If you could choose your LO's Birth Date

What would it be? My due date is 05/23 and it would be neat if he came that day, it marks the first date my husband and I had 3 years ago 
What date would you choose, whether it's a favorite number or some significance?
This is just for fun ladies.

Re: If you could choose your LO's Birth Date
I have three:
April 29th -it's my nephews birthday and I think it would be cool if the first two grandkids had the same birthday!
May 6th- because I'm a dork and 5/6/11 could be 5+6=11
Math 10th- my due date and my birthday. Would love to share a birthday with my daughter!
Days I don't want:
May 13th- It's a Friday. Friday the 13th.
Anything but May 19th, which is my MIL's birthday. I am a brat and don't want my daughter and MIL sharing a birthday. While my own mother's birthday is May 30th, and that doesn't seem to bother me at all.
DD2: February 2014
At my anatomy scan the Tech said it looks like a more accurate due date than my original (May 25) is May 21...but my birthday is the 22nd, so I think it would be really special if she was born on my birthday.
I will get to choose my child's birth date this time, within reason. My due date is May 17th, and the doctor says she will deliver the baby the week before. So when we schedule the c/section I will be able to choose what day.
I would like to avoid a few days: 9th, 10, or 13th due to family birthdays. If I had to pick one of those days it would be the 10th, which is my Mom's birthday!
we chose DS1 birthday because of taxes and a holiday. He's 12/31.
For this one, if I had to choose....well...I'm taking some college courses and the last official day of class isn't until 5/13. I'm due 5/15. I think all my stuff can be turned in earlier but that aside, if I could pick the date it would be May 12 because next year for his first birthday it would fall on a Saturday so his party would be on his actual birthday.

Due May 23rd.
Hoping for:
5/17 (my bday as well as 2 of my little cousin's)
or
5/18 (my grandma's bday)
or
5/19 I have a close friend 'cousin' who is on the 16th - so it could be 16/17/18/19)
I am a dork and would pick 5/6/11 as well. I actually would not mind 5/13 because my godmother was born on Friday the 13th and she is just an amazing woman all around.
I really want May 18, because I am a geology dork, and that's the anniversary of Mt. St. Helens blowing her top (plus, we live in the area).
I don't want May 13, because that's DH & my anniversary! Sorry, I don't feel like sharing!
May 9 might be cool (but that would make me a bit too early--due date is May 26) because it's my sister's birthday.
I'm due May 24th, but my 24th birthday is on the 23rd. I don't really want to share a birthday (moreso, I don't want her to have to share a birthday), and I'd really love for her to come before my birthday. I know it's probably vain, but I want to be able to say I was still 24 when I had my first kid.
May 6th. Its a Friday. DH has finals the whole next week and I would like to have him at the hospital. If I go anytime in the following week he might miss one of his finals and that would suck. I'm sure his professors would understand but it would just be easier if he didn't have to deal with it at all.
Better yet, how about April 29th? That way he wouldn't miss his finals review.

Meimsx no more
That is pretty cool!
Actually EDD is May 5th If she were born on this day there would always be a wild party down town for her well for Cinco de Mayo (we live in Tucson)
May 8th: It would be awesome to become a mom on mothers day
May 10th is MIL b-day she would love to share it with Audrey (Dr. said if I don't deliver sooner office procedure would be to induce me May 10th)
May 13th is DH b-day and also his grandmothers ( I am hoping I can convince my Dr to let me go longer than May 10th I really want Audrey to come when she is ready and I don't like the idea of being induced)
May 18th is my dads b-day but I really doubt I could convince the Dr. to let me go this long without induction.
I'm due May 16th, and I would like an earlier date just so it's farther away from DD's birthday, which is May 30th. I'd like to avoid my anniversary, which is May 2.
If I had to chose, I think I'd go with May 6th, too. I like that the numbers add up even if I never would have thought of that myself!
Fun question!
I'm due May 16th.
IF I could choose, Miss Claire would come either:
May 15h: my SIL's (DH's sister) birthday
May 8th: Mother's Day
Or even at a HEALTHY couple weeks early, sometime around May 1st - DH's very best friend is getting married on May 14th and we'll feel horrible (though, they obviously understand) if we have to miss his wedding and they're left one groomsman short!
My EDD is May 28. If I could choose, I'd be happy if baby was born on my due date, as it's my parents' anniversary (they're divorced, so it's a historical date at this point).
Otherwise, my SIL's birthday is May 29, and she seems psyched at the possibility of a birthday buddy. Plus I was born on the 29th (of August) so that would be neat for me too.
May 26 is the anniversary of when DH and I officially started dating, so that would be cool as well.
If the baby is born early, I'd love May 13... 13 has always been a lucky/favorite number in my family.

Really any day from May 12 forward would be fine by me, although the closer to my due date the better, May 23.
My son's birthday is May 7 and my husband's birthday is May 11. I really don't want either of them to have to share their birthday with the new baby.
I'm not sure whether my OB changed the due date after the anatomy scan. The original EDD was May 15, the 15 week u/s said May 10, and the anatomy scan said May 13 but they also said that was so close to May 15 that they'd just leave it as May 15. So who knows when I"m due.
All that said, I'd prefer to skip May 8 (my birthday) and May 15 (my mother's birthday).
I was born on a Saturday at 9pm and the next day was Mother's Day, which was neat for my mother. She could enjoy that a little more than it falling on the day she was actually in labor. But she did always get a little short-changed with her own birthday being so close to Mother's Day.
This. DH and I started dating 6 years ago on 5/6. Also, our wedding anniversary is 7/3/2010 which is 7+3=10 so that would also be really neat.
5/14 would also be nice because that is my Dad's birthday.
I am due 5/24 but would love Mother's Day (5/8), 5/13 (Friday the 13th), 5/14 (my grandfather died that day in '90 so it would be nice to bring light to that day!), 5/16 (My late Father's birthday) or 5/30 (Memorial Day).
As long as I don't go May 9, May 17, or May 20th---> Class Finals.
For some reason I feel like he's going to be born on June 2. I don't any reason why I feel that way, so who knows. I'm due May 25th. Anytime that week would be near b/c his birthday would be near Memorial Day weekend so he could always have a fun 3 day weekend off school and work for his birthday.
Alternately, I would be totally happy if he came healthy, but a couple weeks early. I have class of kids that I've taught for 4 years and I'm leaving them at the end of this semester (Monday) and I would really love to be at their graduation and I think they would love it if baby and I could be there.
