UPDATE: The voting for the DATE and TIME is now closed … BUT the Free Photo Shoot is guessing the size and weight correct so that is STILL OPEN. He hasn’t been born yet but we are off to the hospital shortly. This one appears to be the real deal. END OF UPDATE. – Matt

Hey All,
Dani and I are super excited to add another child to our family. This time around this little boy is not growing inside Dani’s belly. We have a birth mom who loves him so much too. We will be adopting him and we are expecting him ANY day now. As of writing this our lovely birth mom is between 4-5 cm … fully effaced and having contractions. No water breakage though. We have had two false alarms at the hospital in the last week but nothing yet so they have sent us home. There is progress but it is slow. The due date is officially September 6th … so now the fun part. Guess the weight (lbs and oz.) of our new baby boy and the size in inches. Whoever gets closest will get a FREE one hour photo shoot at a location approved by the Still Life Team … we aren’t going to Hawaii without some fees for expenses.
So here is how it works … In the comments section below this post please submit a comment with weight and height. At the sole discretion of the Still Life Studios Team we will judge who came the closest in height and weight. Any entries that are tied will result in a sudden death match in a cage fighting arena … or maybe we will draw one out of a hat?? … the photo shoot must take place before December 1st 2009 and will be completely free. The recipient pays for prints or whatever product they desire … this is up to a $300 value so don’t say we aren’t giving you something. I will be happy to send pricing for prints, Christmas Cards, etc but I am about to have a baby so cut me a little slack. If there are any questions email us at info@stilllifestudios.com. Guess the DATE OF BIRTH AND TIME and we will throw in a small but special prize.
If you want to follow along, somewhat play by play, then become a friend on Facebook the links are above and a Fan as well by clicking here as that seems to be where the most up to date info is going.
We reserve the right to change the rules, prizes, and anything else we might need to in case of legal what for or for our own benefit. This is for fun and should people want to learn more about adoption and how wonderful it can be for families and children and the like please visit resources such as … Families Supporting Addoption. Also feel free to shoot us an email and ask about our miracle story. If you have other resources to share about adoption and what a blessing it is to choose adoption over other options then send them to me and I will add them here if appropriate.
PS – I was just asked … it’s one guess per person. So if you want your spouse to guess go right ahead … and feel free to spread the word about the contest.
