Re: Are you happy with the month of May.. or would you have preferred your baby been born another month?
I am so relieved to not be pregnant during the summer. I've dealt with being big during the summer twice, and there's really not much more miserable.
Based on my history, I probably will have this baby in April. But either way, I'm just so relieved to not be pregnant during the summer again!!!!

I'm really happy with May. There are no other birthdays in May in either of our families and I'm glad I won't have to be pregnant during the sticky, humid summer. I get migraines when the humidity is horrible and can't imagine a migraine and being uber pregnant.
It would also be nice to have off a chunk of the summer as we are buying a house this winter and I picture everything to be happily hectic!
The Princess of Anything is Coming!
Had a dream I was queen.
Woke up. Still queen.
I was a May kid ....and meh...I never minded being a May baby...
but!!! .....this baby is due like...ON MY BIRTHDAY!! My 30th birthday....hahaha
So its kinda funny....never met anyone else who had my birthday but now...I guess I will know someone...hahaha
I will take a baby born in any month. Originally I have hoped for April or May..... of last year, then finally I got PG with a December baby. Immediately I found a bunch of positives to December (pregnant parking during the holidays LOL) so I am sure I would with any month. I just want my baby already.
May is perfect tho, I wont have to carry around a big belly during the hot summer months and will be able to take my newborn out running in the nice weather. Also, MH was born in May and loves having a May birthday.
I've always wanted a spring baby! May is perfect. I was pregnant with DD during the summer last year and it felt like it was the hottest summer EVER. The a/c was my friend. I do think that having a Sept. baby and a May baby is perfect, too.

Timing could not be better! I'm a teacher, so this means I get to miss the end of the school year, which is the worst time of year anyways ;-) Also, my hubby is a teacher, too, which means we'll get three months together with the new baby. I also think it will be nice in terms of getting back in shape. Once I'm done with recovery, I should still have four to six weeks to jump start my exercise routine before the new school year starts.
Aside from the teaching schedule, we're all completely circumventing being pregnant during those hot summer months. From what I've heard, it's really miserable, so I can't say I'm sad to miss out on that!
DS was born Sept. 13th and I LOVED it. He was too little to go outside to play anyways. So, when spring came around he was the perfect age to explore/crawl around in the grass.
I preferred to have a baby in October because i love the fall, plus there are no birthdays in Oct. for my family.
May is perfect timing though since I'm a college student. School will be done May 15th and I'm due May 20th. So, I'll have the summer off for school except one online class. Then right back to school in August.
However, SO b-day is May 14th, Mine is May 30th, My paternal grandpa is May 7th, Maternal grandpa is May 12th, so May is VERY hectic for us. Along with our Anniversary in April. I just hope DS isn't feeling left out. Hopefully future baby #3 will be in the fall with DS. Since mommy, daddy, and LO#2 will have to have a group birthday celebration.

My birthday is Sept 19th and our cut off was Sept 1. My cousin is 6 weeks older than me and growing up we still were able to hang out. But I must say it was nice being the oldest instead of the youngest like she was. I got to drive sooner than everyone else and had all those perks.
