My baby is going to be born in July. Well, very late July or early August. And before you start, re-read the title. There is NOTHING wrong with having a summer baby!
1.) It's my favorite season of the year, so why wouldn't I want to share it with my little one?
2.) While it's hot outside, I'm much more likely to get outside and go for an after-work walk with the husband than those winter-baby-mamas are. Yeah, sure, you'll go trudge through the snow in 20-degree weather.
3.) It's easier for me to be nice to the belly. All the seasonal fruits and veggies I can eat! And the WBM's are stuck with frozen... or they're just skipping the veggies for some body-warming fast-food.
4.) I LOVE being a September baby, and this is because I get evenly-spaced celebrations, and thus, presents! Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Anniversary, My Birthday, and then Christmas. Year-round gifts! I can't help but pity the Christmas babies...
5.) Speaking of birthdays, you'll never be forced to invite your child's entire class to his or her birthday! Summer babies get to pick their true friends to go to the pool for their little cookout. No annoying kids that your child doesn't like anyway. And no searching for something indoors to do. Playground, park, pool, lake, ocean... there's a never-ending list of locales! Never will I have to say, "Okay, I guess we'll go to Chuck-E-Cheese." *shudder*
6.) Apparently, children born during summer months are HAPPIER, life-long! I have sources!
So, IN. YO. FACE. Do not pity me or my baby. We might be a little sweatier for a few weeks, but in the long run, we're happier for it!
