    My Grandad wants me to have mine on July 13th as that's his birthday.

    I was my Grandma's 55th birthday present, nearly 25 years ago. I'm hoping to have had my 20wk scan just before her 80th so I can tell her if she's getting a great-grandson or great-granddaughter :D

    I want my bump to come on our wedding anniversary/my late Gt Grandma's birthday, but hubby doesn't coz if it does it'll be having the middle name Hilda/Hildan after her :A

    Its just me with dates :o. I was hoping Poppy wouldn't arrive on my birthday which was a few days before she was actually born....and I quite liked the date 07.10.07 :D. Its my Mum's b'day on the 20th so maybe he will wait until then....but I'm certainly going to cross my legs on the 25th! :rotfl:.

    Anyone else have 2 turkey dinners on xmas day or is it just me n hubby that are so greedy? we go to my mums for lunch then his mums for tea (we always make sure we have plenty room coz his mum is a much better cook than mine;))

    SB I'm a bit number obsessed I used to wish I was born a day earlier coz I arrived at 22:22 on the 23rd would have been so much better if it was the 22nd!

    Night night gotta go now coz I'm sooo unable to keep my eyes open!
