and will go up to $50 when 100 people enter. Tell all of your friends - we may do something crazy if we hit 200 entries! :)
This is Katie’s 5th pregnancy - here is some history for you…
Jenna: Four days early, 8:33am
June: Five days late, 12:04pm
Jillian: Two days late, around 12:55am
Jonah: Five days late, 8:38pm
Jodi: Due on 01/09/08 per LMP. Due on 01/15/08 according to the ultrasound in September.
Here are the rules:
Only 1 entry per household, but you can have up to 4 guesses on one entry (see “How To Enter” below).
All guesses need to be entered in the comments section of this post. (see “Submitting Guesses” below)
Contest closes when labor starts.Â
Please follow the directions carefully.

this is too much work for my over loaded Christmas brain right now :-P But, for fun I will guess January 12th at 1:23 am
this is the first time I have ever had troubles on your site so i thought i would mention it… the side links to your posts and your blogroll are overlapping with your posting box here… I use firefox.
December 23rd, 2007 at 8:10 am
No no no, you must do *something* to earn the entries. Kinda like buying a raffle ticket. There are four ways to enter: 1. Post a blog entry and put the banner in your entry (tell us where the entry is). 2. Post a banner in your side bar. 3. E-mail 5 or more people about the contest. 4. Become a Vision Forum affiliate.
Each one of those is like another raffle ticket to enter another guess. You can enter up to four times if you have done all 4 of the above, you see? :)

December 24th, 2007 at 3:41 pm
I was able to add the banner to my site at http://www.azmann6.com and I also emailed five friends, so that gives me two more tries. Try as I might I was unable to get it to work in my sidebar. :-( So my guesses are as follows:
I already guessed once in an earlier post.
2nd guess: 1/07/08 at 12:43 pm
3rd guess: 1/06/08 at 5:23 am
I might come back for my finale guess if I ever get the sidebar one to work. :-)
December 25th, 2007 at 8:52 am
Jeff - I DID e-mail 5 friends, It said it would track it for me… did I e-mail the wrong article? LOL… that would be my luck.
That’s no big deal… just erase that guess, if I did it wrong. My dh swears I have blond roots that instantly turn brown when they see daylight.

I tried to make the banner be a link to your blog, but couldn’t get it to work. :(
I also don’t have any idea how to put the banner on our sidebar, so for now we’re just entering once. :)

I am sorry that I am not very good at adding things to sidebars (as you can tell by my boring blog page;( I tried to copy/paste, send to folder, download, save and anything else I could think. Nothing worked for me to get that cute pink box on my blog. I did say that you were having a contest and put a link. If it’s not enough I understand. My guess is that Jodi will be arriving on January 14th at 7:35 am.
I can’t wait to see pictures.
