Elise's room is pretty much ready to go, with all the essentials in place. Andy has done a great job over the last few weeks doing lots of laundry and organizing things in preparation for our baby's first trip home. We have said a number of times lately that we are ready to go, and all we need now is a baby!
We had a doctor appointment yesterday, and have another one in a week. As we were leaving yesterday, we said "ok, see you in a week". To which the doctor said "or tomorrow...she could decide to come any time now." Yikes!!
So.....with all that said, its time for all of you to get the competitive juices flowing and start thinking about your guesses as to when we will get to meet Baby Elise! We have set up an online game (see link below), where you can go to enter your guesses (birthday, length, weight), or you can just post a comment to this blog post. We are all pretty confident that she's a girl, but hey, if you are feeling daring and want to try and outfox the competition to earn some extra points, I suppose you are free to guess that she's actually gonna be a "he" :) Please note, however, that if you go this route, you will send Andy and I into a nervous fit which may take years to recover from, so choose carefully! :)
Wanna know what you're playing for? Cause really, what would a good game be without prizes!! The winner of this awesome game will receive a) bragging rights throughout the entire world, b) a $25 gift certificate to the ice cream joint of your choice, and c) the first invitation to view a special, private on-line photo album where we will post the first pictures of Elise! Worth playing for?
Okie dokie, let the games begin! Good luck to all! Especially us!! :)

Ohhhhh. It's ON!!!
I am going to need some information first:
1)Pre-pregnancy weight of Andy
2)Current weight of Tim
3)Average calories comsumed each day, from date of conception by both Tim and Andy.
4)Average rest and walking around heart-rate.
5)Previous family birth weights and lengths.
I think once I have this information I will be able to provide you with an accurate date and size:)
I ROCKED THIS... I CAN TASTE THE COLDSTONE!!!!!!
In true triathlon style, a contest with a winner a prizes. I friggin' love it!
Ok, got my guess in. I have ZERO ability to guess baby stats, so I guessed "super-sized" and that ought to guarantee you a petite but healthy baby girl. You can thank me later.
Just thought I'd start my braggin' rights now for the big win!!
Congrats to the Swansons! Elise is precious!
