Lets name all the great things about having a March baby!

I will go first!
I love the time of year: early spring, everything will still be cold as I stay in the first few weeks and then perfect for stroller rides and getting out more often in April!
And I am not a teacher, but I imagine its a good time to have a baby on the school calendar. Do you have to go back before summer break?

Re: Lets name all the great things about having a March baby!
I work on the school calendar and I would be taking the rest of the year off if I hadn't thrown my back out and been off for a month. Now I have to go back for the month of May. But even so I'll only be at work for a month and then have the rest of the summer off. So that will be nice.
There are so many great things about a March baby for me.
- not having to go back to school(work) after having the baby
- being able to get my body back for summer on the beach
- our baby not having to share a summer birthday with the other 8 we have between May & July
- perfect weather surrounding BK's birth!
Not being pregnant during the hottest time of the year.
By the time the baby will be old enough for me to really want to take him out, it'll be warm and flu/cold season will be over.
I'm from Savannah and St. Patrick's Day is huge there, so it's exciting to think his birthday will be close to the holiday.
I love spring, so glad to have the time off to enjoy the weather with my LO.
Baby born not during the holidays. I fell like spring through summer is the best time to have a baby, then it's back to school, then all of the holidays, but after new years things settle down.
A selfish momma one, a little bit AW: I love being pregnant during the holidays. It was so fun to see all of my relatives and have them pat my bump!
This is what I thought of! I'm already looking forward to baby's first Christmas.
NFL season being over and CFL (because we're in Canada) not started yet is big in our house. And thankfully DH isn't big into March Madness.
Our babe will have her own birth month and away from her cousins which are all around Christmas.
We can hibernate for a bit and no one will notice.
The bulk of the coldest weather should be over by then. But we'll see, because it's been really mild up until now.
Well, I live in the Twilight state and they picked Forks, WA as Vampire town for a reason, cause it absolutely is rainy and gloomy all the time! Summer is my favorite month cause its the warmest and the happiest season for us Pac Northwesterners! So I'll have my new baby boy in March and will get a few weeks to adjust to being a new mommy. Then Summer is right around the corner.
After 6 months of being miserably ill leading into 9 months of pregnancy, I could use some serious mood boosting and a new baby followed by summer should do just the trick!!
Well first off March is just around the corner!
Secondly, not pregnant during the hot sticky months here in Atlanta.
Thirdly, being ready to hit the pool and possibly the beach with LO by mid to late summer.
Did I mention that March is like literally a couple months away?
I agree with so many of the above!
-Being a teacher I'll be off from March-August
-Weather will be beautiful to be outside
-The "worst" of my frist-tri was late summer and I was still off school and could take naps every day! ;-)
-Winter in3rd tri is SO much better than summer!
I refused to be pregnant in Cincinnati in the summer. It is hot and humid and miserable from about July-September.
I also was hoping for a Spring baby so we can get outside
I have friends who about went insane being stuck in the house all winter b/c of the cold, or risk of flu. I friend of mine just had her little girl last week and is not allowed anywhere for 8 weeks b/c baby had some breathing issues and its flu season.
I hope to be able to go for walks and take some advantage of the spring during my 6-8 weeks off work.
Cold/Flu season will be over.
Spring is AWESOME in MN
I can get back into shape much easier during the spring/summer than in the winter. I LOVE running outside.
I think we will plan it again to have another February/March/April baby with the next one. This timing is working out better than we could have expected!
I am hoping for a St. Patty's Day baby. I love St. Patrick's Day! Also, there is no big holiday to outshine little ones birthday. DS is a January baby, and although his birthday is the end of the month, it just seems to soon after Christmas! It does help that when he is sad to see Santa go, atleast he has his bday to look forward too! But, for me, it just seems so close!
As someone who had two summer babies - I wholeheartedly agree and second this!
I won't actually make it to March, but I was really excited to be due right before DH's birthday
-As a teacher, it's the perfect time! I'll be off from March to August.
-Not being hugely pregnant during the 110 degree summer.
-I really liked being pregnant for the holidays! It was cool to be able to see all my extended family and talk about the baby
-LO will have a birthday at a pretty good time of year, not too close to any major holidays (other than Easter but only when it's early), not during summer when you don't get to celebrate in school, etc.
I have to agree with everyone that said not being pregnant in the humid summer. It gets sticky here.
I am excited that by the time is gets warmer I will be able to take him out with me for walks in the park.
He will be born BEFORE St. Patrick's Day, which means that I will be able to actually celebrate! Wheee!
Me (33). DH (37). DD (2.2012). MCs x4. After 4 years & 7 months, due 4.2018!
Also, looking forward to walking my DD with LO to school the rest of the school year. Weather in Florida will be pretty. Not like it ever gets cold here! God Forbid it gets below 71.
Ditto, Ditto ....LOL
This. The humidity is horrible in Atlanta. We've had mild "winter" weather. So March is an unpredictable Month for weather in Atlanta, we'll see what the weather holds for us. But the best thing about a baby born in March is he/she is old enough to be in the pool! and you can get them used to the water and learn to love it!
