Thought I would share some news... and a contest!

[davef]

I am a quiet person in general and rarely share personal information with anyone but this community of OURS has grown and I am so happy with the respect and comradery, I just had to share the news with all of you...

As some of you know, I have been working some very late nights recently... and there is a reason (besides the fact we are swamped)

I am happy to say that there is another future loudspeaker designer on the way...

...And I found out that I will have a potential new hire just a few days ago...

I won't know for at least 12 more weeks whether this future engineer will be a boy or girl (hoping girl, but my son wants a brother which is absolutely cool with me)

My wife's ecstatic, as is my family (which has needed some good news over the past year a half as some of you well know) so all is good

Just thought I would share the news with my "extended" family

So....

Place your bets below... "Boy" or "Girl" and weight to the ounce.

Ascend baseball caps to the first 50 members who guess the sex.

A pair of CBM-170 SE to the first five members who nail the weight to the ounce.

Please, one guess only per member (you can change it as often as you wish by editing the post).

My guess (won't count of course, just for fun):

Boy, 7lbs 10 ounces

Good luck!!!

Congratulations!!!!!

I'll guess Boy.

Weight to be determined soon

I'm going to guess a girl, and I'm going to guess 7 pounds 6 ounces.

Congrats to you and to Mrs. F.

I'm actually a pediatrics resident, so I'm going to use all of my medical knowledge and prowess to be the first to tell you you're going to have a girl, 7lb 8oz.

Congrats, Big Guy. The best to your wife as well.

Boy, 8 lbs, 1 oz.

Congratulations Dave!!

OK umm... Girl, 7 pounds 12 ounces. Why not.

[ncHTsetter]

Congrats Dave!

I say girl 7lb 8oz.

Well done. As a guy who is now on my second set of newborns, this time as a very happy grandfather, I would like to wish you and your wife one of each, both of whom are happy and healthy, and have lungs worthy of being heard.

That said, I am guessing a girl at 7 pound, 8 ounces.

I'm reminded of that quote from The Incredibles:

[to Mr. Incredible]
Syndrome: Oh, no. Elastigirl? You married Elastigirl? Ho, ho, ho...
[sees the kids]
Syndrome: Oh - and got biz-zay! It's a whole family of supers! Looks like I hit the jackpot! Oh, this is just too good!

My sincere congratulations to you and your wife, Dave!

I'll put my vote in for a little lady (my vote counts), and I'll guess 6lbs 10oz. I know nothing about babies, and I can't believe everyone is guessing like 7 or 8 lbs...I was born at about 4lbs 2oz and went into the high 3's! I guess I have a skewed perspective , heh
