As many of you know, my wife, Cristina, is pregnant with our son, Javier. His due date is October 6, 2009. As he is our second child, many people think he will come a little earlier than that.
Cristina's mother and aunt had a little bet going. I can tell you that her aunt already lost because she picked Sept 15. But why let them have all the fun?
Announcing the #BWBABY contest
Do you want to try your hand at telling the future and winning a prize?
HERE IS HOW:
1) Take your best guess at the date and time Javier will be born.
2) Enter a comment below with "I think #BWBABY will be born at TIME on DATE." Or if you would like to offer words of encouragement and/or color commentary on the contest, you can do that on the comments below.
3) If you use Twitter, also tweet " I think #BWBABY will be born at TIME on DATE."
4) You can enter as many times as you want. Really, go nuts.
5) There will be TWO prizes provided by Intensity Academy hot sauce.
6) Whoever guesses closest, but no before the birthday wins an Intensity Academy bottle of hot sauce of their choosing.
7) Whoever enters the funniest/wittiest/most humorous guess will also win an Intensity Academy bottle of their choosing.
8) Winners will be announced on Twitter and this page.
9) Winners must pick up their Prizes at Bright Eyes family Vision care.
So those are the rules. They are subject to change. The contest could be over tomorrow morning if Javier is ready. or is could be over October 15th, if he is lazy about the whole thing. No one will know until it is time ;)
So let's get those guesses in!!
And let me just dispel the rumor now, we are not naming the baby "Twitter", although Michele Northrup thinks is it brilliant. The baby's name is Javier. Twitter is just his nickname.
Have fun!

I really like the name Javier.
I vote for October 12. That's MY birthday. Of course if he is born on that date, you must name him after me. Sort of like a boy named Sue….. builds character.
I think #BWBaby will be born on my son's birthday, October 17th. Lke most optcommers (and like my son), he'll be stubborn and therefore come late. He will hate technology and never use twitter!! But he will be dearly loved regardless…..
Javier (aka:#BWBaby) will be born Oct 15th at 11am. This time and date will coincide with Nathan in is office with a FULL patient schedule (his busiest day EVER!), a few emergencies, the local newspaper calling him needing a story on Ortho-K. And on top of all that, he'll have 6 walk-ins that morning wanting to do Ortho-K eval (and they're ready to pay if they are).
But wait. Nathan gets a phone call. It's the baby!…………….
Sing, That is hilarious. You described my typical Tuesday through Friday. 🙂
I think #BWBABY will be born at 4:30PM on 10/2 because it's far enough from Halloween and because it will be just in time for supper.
Also, I have two children of my own and the FIRST thing I wanted to do, after holding my children, was to eat everything in sight. (Luckily, they let me wear my glasses, otherwise nothing would have been in sight.)
Wow– seems like I was just there hanging out with you, Cristina and Nora and now the baby is almost here. I think he will be born at 4:30 am on Sunday, October 4 because that's your family day for going to the park. Let's hope the birth is just a walk in the park or more likely a ride down the slide.
Love to you all!
Aunt Billie
Maybe Javier will grace us with his presence on 10/6 or 9/21 at around 12:37 p.m.
Congrats Doc & Cristina!!!!!
Blessings!!!!!!
What fun…
I think #BWBABY will born on Sept 28th at 6:20 pm.
I dont do hot…so on the remote chance Javier joins the world around then….donate the sauce to the cause of your choice…
My birthday is 10/23. My brother's is 10/15. The cool kids have October birthdays.
Thanks JLW!
I am sure that I can find a suitable cause! Thanks!
I think he will be born on October 3rd at 5 am in the morning:) Amy and Sarah
I think Javier will be born on Oct 15th at 5:45 am, I am sure Cristina is hoping it is MUCH sooner than that date!
Cannot resist the chance to win a prize…
Javier will be born on Wednesday, September 30th at 10:15pm.
Congratulations to your family!

Congrats Nate and Cristina!
I hope for a very happy and healthy baby for you two. My guess on the date will be on October 4th, 2009 at 10:40 in the moring. He'll be a 10-4 Good Buddy Baby with bright eyes and environmentally conscience and Orange and Blue Loving Parents. Peace to you both.
“I think #BWBABY will be born at 9 a.m. on Oct. 5.” Why? Because that's the exact same time I'm scheduled to have knee surgery. Something good needs to happen to balance the cosmos.
I think #BWBABY will be born at 2:07 pmon 10/5/09
