My older daughter's birthday is November 16th. My due date was October 26 but was probably better for her to be born closer to Thanksgiving than Halloween. (Veteran's Day would have been a whole lot better at the time as I was quite tired of being pregnant by that point.) I always got into making elaborate costumes for the kids for Halloween and I would have been stressed out if I'd had to have a birthday party right around the same time.Wonderful news! Congratulations!! November is a great time to have a baby - right there between the end of the regular football season and the beginning of bowl games. The election will be over. Right around family holidays and gatherings! Just perfect in all ways! Somehow I think FaceTime and Skype just won't be enough for you - holding babies is the best. Girls are fun to dress, boys are fun to play with - all their noises and superhero costumes! Either way you're going to have a blast! Have you thought about what you want to be called? My mom is Grammy, the Ogre's mom chose Grandmother. edit: I just saw you will be Nana!
It didn't matter to me so gave my daughter the choice and she picked Nana as that's what my mom wanted to be called. I'd called my grandmother Grammie so Nana sounded a bit strange to my ears at first but eventually got used to it.
Oooo...if it's a girl I can make doll clothes again.
