Wow, I haven't posted since Friday. How did that happen? Oh, yes! I remember now. Since Friday we've either been cleaning for the birthday party we hosted for Mike on Saturday night or were cleaning up after the party (it's so easy to forget how messy drunks can get when you haven't been one in months) or were taking naps to recover from all the drunkenness (Mike) and all the M&M inhaling (me). With all that cleaning and recovering, you may think I forgot about the random giveaway I posted about last week, but I can multi-task, my friends! We have a winner!
(Number picked by Mike, who was not paid by any reader [that I know of] to rig the contest.)
Merry Mishaps, I will e-mail you by Friday with your Amazon gift card!
Now before I share drunk pictures of my husband with you (because what's the point of HAVING drunk pictures of my husband if I can't share them), there's one more giveaway going on this week. See, we find out the sex of the baby this Friday (MERE DAYS AWAY, OMG). A few weeks ago, I asked what everyone thought the baby was going to be and the majority response was girl. (The baby seriously just kicked right as I typed that. Was that a "I am not a girl, there is an impressive penis right here!" or a "Yes, totally a girl. And a cute one at that." kick?) There were 32 girl votes and 19 boy votes. I'll whip up those percentages just as soon as I morph into someone who can do that sort of thing.
If you didn't comment on that last post and want to guess what we're having, please go ahead and comment. Comment again if you already have! (Maybe your vote has changed?) Everyone who guesses correctly will be up for a prize, a mystery custom-picked prize that will be fantastic, I promise!
Now, here's the father of my child. Let the jealously ooze:
And here he is looking much more adorable but just as drunk, I assure you:
And here's Molly, who, seriously, had more beer at the party than her mother:
(She's in her only child shirt because she's totally in denial.)
And a sweet, drunken kiss captured by another drunk party goer who loved using our fancy camera (but who was subjected to the sober pregnant lady constantly screeching, "PUT THAT CAMERA STRAP AROUND YOUR NECK. IF YOU BREAK THAT, YOU TOTALLY BUY IT."):
And, finally, as I cleaned the inside of the house all day Saturday, Mike spent FOUR CONSECUTIVE HOURS getting the front of our house Halloween ready. He even bought a bag of dirt for the fake grave site you see below. You may not get a very impressive college fund, baby, but you're going to get to do holidays up right:
Now, what are we going to have, Internet? Boy or girl?











I'm going to guess...Girl!

Still a boy. No question.
Posted by: Stephanie | Tuesday, October 07, 2008 at 11:06 PM
I'm going to say. . . .boy. Because every person I know who is pregnant is having a boy.
Posted by: Janssen | Tuesday, October 07, 2008 at 11:10 PM
I'm going with boy. I have two friends that had babies THIS WEEK, and they were both girls, so I figure that a boy must be coming soon. =)
Posted by: Marie Green | Tuesday, October 07, 2008 at 11:18 PM
Boy, of course.
(But either way I just know this kid will be amazingly fantastic.)
And I forgot to tell Mike that I liked his dirt. Pass that along, will ya?
Posted by: Kristie | Tuesday, October 07, 2008 at 11:21 PM
Oh...I'm on the fence. Hmmm, I'm going to guess boy no wait girl. Girl.
Posted by: Dianna | Tuesday, October 07, 2008 at 11:28 PM
BOY! I said that before, but I'll say it again - BOY BOY BOY!
Posted by: Kate | Tuesday, October 07, 2008 at 11:30 PM
I suck at the guessing. Are you going to find out and tell us already?
:)
Posted by: Angella | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 12:15 AM
Ahh, gotta love drunken parties! :)
My vote is for a boy. All of my friends who have had babies recently, or are currently pregnant are all having girls, so it's time for a boy to make his entrance into the world!
Posted by: Sharon | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 12:20 AM
I vote for boy, don't ask why cause I have no idea.
Posted by: Connie | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 01:10 AM
I'm sticking with my gut--it's totally a little dude!
Posted by: Camels & Chocolate | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 03:23 AM
I say a boy...just a feeling!
Posted by: Kim | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 07:42 AM
I say girl. :)
Could you please have your husband have a talk with MY husband about the importance of holiday decorating!?!? I had to do it all myself. I really don't think he understands the plans I have for our yard at Christmastime, especially since we are in the south now and don't have to worry about snow ruining anything!
Posted by: Jen L. | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 07:45 AM
Girl! I say girl!
Posted by: Bethany | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 08:38 AM
I'm going to say boy! I have a great name that we are going to use for our little guy in January & since you live in Texas & I live in Missouri & I know they won't be in the same kindergarten class, it's yours if you want it! It'll be a little secret until you find out.....more of a build-up that way.
Posted by: Laurie | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 08:58 AM
Friday! Woot! So exciting!
I'm sticking with boy :)
I'm a big fan of Drunk Mike!
Posted by: Jen | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 08:59 AM
While I usually defer to the personal opinion of the person carrying said baby, I have to admit, I think it's a girl.
Posted by: TUWABVB | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 09:03 AM
I (still) think Boy!
Looks like a really fun weekend and that grave is awesome.
Good luck Friday, I hope you two take what ever is left of the workday off. I was WORTHLESS the day we found out and my apt was at 8am, so you know, all day! ha.
Posted by: Christina | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 09:22 AM
I'm still going with GIRL! :)
Posted by: Cheri DeLurker | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 09:50 AM
I'm going with GIRL :)
Posted by: Kate | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 10:03 AM
Totally a girl.
Posted by: Someone Being Me | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 10:06 AM
I love the photo of you and Mike smooching. So lovely! And I still think it's a boy!
Posted by: Nicole | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 10:15 AM
You guys are so cute! And I love Molly's t-shirt.
I still think you're having a girl.
Posted by: Pickles & Dimes | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 10:41 AM
Totally still a girl!
Posted by: Sensibly Sassy | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 10:54 AM
I think it's going to be a girl! I'm due in April and I want a girl so I might be a little biased :)
Posted by: Theresa | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 11:04 AM
Im gonna guess boy... only because there are 5 people I know that are pregnant and are all having boys!!
Posted by: Sabrina | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 11:41 AM
Girl! And, she's going to marry one of Cherie's boys!
Posted by: Rhi | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 11:41 AM
BOY BOY BOY BOY OH BOY.
Posted by: barbetti | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 11:59 AM
I think girl, but then I always think people are going to have girls and apparently, some people do not.
Posted by: Beth Fish | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 12:55 PM
I hope you have a boy, because my son is totally laid back and wonderful and my daughter is a stress-filled drama queen (but I love her, of course!). Also, that grave site is AWESOME!!!
Posted by: Shelly | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 01:19 PM
Hmm, I think I still say girl. Yes. Girl for sure!
Posted by: nonsoccermom | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 01:48 PM
OMG, I never win anything! Thanks! I'll do you right and buy myself something pretty. Possibly shoes.
I believe I already guessed girl so I'm gonna stick with that :)
Posted by: merrymishaps | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 01:55 PM
GIRL!! I am voting girl because I just had one a week ago [omg it's been a week already :( ] and EVERYONE seems to be having girls lately. When I had my son EVERYONE was having boys. So. Girl.
Posted by: Rebecca | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 02:14 PM
It's going to be a boy. Or a girl. No, it's a boy. Definitely a boy.
Posted by: jean | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 02:19 PM
I still say girl!
Posted by: Kerri Anne | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 03:12 PM
I'm guessing boy. :)
Posted by: Zoo | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 04:56 PM
Girl. Or maybe two?
Posted by: Pam | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 06:56 PM
I have no idea what I guessed, or if I guessed the first time around. But I'm going to say boy.
Posted by: Kristabella | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 07:08 PM
Still going with girl.
Now I'm going to go sulk that you get to find out the gender a whole 11 days before I get to find out the gender of my baby, though you're only due a whopping 2 days before I am. Then I'm going to tell myself to grow up and then I'm going to be really, REALLY excited for you.
Posted by: Miranda | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 07:39 PM
I'm really bad at guessing the gender, but I'm thinking Girl, no Boy, yes, Girl. Girl.
Good luck with the big ultrasound!
Posted by: Amy | Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at 08:39 PM
I still think it's a girl. It just has to be, because otherwise you're going to cry every time you have to bypass all the cute purple baby clothes.
Posted by: Jess | Thursday, October 09, 2008 at 01:26 PM
I still think it is a girl. But, I'm thinking boyish thoughts for you.
Here is the percentages for you: 63% think it will be a girl. 37% think it will be a boy!
Posted by: natalie | Thursday, October 09, 2008 at 02:40 PM
Girl. Only because girls are cooler due to the variety of clothing and accessories.
Posted by: Marie | Thursday, October 09, 2008 at 04:38 PM
Awwww! Sorry I didn't stay long enough to see everyone drunk! At least you don't have drunk pictures of me. Whew!
Posted by: Danielle-lee | Friday, October 10, 2008 at 05:13 PM
I love Molly! She is the sweetest girl ever!
Posted by: Danielle-lee | Friday, October 10, 2008 at 05:16 PM
If I posted drunk pictures of my husband he might just divorce me. lol. Y'all will just have to imagine his drunken 'emu dance of love'.
