"Please don't make me do that again!"

Can I just say that I want to put on the breaks, but I am not because I don't want to go back to birth control. Is that lazy?

Pros and Cons of having a baby in certain months... My personal opinion.

Sigh... Well. It is now December and no luck. But I am over the whole bummed thing. Because I am still young and waiting a little bit longer is no big deal. I'm wondering if the man upstairs, knowing me and my life, was basically saying, not yet...

I have mentioned before I like to plan everything and timing means a lot to me. Every month for the last 7 months I look up which month and day it would happen. I have over thought (as Dustin said) the reasons each month would be good or bad.

Let me share some of the thoughts that have gone through my head... I have labeled the months according to how I feel they are seasons here in California. Haha.

SPRING (March-May):

(Pros)I always thought a spring baby would be perfect. It is right before the summer. I wouldn't be prego in the hot summer, I could dress the new baby is cute little summer outfits and the baby would be less likely to get a cold in the first few months. I have also heard (maybe a myth) that spring babies are smarter for some reason...

(Cons) Uh... During the summer I will most likely have leftover baby fat and won't look good in a bathing suit. Oh well.

SUMMER (June-August):

(Pros) I have loved my July birthday month. Everyone is out of school, it is warm, there are more outdoor activities to do for your birthday and it is easier to get together with family.

(Cons) It may suck to be pregnant during the summer and since everyone is out of school in the summer it might be hard to have people at your birthday since they are on family vacations.

FALL (Sept-Nov):

(Pros) You can hide your baby fat easier with warm layers in cold months. For that first year it the baby will be fresh and new to show them off during the holidays with family. Winter baby clothes can be just as cute as summer clothes in a different way.

(Cons) The baby might get sick easier since it is colder and everyone gets sick then. You will be fat and hot during the summer months. The kid will be limited to what they can do for their birthday. September is lame.

WINTER (Dec-Feb):

(Pros) Uh, don't have much for winter.

(Cons) It is cold. More likely for the baby to be sick. December just seems like it would suck to have a birthday. I think it is self explanatory. January is just boring. February... eh.

Overall, I need a warm, not a hot or a cold one, but warm month to have a baby in. A month where their birthday won't suck the rest of their life. And a way to use the box of baby clothes I have pre-bought without thinking that certain months, I can't use those size of clothes. Didn't think that one through... Oops.

Writing the basic thoughts I have had about this helped me decide if I want to put on the breaks for a few months or keep trying. Even though we're really not trying that hard...
