Is anyone doing a birth pool?
We've heard such fun guesses from people about when Guinevere might arrive, that I set up a birth pool today.
**Yadda blah blah, you should never put personal information on the internet, but I'm pretty sure I've referenced personal info in my blog, so whatever.**
Here is the link if you're curious what mine looks like!

I'd love to hear if anyone else is doing something similar!

My Blog: Decorate This
My husband's boss is doing one in this office. I think its $10 to enter the pool. The winner has to split the pot with the parents!
I hope a lot of people enter!
This! Lol
I thought the same thing! hehe.
But cute idea! Love how you set it up.
Me three. I opened the post because I was really surprised that so many people were using birthing pools. When I read the post I thought, wow I didn't think you set up the birthing pool so early, won't the water be dirty by time it's time to give birth? Then I opened the blog and scrolled through the whole thing looking for pics of the birthing pool, it took me a while to get it. Can I blame pregnancy brain for this?
Of course its okay! However, I am SO not tech savvy. Once they submit their response, it gets emailed to me, and I'm updating the responses in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, filtering the birth date guesses from oldest to newest, and then taking a screen shot, and just constantly replacing the picture of the old chart with the picture of the new chart.
There has GOT to be an easier way to do this, but I couldn't figure one out that looked as cute
Oh my shower host did something like this for us! We're team green so it included guesses on whether we're having a boy or a girl.
Ours was written on a calendar though, and only the date. Some people put time.
Yours is a lot more detailed. Looks fun!
I'm a little late on this post - but we are doing a birth pool as well.
Every year, around this time, I raise money for a local charity - AIDS Community Resources, and this year, to help raise some funds (the general giving to my fundraising page is pretty much non-existent this year), I decided to do the baby pool...
We're also using expectnet, and each person buys in for $20. $10 goes to the charity, and the other $10 will go to the winner...
