Place your bets

Alright, I was going to wait until after my doctor's appointment on Thursday to post the contest, but after the night I had last night (early labor contractions for a while in the middle of the night) combined with the fact that I lost my mucus plug today, I figure maybe I should post it now.

So...how about a guess the date/time contest for when I'll go into labor?
The prize? A $20 gift card to Chipotle, my favorite pregnancy craving. (Unless you live out of country, in which case I'll think of something else)
The important details: Katie is due officially on Nov. 24. Gaby was due Nov. 22, and was born Nov. 18. I've been contracting off and on for the past few months, but nothing productive to this point. I'm still swollen, although not as swollen as I was earlier in the week. And she's still in my very bruised ribcage.

Leave your best guess in the comments. I'll compile a list, and post it later this week. And then we'll see. Guesses are due by noon on Oct. 30. (Oh, and Becky, Angie, Gwen and Ernie are allowed to play, by virtue of the fact that none of them are actually going to induce me to go into labor.)

Since the guesses seem to get progressively earlier and earlier, I'm going to choose November 4th, Election Day.

And I hate Chipotle, so if I win, you can keep the gift card for some "exhausted post-partum mama" take-out for yourself. :-)

I'm voting for 11/23. It's a GREAT day!! :) Plus, it's a Sunday and you'll be home in time for REAL Thanksgiving food. Not the yucky hospital food. :)

I'm gonna say November 5th, after you find out Obama/Biden have won of course. :)
