The baby is due December 15th, but only the Lord above knows its' exact arrival day & time, and if it's a boy or a girl. (and the sonogram tech who has long since forgotten). To make things interesting, and to win a prize of $25 (twenty-five dollars) in CASH, just in time for Christmas spending, place a wager in the "Baby Sanderson Sweepstakes Pool" by entering your guess on the following information in a 'comment' to this post:
Gender: (Faith or Lincoln)
Birth date:
Weight:
Time of arrival: (for example, 12:37 pm, in case of a tie)
This pool is a little different than your basic Superbowl office pool. You pay nothing to enter, but we ask that you PRAY daily for Jaime & little Lincoln/Faith as the birth-day draws near.
Thanks for playing, and thanks also for PRAYing for Jaime & the baby during this last month. We'll announce the winner in mid-December...or sooner? or later?
Stay tuned.

I can't wait!!! Whatever the gender I know you'll think it's the cutest thing you've ever laid eyes on! If it's Lincoln I've got first dibs on hooking he and Nora up.
Love you!!

Gender: (No doubt) Faith
Birth date: December 11
Weight: 7 pounds 2 ounces
Time of arrival: 11:40 PM
Gender: I am going with Faith. I have this weird feeling:)
weight 7 lbs 13 oz.

No matter what...I am excited.
Gender: Lincoln (someone has to)
Date: December 15th right on time..just like Murray's worship services
Weight: 7 lbs 4 Oz

Shayna and I will be praying for you!
Ok, I'll guess.....
Faith
December 9 (she's ready to be here!!)
7 lbs 13 oz
straight up noon
Gender: Yes - I think the baby will be MUCH happier with a gender.
Date: Probably, but later when he/she is older, and only with "approved" boys/girls.
Weight: I'd put Murray at 240lbs, and Jaime at 110-115lbs (who loves you Jaime!). Is it just me, or does Murray seem to be gaining LOTS of "sympathy" weight...
Time: It will probably take 24-36 hours depending on the position of the baby and whether Murray is able to stay concious and help his wife "breathe-honey-breathe" (all while the bones in his hand are being ground to powder by Jaime's kung-fu grip).
Love you guys! -Uncle Michael

The reason I guess 'BOY' is two-fold:
1) Perhaps he could someday teach his dad something about sports and
2) I would never wish that straw-like hair on a little girl.
All the love,

Looks like Faith to me, since Jamie appears to be able to breathe. But if Karen Kirby says Lincoln, then by all means, I trust she knows the signs.
I channel no psychic guesses except for 11:45 p.m. or 4a.m.
Oh, and I predict a pig out on Mexican food will precede the drive to the hospital by 12 hours. That's how it's done in Texas.
Some great irreverant humor in these responses!!! hahahaha.

I see a lot of guesses of Lincoln and Faith, but I know Randy Travis has come across Jaime's mind for a boy's name! God bless your family!

Birth date: 12/13/05
Weight: 7lbs, 2 oz
Time of arrival: 12:21pm
I'm not even going to hazard a guess as to whether you will have Faith or Lincoln! When I was pregnant with Rachel, almost EVERYone thought for SURE I'd have a boy because of the way I was carrying her (like I had a basketball in my stomach!). However, Steve and I had settled on a girl's name first--Rachel Elizabeth--and somehow I just had this sneaky mom's intuition that I would have a girl despite what everyone else said!
You both are in my prayers as Baby Sanderson's arrival nears. I love both names. By the way, Abe Lincoln is my favorite president.
Love in Christ,
Melanie Williams
