Tiger babies

[Bumbleconfusus]

I know this is fairly irrational, pointless and whatever else, but I'm at 36wks and desperately want to get to 39wks just so that I can have a tiger baby (chinese new year/year of the tiger starts 14th Feb). I don't believe in Chinese new year at all but I just think it sounds nice (I was also a tiger baby)... have been looking up chinese years and am hoping i could try for another child (I know I shouldn't count my chickens) in two years so I could have a dragon baby... anyone else having random thoughts like that?

I have a feeling one of my children is a rat.

If the baby comes before 39 weeks, what will it be?

[MoochingNoshingPondering]

I am a rooster, DH is a tiger, my dad is a horse and my mum was a rooster,FIL was a monkey and MIL is a rooster

[Bumbleconfusus]

it will be an ox, I soooooooo don't want an ox (when if I just hold it in an ickle bit longer I can have a tiger).

Its a twelve year cycle i think, and two years before you get tiger you get rat (my mother and brother are rats). The most unfortunate people are meant to be the winter sheep.

I have a monkey, rooster and rat

[belgo]

I'm a dragon and dh is a tiger

[peppapighastakenovermylife]

Is it your first DC? Most likely it will be a tiger then .

Bet at full term you are muttering and wishing you already had a little ox

[Bumbleconfusus]

ooo belgo, lucky it is that way round, apparently if you were a tiger and he was a dragon then you would fight alot (female tigers and male dragons)...

[CleverCircusFlea]

belgo, i'm so jealous!
I'm a pig (no i'm not!!), and DP is a dragon.

[Bumbleconfusus]

Ooooo pigs are meant to be very good... tho its a bit embarrassing to say... my dh is a piggy, tho you can always try to make it sound a bit different by saying boar as wiki does.

Peppa, it is my first dc, but I would be an ickle bit gutted if I ended up with an ox and my bro managed to get a tiger (his dc is due in april)... Cmoooooon tiger! (never mind the gender, its allll about the chinese animal year )

I love this thread! Has made me smile and I just had a look to see what the chinese say my little tiger baby (Due 7th August!) will be like!

Ooh, I've never thought to look before.

I'm a rat , DH is a cock rooster and DS is a monkey .

[yama]

I'm a Dragon which I have always been proud of (without knowing anything at all about Chinese astrology).

Dh is a horse, dd a rooster and all going well dc2 will be a tiger.

[Pingpong]

I'm a rat and never really liked the sound of that. Looks like I'll be having a tiger this time though as I'm due end of Feb. I'm now intrigued to find out what DD and DH are.

[Fibilou]

I am a dragon, DH is a goat and this baby (if she ever comes out ) will be an ox

[Pingpong]

Okay I'm not a rat after all!
DH and DD are rats, I'm an ox and bump will be a tiger unless we get an unexpected early arrival! If DH and DH are both rats maybe I do want a ox ?

Ox (Water buffalo in Vietnam) (Yin, 2nd Trine, Fixed Element Water): Dependable, calm, methodical, born leader, patient, hardworking, ambitious, conventional, steady, modest, logical, resolute, tenacious. Can be stubborn, narrow-minded, materialistic, rigid, demanding.

Tiger (Yang, 3rd Trine, Fixed Element Wood): Unpredictable, rebellious, colorful, powerful, passionate, daring, impulsive, vigorous, stimulating, sincere, affectionate, humanitarian, generous. Can be restless, reckless, impatient, quick-tempered, obstinate, selfish, aggressive, unpredictable.

I have a Tiger, a Dragon and a Sheep and it's the Sheep that rules this house...

I am a Pig, but that surprises no one

[Linnet]

I'm a dragon, dh and dd1 are both Ox and dd2 is a monkey.

[MrsBadger]

I haven't ever looked this up before - how interesting!

DH is a dragon, I'm a horse, dd is a fire-pig and ds an ox - seems like a good balance

I wonder how this maps onto conventional star signs? [wanders off]

[HerbalHolly]

On a similar note I've been fretting about my due date being 8th August which means a Leo. So far all the Leos I know really stress me out... Oh well luckily it's all hooey. (i hope)

[LuckyC]

I'm a tiger and my daughter is going to be a tiger. No idea what it means but sounds cool.

[ShowOfHands]

DD is a golden pig, whatever the feck that means.

I'm a monkey and am married to a cock chicken rooster.

[crumpette]

I have no idea what I am, just clicked on this thread thinking it was about Tiger Woods and some illegitimate kiddies

[bruffin]

I am a tiger surrounded by lots of ox (what is the plural?) my DH, DD and my mum. My DS is a Pig.

DS, DD and I are virgos and DH is on the cusp of leo/virgo

[Pingpong]

ox - oxen
