A perfect date?

in November 2013 Moms
If you could have an easy labor with a healthy baby born at any time of your choosing--do you have an "ideal" or "perfect" date in mind?  Why would you choose it?

I think I'd say 11/5--just as it turns the 5th.  My BIL comes in to visit with us for a day and a half for work stuff the evening of 11/4 so if I had a baby that night I wouldn't have to worry about scrambling to arrange people to watch my kids for me.  (I'd be 9 days early, so it's not out of the realm of possibility for me.  I've have kids 15, 11, 7 (x3) and 6 days early.)

So when would you pick?

    10/31 - Halloween means a lot to DH and I. We started dating on Halloween 5 years ago and got engaged on Halloween 2 years ago. 

    Also it'd be an October baby - we already have 8 November babies in the family and just DH for October.

    my due date: 11/25 is my ideal date.

    My grandfather passed away in January, we got pregnant in February.  My grandfather's birthday was 11/25, which is my due date.

    Also, 11/25 is a Monday.  My parents both work, don't have much time off, and are driving about 15 hours to come see baby.  The longest period of time they could spend here is Wed (27th) - Sun (1st).  If she comes another time, they won't get the Thanksgiving break in their schedules, so their visit will have to be 1-2 days shorter.  Plus, DH and I would like a couple days to ourselves, so having 25th to 27th alone, then having my parents here that day would be perfect :).

    I'm due 11/26 and I feel like on or around my due date would be great since DH will have "extra" time off because of the holiday.

    The post title made me think:

    Baby related though, I'd say any time after the 3rd would be great. We have a wedding to go to this weekend, and then November is wide open for birthin a baby!

    This is how I am too!    I told DH, I can go into labor at 9pm on Halloween night, but I just don't want to have DD miss trick or treating!

    My actual due date is 11/14, which I kind of like as a date.   I wouldn't mind giving birth on 11/12/13 though.  That would be cool.

    Any time he wants to come is ok by me.   Oh, but my mom has requested after 11/7 because she has a super important doctor's appointment on that day and doesn't want to reschedule it, and since she is taking care of DD for us while we are in the hospital, I don't want to mess that up for her!  haha

    I'd be happy to have this kid any time, but a weekend would be great. I'm due on Sunday 11/10, but I'd go for 11/2 or 11/3. I just don't want to leave work mid week. I'm so lame for caring about that.

    I'm nervous about going into labor while DH is at work so evening/night or weekend would be ideal.  He wants me to e-mail him when I go into labor. E-mail?!? His work is 30-60 minutes away and the hospital another 20 in the other direction. (sigh)
    As far as days go, not Halloween and not the 8th. (I'm due 11-7.)  Sometime last week would be ideal. ;)

    I keep saying 9 pm Halloween or after! If it was my first, I wouldn't care but I want to see my other 2 in their Halloween parades.

    Any day now is fine. I don't care anymore. I'm due Nov 2 and getting really uncomfortable.

    I would love to have him 11/4 because him and my BFF's son would be exactly a year apart (and I think it would be nice to go a couple days early rather than past-due).  If I do end up going late 11/12/13 would be cool (think of all the times you have to give your DOB), but my heart isn't set on it.  

    I really just do not want LO to be born on Halloween-- so I'm convinced my water is breaking Thursday morning and that's when he is coming.

    I'm hoping for a Friday because that's most convenient with DH work schedule and people to watch DD. preferably before thanksgiving. I'm due 11/18.

    I'm due on 11/8. I would prefer for her to arrive on the 8th in the late evening or that weekend. I would prefer any day after my DD though. I have a feeling that she doesn't want to go anywhere anytime soon so I'm feeling good about making it to my DD.

    We shall see!

    I had a DD of 11/06
    My ideal day was 10/22 ( so my boys would be 11months apart to the day) amd my little man listened to momma and arrived at 5:47am on that day!

    I'm due the 18th and my last day of work is the 8th, so anytime after that. 11/12/13 would be neat.
