Anyone have a "dream" due month or specific date?

Just a random post that I thought might be fun (I'm not sure if anyone has ever asked this before...).
Any month that you would love to have a baby in? Any specific reason why? Or maybe a certain date?
Proud babywearing, breastfeeding, vaccinating SAHM of 2U2!

Re: Anyone have a "dream" due month or specific date?
I'm wierd about seasons, months, dates, days of the week etc. etc. like if something doesn't look (yes look, as in on paper... I know I'm strange) good or sound good... I'll avoid linking an important event to it. Major example, DD was coming soon and I absolutely hated the thought of having her one 12/1 or 12/3 so I did my absolute best to get her out before then!
Now I want to shoot for her siblings to be born in May and September... just because I like the times of year and the way they look/sound!
Hopefully I'm not the only wacky one out there

My EDD with my CP was my grandpa's birthday, and that was nice, but I just want a baby. I could be super pregnant in the sweltering heat, super pregnant when there's inches of snow and ice on the ground -- I really don't care as long as I get a baby in the end.

TTC #1 since 8/2011

October!
I loved having spring babies, it was great to be able to get out and take walks and sit outside right away, but I never was showing pregnant in the summer and always wanted to wear the cute summer maternity clothes :-) Plus you aren't super pregnant and uncomfortable in the summer heat.
May is my dream month. Outdoor birthday parties, they're still in school so they get to enjoy their birthday day with their friends, you're only a few weeks pregnant in the end of summer and deliver before it gets hot.
With that being said, I wanted late spring babies twice and ended up with two winter babies. lol. The benefit of those months was being thin enough by summer to feel comfortable in a bathing suit and they were old enough for sunscreen so we could enjoy their first summer. Also, snuggling with a baby on your chest in the cold was really nice.
BFP 8/03/12 EDD 4/18/13
This. When you're trouble TTC or possibly IF....you will take any month which way or how.

Just because something isn't happening for you right now doesn't mean it will never happen.
IUI #1 - BFN IUI #2 - BFN
IVF - Starting injects May 25 IVF #1 - BFP!
That was our goal with DS too and he ended up being born July 3rd. I'm going to try harder for April this time now that I know a lot more about ttc. Last time I felt cheated out of maternity leave and totally not ready to leave my little guy. I know my 8 weeks was the same or even better than what many women get, so I'm not trying to complain about it, but I'm going to try to take advantage of my schedule.
That being said, I just want a healthy baby. We started trying already even though due date would be in March at this point and will continue trying when due date will mean no maternity leave again.

PAIF/SAIF Welcome!
I found it hard having DS in January. It was a brutal winter and I had some PPD so it sucked being trapped inside a lot. I'm hoping #2 is a spring/summer or early fall baby. But we also won't avoid trying if we are not pregnant next spring.
Me (26) Him (27)
21 cycles TTC
I would prefer not to have LO #2 in April... I have a lot of deaths/bad memories of that month so that's why...
Then again if I had a LO then I would change it to "well, here's something great that happened in April that makes up for all the BS"... so it wouldn't matter to me if that did happen
I've had dreams about being pregnant and giving birth, but they were never on a specific date that I noticed.
I'll take any month, any day, but I'd prefer not to have my due date in December. Or on February 29th...
ETA: And I totally missed that "dream" was in quotes and not actually referring to an actual dream...lmao. I just woke up!
Yep!

We are only trying until September
I graduate next May and will start my internship year next July.
Ideally, we would have a LO in March or April. That way I'll have atleast 2 months home with the baby before internship h3ll starts! We were going to TTA in August because I don't want to miss graduation if I went into labor, but I don't think I'll be able to stop trying since we have such a limited time.
I'm starting to lose hope that we'll get KU this year. We won't start TTC again until early 2014
Come on sperm meet egg!

The name is Angel. I'm 27 years old & DH is 28. We have been together for 12 years, married on May 21, 2011. We are TTC #1! I was diagnosed with endometriosis via laparoscopy in August 2010. Off of BC since March 2012. I am a 2nd year OB/GYN Resident physician. I love getting to be involved in precious miracles first moments of life, and I can't wait until the day we are blessed to have our own miracle!

every month changes... i started wanting an august baby my first cycle and a september baby my second cycle and an october baby my third.......... and right now i'm hoping for a march baby and if this month doesn't work out, i'll be crossing everything for a healthy baby in April....
?TTC#1 since 04/11?CP 03/28/12?Me:Polycystic Ovaries&Endo??Him:MFI- Awaiting 2nd SA?

My husband and I going to start trying to conceive in August so that the baby will be due in April/May/June-ish.
I'm a teacher, so my due date will be toward the end of the school year. That will give me time to stay home with the baby without it interfering with work.
We'd like for the baby to be born in May, which is my birth month, because we made the decision to start our family this past May. Plus, we know a lot of other "May babies" and have one giant party to celebrate each year. Adding a new May Baby would be wonderful!
It's cute that March is such a fave! DD was a March baby and it really was a great time of year to have a newborn. That said, I went into labor at 1am on the 16th and REALLY did not want a St. Patrick's Day baby. She was born 20 minutes before midnight, phew.
We're shooting for April-June this time. If I don't get pregnant by the end of September, we may TTA for two months. We really don't want a summer baby for the ridiculous reason of wanting the kid to have his/her birthday during the school year. But we may just keep humping it out, too, because any baby is a blessing, obviously.
I sincerely don't care.
However, both DH, my mom, and I have birthdays on the 13th. Supposedly, all of the little due date calculators give me a date right arond mid-March (11th-13th) if this is our lucky cycle. So, it would be really neat to have a kid on the 13th as well, but, again, I just want a LO.
TTC since August 2011, Me = 40, DH = 38
Unexplained IF. Tried Clomid for 3 cycles. All BFNs. BFP 1/6/13. Chemical pregnancy.
Moving on to IVF#1. ER 11/26/13, 16 eggs retreived, 12 mature and all fertilized. 2 blasts transferred on 12/1. All other embies arrested so nothing left to freeze. Beta 12/10 = BFN. IVF #2 March 2014. BFP!!! TEAM BLUE!!!
We are going to start trying in Sept/Oct/Nov and I'd love a summer baby. In my family we have no birthdays in the summer except mine, and it's a pretty stress-free time of year.
Here in Canada we get one year off for maternity leave so I think it'd be great to go back to work toward the end of the following summer so I could spend a whole summer with my (almost) one year old.
But once we start TTC I will not TTA any month, I'll be happy with a healthy baby anytime of the year.
