Ha! Toni, not only do you want to win the contest, but — with your guess down to the hundreths of a second — you might just win the prize for false precision, too. :)

Thanks for posting despite your usual practices (for which I don’t blame you). I must confess the contest is partly an attempt to draw out some of the wallflowers. :) And I’m certainly glad we got your comment for the competition’s sake, not because we irked you to distraction.

Frankly, I had forgotten your Lucia’s name. I hope she likes it (and that ours will, too). And hmm, lemme think: any chance you pronounce it Italian-style as we do? :)

(Sorry for all the smileys. I guess I’ve just got a sleep-deprivation buzz going.)

Jon,

I’ve been observing your new arrival from afar and Congratulations on the birth of Lucy! (As you may recall, my oldest is also named Lucia and we call her Lucy too, so I like your choice of names very much!)

Actually, I almost never post on people’s websites unless they’ve raised my ire to the point where I have no choice but to post or unless they’ve tapped into my ultra-competitive side (and hence the reason for my post).

My guess is 14 days, 10 hours, 12 minutes and 17.25 seconds.

Thanks!

Well let’s see… Benjamin pulled his off at 6 days old, but since she’s nearing that, I’ll give her a few more days: 9 days, 2 hours, 17 minutes and 10 seconds after birth.
