So... I guess I'm not going to be having a 2011 baby then.

Have just realised that there are fewer than 9 months left in 2011.

Oh well. Here's hoping for a 2012 baby instead.

tww = two week wait?

No.

I'm on powtwbigmpa (pissed off with the world because I got my period again).

@ everyone seriously debating the merits of a January baby.

We just missed a whole year. But January is a sure bet.

I'm pretty set on that!

DizzyKipper · 22/04/2011 17:15

Hmm, nah, definitely prefer maternity leave off for Christmas

Bexamundo · 22/04/2011 14:30

I hit big 3-0 in August so will settle for expecting my then (but of course will have to sober on the big day!)

Buggerlugs I wanted another one before I'm 30 so I'm looking at May 2012! I am sad it's definitely not going to be this year though, 2012 seems like yonks away.

Anyway good luck to everyone! Had a bad month so am going to try and chill, have my hair and nails done and relax with a lot of chocolate and wine over the weekend!

What about 'baby you were born the year London held the Olympics'?!. Pretty cool!

DizzyKipper · 21/04/2011 07:16

Ah mat leave around Christmas, best reason yet My work means regardless of what day it is if I'm scheduled for it I have to come in, went through a period of working every single christmas for years!

DizzyKipper · 21/04/2011 07:15

Hehe pregnant through winter - would probably be the first time in my life that I didn't feel cold :p
Mind you, if I am pregnant on this cycle it puts my due date at 2nd January - I could just foresee the little one coming out on 27th December just because not only was my OH born that day but also his twin sisters decided to come out then as well.

LoveInAColdClimate · 21/04/2011 06:28

Plus, assuming January/February due date, we can hibernate in the cosy house with our tiny new babies and then by spring they will be more aware/we will be more used to being mothers for lovely spring trips to the park and days in the garden.

AmandaCooper · 21/04/2011 06:22

And we'll pay less out in childcare before our children start school.

Bexamundo · 21/04/2011 06:06

AND we might be on mat leave around Christmas!

PatientGriselda · 20/04/2011 22:08

Hmm, maybe we need an Indian summer, so as to be able to float around in loose-fitting yet fabulous garb just up until the point when we are too pregnant to enjoy it any more, at which point it can switch to cosy autumnal wraps.

NinjaChipmunk · 20/04/2011 22:00

I'm liking your way of thinking!
That said should I have a summer baby then maybe I should float around with large sunglasses, fanning myself wearing loose, cooling yet suitably flattering clothes

PatientGriselda · 20/04/2011 21:56

Exactly. We can swan around looking cool and chic. None of that sweaty fatness for US. And think of all the delicious opportunities for lying elegantly on sofas all day in a stylish cushion and blanket melange.

NinjaChipmunk · 20/04/2011 21:50

ds was an oct baby and i have to say commuting through central london in summer was horrible. I would like to be cool and stylish, not hot, fat and sweaty! although i no longer work in central london. And i'm not yet pg after a year of trying. ah well!

Bexamundo · 20/04/2011 21:38

Only disadvantages I see are maternity clothes. I'm the same size as Dsis and she had a summer baby, was hoping to borrow her stuff!

NinjaChipmunk · 20/04/2011 21:34

I would like an autumn winter pregnancy. I think I would be quite stylish.

LoveInAColdClimate · 20/04/2011 21:34

2012 has a nice ring to it anyway... good luck to all of us for our lovely 2012 babies.

PatientGriselda · 20/04/2011 21:33

Who wants a boring old 2011 baby anyway?

(suppressed howl of anguish)

Bexamundo · 20/04/2011 21:28

Ah Griselda you're such an optimist! Spring babies tend be healthier too via they're aren't exposed to so many germs when they're tiny. See? All kinds of reasons to be positive!
