Irrationally upset...

Is it absolutely ridiculous that I am irrationally upset that I may very well have a February baby? I have just had my mind set on the baby's birthday being January that it's completely throwing me off that it could not be the case. :/ I'm due the 26th and I won't even consider getting induced until 41 weeks (Feb 2nd). I have had no signs, like at all, of this baby coming anytime soon. Am I alone in this madness?!?

    I may very well have a February baby too since my due date is 1/31. I'm actually hoping he comes a little late so that he can share a birth month with his dad and great grandmas. I know that's not of much help to you, but I noticed the other day that I was so set on him being a little late (and a Feb baby) that I wouldn't be mentally prepared if he came early or on time. So I've been telling myself that it doesn't really matter what month he comes. I'm just focusing on a healthy baby. Maybe try to focus on the end result instead and everything else won't really matter :)

    I don't really care what month my baby's birthday is (due 29th) I'm just afraid she's gonna stay in there until presidents day or something. I am so ready to be done I'm afraid I'll be crazy by then!!!!

    I'm due the 29th also and I'm also ridiculously and irrationally set on a January baby. I know it's dumb! I guess baby girl will decide when her birthday will be...all part of the unpredictability of parenthood, eh?

    I don't think I will make it to Feb. but it's not impossible. This is my second and my first was 3 weeks early. I am due Jan 25. So chances are any day...

    HOWEVER, this whole time I was bummed that I was going to have a January baby with garnet as the birthstone instead of February with amethyst. And the real kicker, I love Chinese zodiac stuff and was excited by the idea of a Fire Monkey. The Chinese New Year is Feb 8th. I would be 42 weeks by that date, I don't think that's happening. 

    Chances are I will have my wood sheep with a garnet birthstone any day now. And I will be thrilled!

    I'm the same, I'm very set on having a January baby and the idea she's coming in February really stresses me out for no known reason. My whole pregnancy I've had people telling me I wouldn't make it to my due date, and even though I know I shouldn't listen to unsolicited advice from others I think subconsciously I was telling myself I'd go early. I'm due the 24th and I feel like she's gonna be late and my doctor won't induce until early February :( total irrational I know but at this point I think we're allowed to be irrational about somethings!

    After thinking I was in labor 2 different times this weekend, I've decided to just ignore all feelings of possible labor until it's undeniable. I'm due the 28th, but he dropped early and is on the bigger side. I was originally thinking he would come late, but latley I've been thinking otherwise. I'm a total contro freak and the fact that I have 0 control in this matter is maddening to me...

    @OrangeFox agreed that monkey would bae so much better than goat...but to make it until feb 9th for any of us would be stretching it to the limit! For most of the pregnancy I thought I'd make it until Feb, and was excited for a better birthstone and flower and Aquarius and even possibly monkey (since I kept being told how late I'd potentially go since she measured small)...but now the doctor is saying any day now it's possible, and frankly I'm so uncomfortable that I'm willing to put the rest aside and just get her out right now, haha.

    @Knottie82382906 i totally get the control thing! I think that's mostly the problem. I'm wildly jealous that you are having any sings! My little one has still not dropped :( I'm 39 weeks today and this one coming on its due date or earlier is very unlikely. Ugh...

    Thanks for your input ladies! Glad to hear I'm not alone!! I think being team green is making it worse bc I am so tired of waiting to see who this little one is. I'm so ready to know!!!

    I'm the same way! I'm actually due today so I know I wont go into January as my ob said he wont let me go past a week. But I would feel the same way!! I actually had a specific date stuck on my head (no idea why it was just there) that has now passed and it bummed me Out.

    I've been starting to think that this little guy might make an appearance in February as well, due January 31st.  I'm ok with that, but this morning we had to take a little trip to L&D because he wasn't moving. . . . and all I could think of was that January 19th sounded ugly for a birthdate.  So stupid, I know! 

    BTW, they hooked us up to the monitors and whatnot, and all is good with the baby!

    @kaos16 - Same thing happened to me this am!  I was worried today might be LO's bday as well.  (Not that I would mind terribly, I'm just hoping to avoid an induction, if possible and I'm also only 38 weeks and 2 days and I'd like to let her cook another week or two!)  Luckily, she finally moved around and passed the test.  :)

    I'm also thinking I'm going to have a February baby, but my due date is 1/31, so I've been anticipating that as an option since the beginning.  I am psyched about the amethyst option, since I prefer that birthstone, but I'm guessing I will be happy no matter when she comes.  ;)

    Uh, garnets are awesome! They don't just come in red.

    There are some that change from pink to blue, depending on the type of light!
