More newborns arrive during the late summer and early fall months of July, August, and September than during any other time of the year. It makes sense if you think about what happens nine months earlier in most of the country — the weather gets colder and people spend more time indoors with their sweeties. Also, some people plan their baby's birth to coincide with summer vacations, especially teachers and other people who get summers off. August had the most birthdays in 2005 at around 369,000, and February had the fewest at about 310,000.
I can't imagine being pregnant during the hottest part of the summer, though! Although, there really isn't much else to do during the long winter in these frigid climates. Ha, ha.
I picked Jim up at the airport Friday night around 7:30, we stopped by and picked John, Kelsie and Dixie up and we headed to Ortonville, despite the many warnings about the possible bad weather. On Saturday, we had Christmas Lunch with Granny and we headed out of Ortonville at 3pm. No bad weather either way. Today, however, is a different story. It is raining here and it is -6 with a -35 wind chill in Ortonville right now with white out conditions. Glad we left yesterday! The rain here is supposed to turn into snow in a couple of hours, which is never a good thing. Hopefully we can all sit tight.
Kristine and Grace are coming over today to decorate gingerbread houses with Becky, Austin, Jim and I. John, Kelsie and Dixie are over, too (the Vikings play at 3pm!). Should be a fun day.
