Hi. I have been reading all your posts the past few days and now am able to post. I got a + on Sunday so I think that would make my EDD is 11/2. This will be baby #2. My son was born last February so he just turned one. I hate hate hate to say that when I first learned I was pregnant it was kind of bitter-sweet. I have been through a really tough year (long story....got really sick after my first pregnancy and just started feeling better in Nov). I had wanted my kids really close in age but couldn't even think about getting pregnant for many months. So I was kind of happy to see a + but at the same time kind of upset that the baby would be born in Nov. I swore to myself that the next baby wpuld be a spring/summer baby and if I waited a few more months...I just think its easier when one has a baby in the nice weather (you are not stuck in the house for months on end) and safer--I am soooooo nervous about having a baby smack in the beginning of flu season (after my ordeal I've kind of become a bit paranoid). And, I feel so overwhelmed--like my life is still not in order from the first pregnancy...I didn't even put a photo album together for my first baby yet. I have to say I had been feeling so guilty for dwelling on the month so much and after reading so many posts and hearing that so many people had to try for so long, it broke my heart more, and I said to myself this is what God wanted and it doesn't matter what month it is as long as I have a healthy baby. Just praying I don't have to go through what I did the first time. Thanks for listening. I wish all of us the best of luck.

My 3 girls were due in Dec, March and Feb, I also wanted a warm weather babe, especially since my sister had 3 of hers' in July and August and had all these awesome summer birthday parties at this great little lake spot we have just 5 min away from home ! Ah well, I decided to not try and manipulate things and let everything happen as it would and now here I am on the November board :-) There was a sars thing going on for the Dec babe and maternity was shut down, i had to go elsewhere for an induction with Dr's i didnt know. I'm sure that's very light compared to what you had gone threw but for what it's worth, we were all just fine in all 3 deliveries in the winter and none of us got sick. Wishing you better luck this time !

welcome and CONGRATS!
I hope this pg will go a lot smoother then your first. I as well was fearful when I was going to have a winter baby. Thankfully she stayed healthy. It is this year now that she is one that we have been all sick. Winter can suck. Just have to do what you can to keep them as healthy as you can.

Congrats! I also wanted a May or June baby, but God had plans otherwise and I am totally fine with that

Congratulations! God blessed us with one summer baby, and one winter (only 19 months apart) and I, too, was concerned about my son being healthy, but thankfully, he was. I think a Thanksgiving baby would be very exciting.
