and the winner is...

So, this is how I spent my New Year's Eve...I cleaned out my baby's closet--reorganized her clothes, made a box of stuff for yard sale & one for give away (I know, it starts already!!), & rehung her clothes with the new hangers I bought that came by Fed-Ex today (I bought ones with the clippies for pants/skirts...hey, it's the little things in life!).
While I was in my cleaning mode (this would be impulse cleaning, Andrea...I originally just planned on rehanging the clothes), I found the guess sheets that many of you filled out at my family/friends baby shower. You know the ones...where you had to guess the date, weight, length, etc., of my baby. WHAT A HOOT! I've been looking through them and thought you might be interested to know who was close. Nobody, of course, got it all right, so I decided (since it's New Year's Eve and I have nothing better to do) that I'd piece them apart for you and tell you who got close with what...hope your name's there...good luck!!

Andrea...who knew all along that it was a girl!

I'm not going to do hair and eyes because we had sooo many that were right...those are pretty general anyways. No one guessed she'd be named Natalee...probably because we didn't have a girl name picked out (I wasn't really expecting a little lady, but man do I love her!).

Good job, winners...your prize is a cyberhug from Miss Natalee!!
