Long-time RyeBlog readers have long been aware that my wife is pregnant. and have even seen ultrasounds of our soon-to-be-blogging son…
Now it is time for the general readership of RyeBlog to guess when he will be born. The person who guesses closest (yes, even if you “go over”… there is no Bob Barker here to regulate on you) will win bragging rights. Another possible perk of winning is that, should you ever decide to become a professional psychic, I would offer myself as a reference for you. (But you already knew that, didn’t you… since after all, you are psychic)
Post your guesses in the comments. Please give a time of birth also… this time will be used as a tie-breaker. Since the child will be living with a birth day instead of a birth time, we will judge the guesses based on two criteria:
- Who guesses the closest to the correct day - regardless of time.
- If there are multiple guesses of the same day - whoever guessed the closest time will win.
So now, get out your crysal balls and start guessing! Oh - and if it helps your crystal ball make predictions… the “due date” is June 13th.

I think June 6 at 6pm. I don’t really have a reason except that I’d like to go a little early, and that’s a week early.

June 16th, 10:27PM B/c he’ll start to come but then change his mind and wait a few days.

I’m thinking May 30 at 2 pm.

I’m going with June 1 at noon.
Aubrey, is that a message about how the baby is going to be - picking his birthday to be 6/6/06 at 6 pm? Hmmmm.

June 16 3:27 pm, because that’s what I see in my head

If you are lucky you will have the baby on June 12th at 7:06am that is when I had my second son 18yrs ago
good luck and short easy labor

I’m going to guess May 27th at 2:00 PM, but I don’t think I’m eligible for the prize.
May 22nd, 2006 at 7:25 pm
June 8th, my birthday. I’ll go with noon.

Whoa…I didn’t even think about my prediction like that. Nicole is pretty sharp. So maybe I should change my prediction. I’ll say June 5th at 10 am instead. (Then he could share a birthday with my brother, Andrew.)

June 2 — 2am (no son of Ryans will let his mother rest) Ryan was born in the morning — after a l o n g night.
