Are You a Winter Baby? Are You the Parent of One?
I found this pretty darn interesting. I'm a summer baby, as are most of my siblings - except my oldest sister. My mom got pregnant with her when she was just out of high school.

New Light on the Plight of Winter Babies - WSJ.com

I have one child for each season; so I don't fit the patterns either. And, my winter baby is my last kid - conceived when both hubbie and I were employed. So, no, we don't fit the trends discussed. But, it's still pretty interesting.

The pattern doesn't hold for my family either.

My bio parents weren't married, but I was born in the fall, not winter. (I was a New Year's baby, not a Prom baby Big Grin)

Very interesting. Rory was conceived the day after Thanksgiving and was an August baby. I tend to think, though, that people have sex more often when it's cold and dark, period.

My winter baby was supposed to be a spring baby. I thought I'd have a few months after going off the pill. But he surprised me. He still kinda does!

So I have one born in May, August and December. What does that say about us I wonder?
