Okay, well I have a July child, and am about to have a February child.
My due date is February 20th, and silly me thinks it’ll be awesome to have Pisces, but that means not having the baby early…but I had my son a little early so I sort of expect it. Anyway, I just want a Pisces because I’m a Cancer, my son is a Cancer and my husband is a Sag…we’d all get along lol. I wanted a January baby, but that didn’t happen.
Okay, on to the pregnancy related side:
Summer babies aren’t bad to have. My son was early July, it was nice to be inside in the a/c all cuddled with him. It wasn’t a bad summer, so we’d go out pretty often. I was pregnant for all the Holidays, so the food was ten times more delicious. I couldn’t go and be in the sun that summer though because my son was too small and no one wants to get in a bathing suit after delivering.
This February due date thing…kinda sucks. I got pregnant in May and that means being in the “in between chubby and looking pregnant” phase that is also know as “the first trimester” People can’t tell I’m pregnant, but I obviously have some pudge going on. It’s hard for women to go through that phase, because your body is changing and you are becoming aware of a lot of things. But, it gives me some time to get back in shape before the summer.
School age wise, I loved being younger than everyone. With a July birthday, you are before the cutoff so you are almost a year younger than everyone…you graduate at 17, which seems quite exciting at the time. I think they may have changed the cut offs though, because my son might actually be an entire year older than everyone…which doesn’t make sense why they’d do such a thing. Minus on summer birthdays: no cupcakes or snacks to bring in to everyone to school, to celebrate your birthday. I hated missing out on that.
My husband has a mid December birthday. He says it always got jumbled in with Christmas, but his mother tried to separate it so he’d feel special..which I think is super sweet. I wouldn’t wish a December birthday on anyone though.
My next baby will be May or June…I’ve already decided. And if we have a fourth (if I feel like driving my husband crazy) then we’ll leave that up to fate.
