Earliest Birth Date/Time: Feb 26th, 0412 Latest Birth Date/Time: Mar 13th, 2020 Average Birth Date/Time: Mar 4th, 15:44:43 (based on dates AND times) Average Birth DATE: Mar 4th (based ONLY on dates) Average TIME OF DAY: 11:10:26 (based ONLY on times) "Official" Due Date: Mar 7th ACTUAL Birth Date/Time: Mar 6th, 16:57 (Myke Komarnitsky is winner) Lowest Birth Weight: 5 Pounds, 6 Ounces Highest Birth Weight: 8 Pounds, 2 Ounces Average Birth Weight: 6 Pounds, 10 Ounces ACTUAL Birth Weight: 5 pounds, 15 Ounces (Gail Rust NAILS it!)Note: The Email announcement went out at 2144 to 135 people on the Kyle Birth Announcement List. So I had this out (and pictures available on the web) in just under 5 hours ... trust me, that's not easy! Ironically, this is almost identical to the time it took me for Dirk; his birth was as 2025 and the first note went out at 0108.
We received a total of 65 responses; fortunately, none complained that it was spam Email! ;-) Ursula Scarano was the first to reply - in THREE minutes - WOW! 45 folks responded in the first 24 hours ... and it really was nice to read these to Wendy (between her naps) as people wrote in with congrats - thanx again for writing. I CAN recommend this semi-impersonal approach to other future Dads out there - sleep is really at a premium, so when I wasn't online, we disconnected the phone; yet, it was great to let people know and then hear your thoughts/words.
Recall that there was a $10 "booby" prize for the person who was the tenth person to respond to the Email. My Mother (one of the FEW people who actually DID get a phone call earlier about the birth! ;-) asked in her response at 2310 if she was the tenth - she was actually #9 ... so I emailed her back a few hours later saying she JUST missed. So my Father Emails first thing in the morning if he is #10 ... unfortunately, he was #26 by then.
Wendy had complained that this contest put the East Coast people at a disadvantage - not so it turned out ... as my Aunt Gail Emailed me at 0511 (MST) the next morning ... so she not only NAILED the weight (see results below), but she also won this "booby" prize.
