   Several people predicted a baby boom exactly 9 months from the winter storm.

   So...uh, anyone else besides me expecting in August/September? :)

    Congratulations everyone!

    Christmas of 1957 must have been a chilly one in West Seattle, (or, my Dad got my Mom a nice gift ;-) ) because, September 26 of the following year, I was born!

    Ha ha!! Congratulations, all! We got a head start before the snow flew and expect a visit from the stork in May...so we'll have some gently used baby clothes to pass on by late summer!

    And if these sweet babies are due in August; forty weeks back is before our first snow storm. Best to blame it on Thanksgiving, L-tryptophane or too much Veterans Day celebrating.
    (It could happen!)

    I always joke that I was a Thanksgiving conception (a miraculous one at that) because I was born in August.

    Nice RainyDay, I had that mentioned to me as well! It will be interesting to see when we both go!

    I'm sure someone must have pointed out to you both that 09/07/09 is Labor Day. Traffic across the bridge will be lighter on that day if you are planning on a hospital birth.

    Labor Day is a great day to have a baby! One of the easiest births I've ever attended happened on Labor Day.

    I think the statistics are something like 5% of babies are born on their "due" date. If you're pretty sure of your conception date you can get a more accurate due window. Of course, with all those snow days, it might be hard to be sure! ;) Early ultrasound measures are pretty accurate for predicting an accurate due window too.
