Pros and Cons of a Winter baby
My husband and I have always talked about having a Spring/Summer baby but now I have been contemplating a possible Winter baby. What are yalls experiences? Here are a few reasons why I am starting to consider a Winter baby, let me know what yall think.
1) In my profession I am contract labor so I will not receive paid maternity leave and bills tend to cost a considerable amount less in the winter, I understand its not all about the money and my husband can easily take over, but why not relieve some stress?
2) I commute to work in a different town and it takes about 45 minutes to an hour to get to work and when we have bad winters its hard enough for me to get to work so if I am on maternity leave I wont even have to worry about getting out in the weather
3) by the time summer rolls around they will be big enough to enjoy going outside
These are just a few of the things I have been thinking about

Re: Pros and Cons of a Winter baby
For me, I just want a healthy baby WHENEVER it might come. Even if that means I get less time off of work, have to spend extra time in the car or don't get to "play" with my baby outside.

Uh...try lurking before posting stupid stuff like this! Most of us would be thrilled to just GET pregnant, let alone "time" getting pregnant around a particular birth season. Totally ridiculous.

Good news, you are so smart that you'll get pregnant the first month you try to have a winter baby. WALNUTS.

Yes, you should order you baby online at customizedbaby. com and pre-schedule delivery. You're a little late for Winter 2013, but it's never too late for Winter 2014. Here are the instructions:
(1) Pick birthdate
(2) Pick gender
(3) Pick hair color
(4) Pick eye color
(5)Click yes for dimples
(6) Click 1 for sports talent, Click 2 for music ability, Click 3 for above average intelligence, Click 4 for freakishly long toes
There is seriously something wrong with people today! UGhhh!

Did you know that people complained about Monopoly taking too long to play, so they are revamping the game and eliminating jail?

People are too impatient for monopoly? That sucks and it makes me sad.
I remember having a semester-long monopoly game during a study hall in high school. Those were the days.
