Thanks to everyone who participated in the Baby Facts Quiz! We have a winner, as well as a cheater, who will prosper after all.
Tied with 5 points each are Rebecca Strong and Mattine Hartzell. It says great things about Rebecca that 1) she has that awesome name, and 2) she knows as much about Mattine as a baby as Mattine herself knows. Rebecca, use the email link at the right or the Facebook page to send me your address, and I'll mail you your $5 Starbucks gift card. Mattine, I'll buy you some non-caffeinated, non-alcoholic, sushi-free beverage next time I see you.
Anyone who didn't get a chance to participate, if you can beat 5 correct answers, I'll send you a home-made drawing of a cup of coffee or a felt turtle. Your choice.
If any other participants want to know their score, you can email the blog, or comment on this post.
Coming later this week: NATHAN Baby Facts Quiz!

Second Sonogram
Guess what! Baby X and Baby 242.8 are now nearly 13 weeks old, which means it's time to take their pictures again! How many sonograms are there going to be, you may ask. Well you may ask Google, because I don't know.
For some reason, Mattine and her doctor and the technician that holds the laser that shoots into her belly to take the picture chose to refer to the babies as "Baby A" and "Baby B," rather than the cute pre-names I had picked out, but to each his own.
Here are your future stars:
According to our inside source, Baby A is a wiggler, and Baby B is the "shy, retiring type." This might be your last sonogram evidence to help you vote in the Baby Gender Poll, so get to it.
Also, I'm keeping the Starbucks card for myself if more people don't test their Baby Mattine Knowledge, and I don't even drink coffee. I'll just buy coffee and pour it out, right in front of you.

Baby Mattine Facts
Welcome back to the virtual baby shower and get psyched for a new game! GET PSYCHED, I SAY!!
Okay, you seem sufficiently psyched. You may now compete in the Baby Mattine Quiz! We asked Carolyn and Milan Schmidt to tell us a little about what Mattine was like as an embryo and early human, quantified their responses, and created the below quiz so that you can compete for who is the best at knowing things about Mattine!
Your responses will be carefully scored, and the person with the best score (excluding genetic relations) will win a $5 Starbucks gift card. Cheating (e.g., asking Mattine, Carolyn or Milan the answers) is discouraged, not because it would give you an advantage, but because that is really pathetic and sad. Buy your own coffee, weirdo.
Let the game begin!
