Game Time: The Big One

This is the one we've all been waiting for.  

This shower is drawing to a close at the end of this week, 
but not before we guess when 

Baby Girls Vargas will make their debut!

Post a comment down below, and be sure to include: 

The date and a weight for each girl.  

And for a tie-breaker, guess the length, too.  Don't forget your name!

FYI, Jenny's official due date was May 13, 2013, but I believe the new date she and her doctor are shooting for is April 29 (38 weeks).

The winner gets....bragging rights :)

Game Time: Attendance

Okay, this one's not really a game.  But we want to see who is celebrating along with us.  

Send a picture of yourself to our blog administrator, Katie at stickgrl@hotmail.com.  

It can be any picture you like, just make sure we 

can see your smiling face :)

We will compile a "group shot" so Jenny can see everyone who participated in the shower.  

Even if you've just been a passive reader up to this point - send a picture anyway!

Game Time: Daddy Knows Best...Answers!!

And the WINNERS are.....the Great Grandmas!!  Grandma Henkes and Grandma Great (Strutt) each guessed correctly: Jenny had FIVE correct answers.  Reminder of the game - Aaron answered the questions...and then Jenny had to guess how she thought Aaron would answer (not necessarily what she thought the answer should be).  She guessed his response correctly FIVE times out of twelve - pretty impressive!  Here's how the mother- and father-to-be answered (Aaron's answers in blue, Jenny's in pink).

1. How many diapers does a baby need each day? 

5, 5 <

2. How many diapers do you plan to change each day? 

2, 1

3. How many hours does a baby sleep each day on average? 

4, 10

4. At what age does a baby start sleeping through the night? 

12 months, 1 year <

5. At what age does a child stop needing naps? 

Never!, 2 years

6. At what age does a baby start eating solid food? 

14 months, 1 year

7. Do you think your babies will be born with no hair, a full head of hair or in between? 

Hair - lots of it!, Full heads of hair <

8. How many kids do you want to have? 

More than 2 but less than 4!, 3 <

9. Who'll be the firm parent, and who'll be the pushover? 

I will be firm, Jenny will be the pushover, I think he thinks I (jenny) will be the pushover and he will be the firm parent. <

10. From 1-10 (10 being the most prepared) how prepared do you feel for the babies' arrival?  

8, 2

11. How old will your babies be when you take them to their first Cowboys game?  

When we get tickets as a gift - they are too expensive, 10 years old

12. What baby item have you registered for that you have no idea what it is for?  

Boppy, breast pads

Thanks, everyone, for playing :)

Game Time: Daddy Knows Best

Today's game gets Aaron involved.  In this game, called "Daddy Knows Best," we have asked Aaron a series of questions to test his baby knowledge.  Later we will reveal his answer to the questions.  Your job, however, is to guess how many times you think Jenny was able to correctly guess how Aaron answered the questions.

To participate in the game, respond in the comments with the following: "I think Jenny guessed Aaron's answer correctly _____ times.  (Your name here)"

Game Time: The Name Game

Okay, folks - it's game time.  Mondays during this shower will be game day.  Each Monday we will try to post a shower game to celebrate Jenny and Aaron's girls.  Today's game is The Name Game.  Many people spend countless hours coming up with just the right name for their child.  After all, a name sticks with you for your whole life.  Twins can be extra daunting, because you want the names to go together.  Let's give Jenny and Aaron a little help.

Using just the letters in Jenny and Aaron's first and middle names, create a pair of names (you only need to do first names), and share them in the comments below - and be sure to include your name and your relationship to the girls.  Let's get creative...and maybe we'll give Jenny and Aaron some ideas.  Remember, you can use only the letters in Jenny and Aaron's names.  And you have to come up with TWO names :)

A - R - T - H - U - R     A - A - R - O - N  

J - E - N - N - I - F - E - R     L - Y - N - N
