the Bingo Pool

What's a birth without some friendly wagering on the outcome? We don't know what the prize will be (or if there'll be one) for the winner, but since there's no entry fee, there shouldn't be any complaints. Yes, we should have done this sooner, but we've been busy.

Guesses are for Weight, Length, Hair Color, Eye Color and in some cases, other variables.
