So, you all know I'm pregnant. REALLY pregnant. Like can't bend over, can't sleep, can't move pregnant. It sucks. Anyway, I'm due on the 19th...still 2 weeks away (oh kill me now!). At my last appointment, my doctor asked if it got to the week of my due date if I would like to be induced. Hmmm? Yes, in fact I would. Now here comes the dilemma. Gwen's birthday is the 18th. I told my doctor to schedule me for that day. The 18th. Here's my reasoning and here is why my mom thinks I'm lazy and mean. I don't want to have to have 2 birthday parties. I'm not that nice of a mom. My kids aren't that lucky. I'd rather have one birthday, one party, one day of ripping my hair out. My mom (but not only my mom, everyone else that I've told) thinks I'm evil and that my children will be the next antichrist if they don't get their very own day of cake and presents, heavy heavy hang over and such. So, now I'm wondering. Am I mean? Am I lazy?
So, Morgan and I have decided that at my next appointment (on Friday), I'm going to ask to be induced on the 13th. Friday the 13th, instead of the 18th. So, will this child be evil either way? Be neglected, or be brought into the world on Satans day. My mom is superstitions...not only is it an odd day, but it's Friday the 13th. Sorry Mom. Jason Voorhees my ass.

holy crap is it that time already!???!!
I have no qualms about Friday the 13th. Her birthday won't always be on Friday the 13th. My kid was born on Wednesday the 13th and his 2nd birthday will be on Friday the 13th. Who cares?
However. I'm kind of with your mom on the dual birthdays. They'd always resent each other for not having their own day which translates into more work for you breaking up fights and the like.
I say, the sooner the better. If he'll do it the 13th, than you freking do it.
I'm indifferent about the shared birthdays.
So, this is McL's superstitious, overbearing, mother. Really, if the baby WANTS to come on Friday the thirteenth, that is fine with me. I just think she should have her own day unless she is a twin or it happens naturally....then there is nothing we can do about it...but to choose the same birthday as a sibling is just wrong! I love you Kelly Baby!
I totally would have picked the same birthday too! Guess we're from the same lazy mold. So much less work. You'll save yourself, what...like 18 parties...sounds like a great plan to me.
I love it! Ronny has the 13th as his birthday and his soul is pure evil, but she can fight it!
I think the same birthday thing is pretty cool, but I would have two cakes and stuff so maybe it would be absolute hell. Either way, it will be awesome!
Why not V-day? Then at least if she is homely and has no boys to give her gifts she will still get presents!
I need the spelling of her name ASAP!
that is a dilemma. i, also, am lazy and mean and would think that was a grand idea to have both birthdays on the same day. but...i know how kids are and especially girls. it sounds you like you will have too much drama if it's the same day.
maybe the second kid being born on the 13th would rid the world of nymphomaniacs in the woods?
*to prove that i am mean, izzy is crying in her crib cuz she doesn't want to nap at all today. i refuse to let her win today.
We graduated on Friday the 13th...Marisa was induced on the 13th (not a friday)... personally I think you (and your munchkin) will be fine. Marisa has been my sweetest child, so here's to hoping for the same for you!
PS: Good luck!!!
