Boy? Or Girl? We tell…

UPDATE: I’ve unprotected the post so the world can see it.

Jenna and I had the big ultrasound appointment today, and now we have the results. Thanks to all that participated in our vote, it was a lot of fun for us! We actually had the polls going on in two different places. The first was here and the second was on a local Mamas forum that Jenna regularly reads and posts on.

Anyway, the ladies on the forums really threw the vote in one direction… towards the girl result. The total between the two was 65% for girl, and 35% for boy. See figure 1, the beautiful pie chart: ooooh, ahhhh!

65% vote total for Girl, 35% for Boy

So who was right? Drumroll please! Wait, not just yet… let’s do the “funny” item I referred to in my previous post. We had some funny commentary come along with the votes, and I wanted to share a few of them.

“I say a boy because you are carrying like me - and that’s what I think ours is.  No other reason.”
- Erin J
(Erin and Gregg found out two days ago that they are having a girl… hmmm…)

“Girl - Kevin and Colby are enough man for one house.”
- Kyle G.

“The new child in Jenna’s womb is a boy.”
- Thomas S.

“I have mathematically determined the sex of your child!! This was done through multiple tests of the theory of probability. The majority of the time the result was GIRL!!!”
- Clay S.
(Clay then proceeded to go into a long mathematical explanation. I’ll spare you.)

You guys are pretty funny. Lets reveal who got it right in the KevinAndJenna blog vote. These people voted correctly:

  • Suzy J.
  • Ashley S.
  • Tiffany R.
  • Shala S.
  • Grandmom (Kevin’s mom)
  • Chris H.
  • Kyle G.
  • Clay S.
  • Granddad (Kevin’s dad)
  • Rachel S.
  • Doug S.

Can you tell I am dragging this out? Well for all you smarties that looked back at the quotes above and compared them to this list, I’m sure you figured out we’re having a Girl! Everything with her looks great and she was a very wiggly girl. She’s estimated to weigh about 11 ounces right now and the due date is now November 17th (as opposed to the 19th). We told Colby and Kennedy this evening, here’s the video:

And finally here are some pictures. As I said in the previous post, we were pretty disappointed that we didn’t get to do the video of the ultrasound this time. The technician did print out a lot of pictures, but most of them weren’t that interesting. Click on them to enlarge:

^ Screen measuring the hearbeat ^

^ And finally, the “proof” that we are having a girl. ^

Thanks again to everyone for playing, we had fun with this.

Last chance to get your vote in!

Well today is the day of the big reveal. Thanks to everyone who has participated in our vote so far, it is turning out to be an interesting contest. I’m going to say that the voting polls will be closed at 2pm today, so if you haven’t voted already, click here to find out how to get your vote in now are officially closed!

Just to entice you a little bit, here a few things that we are planning for those that participate in the vote (no matter if you guess correctly or not):

  • Access to a secret post sometime this evening revealing the sex of the new baby
  • Video of the sonogram showing the baby and the “proof” of the findings
    UPDATE: They’ve stopped doing the VCR recordings of the sonograms… so sorry, no sonogram video. But there will be pictures.
  • Video of us telling Colby and Kennedy that they will have a new baby brother or sister
  • UPDATE: Full poll results with graphs (insert “oooooh, ahhhhh”)
  • UPDATE: Something else kinda funny, but can’t reveal at this point
  • Anything else cool that I can think of between now and tonight…

Remember, those who vote will get all of these things (at least) a full 24 hours before the rest of the world. And its free… What a deal!

Ok folks, that’s all!

UPDATE: Polls officially closed. The votes are being tallied and the winning answer has been discovered. All voters will receive an email tonight with details of how to view the secret post. Thanks for playing!
