I’m always on the hunt for fun giveaways for ya’ll. So, when the guys behind WhatsInMyBelly.com, a fabulous baby pool site, reached out to me and expressed interest in a baby pool contest, I was on board right away!
If you’ve never participated in a baby pool, here are the deets: you basically guess the details of a baby’s birth, from hair color to birth time and date. It’s fun and, in this case, you can even score some moolah!
WhatsInMyBelly.com has graciously provided a $100 prize for the winner – how amazing is that!? To sweeten the deal, I’m also adding a $50 prize for second place and a $25 prize for 3rd place (paid via Paypal cash or Amazon Gift Card – winner’s choice!).
Oh, AND it’s open internationally!
How do I enter such an amazing contest, you may ask?
There are THREE ways to enter:
1. Enter directly at WhatsInMyBelly.com by clicking here and submitting a prediction (after you set up an account and verify your email address, you will be directed to the “Joined Pools” page, which should show the “Baby NoYoMoCo” pool (number 1699). Click on “View” button, and then the “Make Your Prediction Now!” button)

What a fun contest! I just entered my prediction. (I know nothing about baby stats and I think I way under-guessed the length.)
Haha – no worries, Mike! If you want to change that number and can’t (I’m not sure if you can change your own prediction through the site), let me know and I can erase your old prediction and submit a new one for you
That would be great! Thank you! Could you just modify my length prediction to be 18.2 inches?
Done! I had to delete your old prediction and submit a new one though, FYI. I used all of your previous numbers and just changed the length
