***Dolce's Sweetest Blog Giveaway Contest***

For the first time ever I am going to host a blogger giveaway contest:


Dolce's Sweetest Blog Giveaway
So, if you've read my blog before, you know I'm having a baby...Soon. Because we are all anxiously waiting for the lil' cupcake to arrive (okay, I know it's just me) the contest is about the little of 3 Ps. (pee, puke, & poop). Today is the expected due date. Considering that I am writing this blog pretty much means I'm not in labor.

Here's how the contest is going to go:

In the comments guess what day the little guy arrives, how much you think he's going to weight, and how long he'll be. The lucky winners will receive one of the following:

Dolce t-shirt (fitted for the girls) - Has the Dolce blog banner on the front and cupcake on the back.



Dolce Tote bag - Organic cotton with cupcake on the front (men, I'll put a skull and cross bones on it for you!) It will look like this:



$30 Gift certificate to Amazon

There will be 4 winners!

How does that work?

Well, there will be a prize for each person who guesses the correct date of birth, weight, and length. BUT, there will be a grand prize giveaway at the end of the contest to everyone who enters. As long as you submit your guesses you will be entered into the drawing (to be selected at random by PH) to win this:



To make the playing field even, here are some helpful hints:

I'm having a boy
His original due date is today. I am not currently in labor but it could happen.
I'm having a natural childbirth
According to all the tests he's healthy
Dilated 1cm no effacement

Good luck!!!

He will be born soon.
He will be REALLY cute and will grow up to be handsome and smart and popular.
Mama will be drinking to celebrate in the hospital.

Do I win? I want a tote with a cupcake and skull and crossbones. K thanks.

Jared said...

july 13

8 lbs 2 oz
19 1/2 inches

PS. If you haven't already, have your doctor strip your membranes...it hurts like hell but it will help you dilate. After you get this done or any other time too have lots of sex, stimulate the nipples (those two could go together) go on walks/runs swing on the swings and or jump on a trampoline...you could also drink castor oil. They say it will give you diahrea, but two of my friends have done it to induce labor and it worked within hours and neither had any diahrea. And that's all my advice. I'm sure you could find other good stuff on google!

Jen R. said...

That was actually me, not jared. accidently signed in as him

So.
