Rory has finally tabulated the results, and the guess of 20th Sept at 9am is the closest guess as to when she was born.

David Shields, currently residing in Indonesia was within 8 hours 59 minutes of being exactly right.

The runners up were:
Lin Padgham, off by 11 1/2 hours
Rob Thompson, off by 16 hours
Jeff Minuk, off by 21 hours.

A special prize goes to Winnie for coming so close in guessing her birth weight (6 lbs, 7 oz, with Winnie guessing 6 lbs, 3 oz)

So, DAVID your prize package includes:
1) A jar of homemade spicy plum jam, taken from fruit that falls in our yard from our neighbor's tree.
2) A photograph of Rory. You can choose either a family shot (with mom and dad), a cute single shot, or a shot where she has spit-up.
3) One of the remaining two puzzles* that Colleen completed during the pregnancy. You can view the puzzles here:

We will either ship the puzzle to you disassembled *or* send it to you shellacked and ready to hang.

*The panda is going to hang in the nursery.

LIN, your prize, for being so close...
You can get the other puzzle that David does not choose, and a photo, as per #2

ROB, your prize, for being third....
You can get a photo as per #2

JEFF, your prize, for being 4th, and living in Vancouver....

WINNIE, your special prize is a photo, too, as per #2

this was just as rigged as those phonie pictures below where all you did to show her growing was take the photo from a few inches closer each week. Yeah, she's bigger and how do you explain the seat she's in growing???? Explain THAT to me ;)

I'm honored to accept this prize. I don't understand why Rory wasn't more exact with her arrival time (as we did have a prior agreement), but am pleased with her and Colleen's efforts. Congratulations!
I would love the family shot, and have already expressed my preference for the giraffe jig-saw. I think I sense, in this picture, the bliss and tranquility Colleen enjoyed while putting it together (as opposed to the crying and dribbling you would be enjoying now - though Peter says he has stopped doing this now ;-)).
Once again, congrats! Tambah cantik anaknya! Selamat!
