April 9th


This is when my baby will be born. Write it down: April 9th, 2013. How do I know this? Because my Aunt Debbie told me so. And so, it is written in the stars. Here's how I know this:

When my mother was pregnant with me, I was due August 23rd. At my mother's Baby Shower, my Aunt Debbie said, "Wouldn't it be neat if your baby and Andi shared a birthday?" You see, Andi is my older cousin. Her birthday is on September 2nd. My mother was horrified that Aunt Debbie dared say such a thing, because that would mean I would be ten days late!

Guess who was born on September 2nd.

I was a fat, late baby.

The world has its ways of coming full-circle. Now, Andi is expecting her second baby and is due in April, just like me. She is, however, scheduled to have a Cesarean birth on April 9th. So this weekend during my Baby Shower, I had to ask Aunt Debbie, "Do you think our babies will share a birthday, just like me and Andi?" And she agreed!

So there you have it: Aunt Debbie said that this is my baby's birthday. I will now have my baby 10 days early rather than 10 days late. Thank you, Aunt Debbie. I appreciate your blessing!

Birthday-sharing mamas with future birthday-sharing babies!

  1. What's really crazy is that if it does happen you would also have the 10 day connection! Wow, what a coincidence!

  3. You forgot to mention that our dads and our grandma all shared a birthday on March 15th. I think we're gonna make the record books. :)
