A Date to Remember
I saw a story in the news the other day about a lady that had her fourth child on July 7. Not newsworthy you say? Let me repeat that: The lady that had her FOURTH child ON July 7! In other words, all four of her children were born on July 7.
Hummm...doing that math...there must be something significant about early October for this lady! Anniversary? Birthday? HUSBAND’S BIRTHDAY? Or perhaps she just likes to celebrate the cooler weather of fall in the best way possible. I worked with three guys that had birthdays on the same day in mid-November – that’s 9 months after Valentines Day BTW.
My son was born in early April. No real significance to his conception date best I can recall. Though that it happened in July, during the Florida heat, does add fuel to my contention that he was conceived on the steps of our backyard pool. Add to that the fact that when he was young it was a real challenge to get him to get out of the pool. Clearly a water-baby!
Doing the math, any significance to your birthday?
How about the birthdays of your children?
What is the largest number of people you know that share a birthday?

Mine is just easy to remember - 9/9/66!
I have 4 relatives that were born on August 24. Sister, step-brother, and 2 great nieces.
Your parents found shelter from the January cold it seems.
FOUR on the same day! Your family knows how to celebrate Thanksgiving in a GREAT way apparently.
I'm October, so maybe there was a snow storm in January? LOL
My kids - Baby 1 conceived on Cowboys birthday. Baby 2 - bad timing. Baby 3 - Cowboy said, What's one more? And he decided a baby was better than wearing a condom. Also bad weather in January, LOL. Baby 4 was immaculately conceived. We had bought the farm and I was running myself ragged trying to get it into shape while caring for a tiny baby plus 2 older kids. Nobody even remembered having sex. Maybe it was on the bar of soap? LOL
Mmmm I think I just know of two per birth day ....
#4 - I knew all those toys of yours would have an effect at some point!
My sister and I were both born in mid August so I suspect the cooler weather in Kansas led to some snuggling perhaps? My children were very purposely conceived in the mid and late summer with the intention of having spring births. The first time we just pulled the goalie and hoped for the best (resulting late May birth). The second time, I had read a book about fertility following several friends having issues and was tracking my basal temp out of curiosity. Honestly, I was tired from working full time and caring for a toddler and wasn't feeling his "you wanna?" but knew I was likely ovulating. I thought "ugh ok if you can be quick". Lucky for me I had been tracking things as there was some bleeding but the temp kept going up when it should have dropped. I was able to get to the doctor and verify the pregnancy and she came end of March. Funny enough, two of our close circle of friends have children on the same day as my youngest (one a year old and one a few years younger). I do have a friend that has 4 children and they have two birthdays. One set of twins. One that was born on her older sister's birthday.
Hummm, does your close circle of friends have some fun parties that time of year that could explain all the children born on the same date?
"pulled the goalie" - 🤣
@CleavageFan4U no parties or other reason mid to late July was popular for fornication... just dumb luck.
@CleavageFan4U oh and forgot... hubs and one of his college roommates were born on the exact same day... they host a big party each time they hit a new decade...30, 40, 50... always thought that was kinda unique.
@CL_Love Yeah, that sounds fun.
I wonder if Dolly Parton (who has the same birthday as me, month/date, NOT year ðŸ˜&euro
would like to party with me on OUR birthday.
We've got a lot of April birthdays, which back up to July I guess. So, summer babies. My two girls are in early June, which backs up to September...my birthday. Other than that, the only same date that I knew was not a birthday but an anniversary. My parents and my brother's in-laws had Nov-18 as their anniversary. I thought that was interesting.
Sounds like you really liked to celebrate your birthday! ðŸ˜
@CleavageFan4U Nothing better than birthday sex.
One of my tasks at work was maintaining a log of pregnancy due dates. I remember one May having an extraordinary number of babies due. The August that everyone would have gotten pregnant during had been an extremely hot month. I did ask one of the patients how she managed sex during horribly hot weather. Really good AC!
My birthday and my youngest brother's are in May. I'm guessing those hot August nights get the horniness going.
I do remember some sweaty sex from my time in Florida.
My birthday is early October so I always assumed that some revelry went on after a New Year’s Eve party (and that the pregnancy then went a few days past nine months).
Sounds likely to me.
I must have been conceived in October and my brother in September. Clearly my parents had sex only in the autumn!
Well, I don't know about "only" but maybe with the cooler weather they got especially frisky and forgot about protection.
