Exciting New Contest! Predict Baby Celery's birthday!

Well folks, according to the calendar Baby Celery could be making an appearance in about 5 weeks or so. This means that it's time to open up the voting. When do you think Baby Celery will arrive? Anyone (you certainly don't have to be related to us) is welcome to comment, and the person who is closest will get fame and glory by being mentioned on the blog.

So, after reading the vital statistics below, leave a comment with your guess for birthday (and time of day if you want), birth weight, eye color, and whether Baby Celery is a bernie puppy or a human.


Vital Statistics:

Due Date: September 2 or 9 The American due date is the 2nd, but the country where Pooh lives uses a different calculation for due dates and they came up with the 9th. Anyway, on September 2 Baby Celery will be 40 weeks and will be 41 weeks on the 9th.

Full Term: Baby Celery will be full term on August 10th.

Time of Day: Pooh was born in the morning. She is not a morning person. I have no idea at what time Dr. Celery was born.Apparently he was born at 6:30 pm.

Weight: Dr. Celery was 5 lbs 15.5 oz. Pooh was 7 lbs 4 oz. (Pooh, you were wrong about your weight. Roo and Tigger were 7 lbs 10 oz, not you. This means that the average you calculated was wrong. Can you please recalculate and send it to Tigger? ) The average is 6 pounds 9.5 oz.

Eye color: Dr. Celery has brown eyes, which are dominant. However, his mother has blue eyes and his brother had green eyes.  Pooh has green eyes, however her father has blue eyes. I, of course, have lovely dark Swiss brown eyes. And if you say that Baby Celery is really Puppy Celery, then you should know that all BMDs are brown eyed.

In case you didn't get the implications of the blue eyed relatives above, basically it means that each of the adult Celeries has a single blue eyed gene which means according  to basic Mendalian genetics that Baby Celery has a 25% chance of having blue eyes.

Happy Predicting!

WWFN,
ROSIE- BABY CELERY'S FAVORITE AUNTIE!
