Hey Ren, Natalie was born on the 27th, which is also her daddy's birthday. DH hated that his birthday was so close to Christmas, but what can you do?
I've decided to give her a few gifts in the middle of the year so she has something to break it up... (I tried just putting things away, but I couldn't help myself!) I think it's a good idea to buy things through the year and save them up for Christmas and birthday too, so that its not as expensive.
I know that DH will always make a big deal out of her birthday because he doesn't want her to miss out. So I'm not worried about the future. I reckon we might have an early birthday party for her in the school years, maybe every other year, so she doesn't miss out on that either.
In terms of the pregnancy, I didn't get annoyed by the questions. If you're pregnant you always get asked the same questions by everyone anyway, so what's one more? And in terms of staff, we had no complaints. Natalie was due on the 20th, and we began to talk about induction. If she hadn't have come on her own, we would've had to wait until New Years to be induced because of all the public holidays, etc. But that didn't bother me.
Hope it happens soon for you!
