So while I was pregnant with Anna, everyone would ask when I was due and I would tell them: "August 2, but she's going to be born in July..." To which everyone would reply: "Why July??" So let me tell you why I wanted a July baby and why Anna was born on the perfect day.
First and foremost - what pregnant woman wants to go past their due date? I didn't, all my other babies had come early, and July sounded so much closer than August. So I made July my 'goal' - as if I could control when she really came...
Secondly, Anna was born on a Friday. All of my other babies were born on Fridays... Fun huh?
Finally, Anna was born on the 31 of July - I did get my July baby!! AND another pattern emerged. Everyone in our family has either a 1 or a 3 in thier birthday... Dad - 3 September, Mom - 10 December, Evelyn - 13 February, Samuel - 16 December, Hyrum - 11 May, Anna - 31 July...
So there you have it, no real reason for me wanting a July baby, other than wanting my baby sooner - but look at all the fun 'patterns' that came from her perfect birthday!

That's pretty neat! I picked Groundhog Day for Riis and got my wish. With Leonora I screwed up and didn't pick a date and then ended up having her almost 2 wks past the due date. That was so frustrating! I think I'll have to remember to always pick a date with babies to come.
