Wow, how did that happen? ;-) Happy 3-month birthday Christopher!

I'm so glad to hear things are better for you. (And I will keep that 10
week mark in mind to help get myself through any rough spots ahead...)

I know, I can hardly believe it myself.

Yup, just remember that it DOES get better!

Aww! Sweetness! Happy 3-month birthday to Christopher! Does it feel weird at
all to you to see the March edd's on this group now & think, "hey! Three
months ago *I* had a March edd!"?

Thanks for sharing your nice post :-)

Well, there seems to be something about March for my clan! My brother
became a Dad in March of last year, my DS was born March 8, '03, and I
recently learned that my DH's youngest brother is expecting a baby *next*
March. :)

I've noticed that it seems like there are often "popular" months in
families. In my family-of-origin, it is March & May. In the extended family
including DH's family, it is July. We're "breaking out" by having a Sept.
(or Oct. I suppose) baby :-)

Ooh! That *would* feel weird! It feels somewhat odd to me to see people who
are due in January now, since I found out I was pregnant in January, so I
can only imagine how it will feel once Sept. is three months past & new
Sept. edds are showing up! Makes the years seem *way* too quick!

(Btw, I lurked on this group when you were pregnant with Julie--towards the
end. It doesn't feel like it has been three years! :-)

Funny thing--my brother just called me this afternoon to let me know that
they're expecting their second baby. . . . . Due next March! :)

Between 26 Aug and 15 Oct I have to deal with birthdays for: Dad,
brother's fiancee, my two brothers, MIL, Mum, DH, and two small
cousins. Between 15 Nov and 9 Jan there's three of my grandparents, one
of DH's grandparents, three cousins, my godson, my best friend, SIL,
FIL, three aunts, and two uncles. Within 9 days in May there's me and
DH's two brothers.

Small Clanger and other SIL are the only two July birthdays in all the
huge extended family on both sides (and that's assuming SC isn't
*allowed* to get as far as August - 1 August would be 41+6 and I'm
definitely being induced before that!), and SC will be the only "birth
member" of either family in July.

It's funny that you mention that. DD, me and my father all have April
birthdays. Brother's fiancee (yipee!, they finally got engaged) is close,
with a March 30 birthday.
