Don't have that baby on 6/6/06!

[littlemama06]

That's what a waitress just said to me! WTF.why do perfect strangers think they can say anything to you just cause your pregnant. AFter the 6/6/6 comment another lady said, " you havent even dropped yet, you've got weeks to go"
ANybody else have perefect strangers say crazy things to them? Oh, and my dh thinks it wouldbe cool if dd was born on the 6th. I don't care when, I just want her here!

I think a 6/6/06 birthday would be neat.

I generally don't worry about my weight, pregnant or not pregnant, but by the time the FOURTH person yesterday asked me if I was having twins or triplets, I was about ready to smack the next person who asked me that. No one seemed capable of believing there's only one baby in there and yes, this is what a woman looks like at almost 39 weeks pregnant. We're big! That's how the whole thing works! Twins or triplets would be even bigger. I guess I wouldn't even mind so much, figuring it's easy to forget how big you are at the end of pregnancy, but when they all asked if I was positive there was only one in there . . . umm, yes, I'm quite sure, thanks. My body, I'm pretty familiar with it; my baby, ditto.

People are weird.

This is my second baby, so I've heard a lot. I've heard you haven't dropped, are you sure there's not 2 in there, wow, looks like you're having another big one. People will just about say anything--some don't get the boundry thing. About the 6/6/6 thing, just what the heck are we supposed to do about that? Like we have any control when our bodies go into labor. What will be will be.

[jillybeans]

sheesh ladies! don't you realize that if your baby is born on 6/6/06 that it might be the antichrist?!!! : : some people have the nerve.

(this is a joke incase you didn't realize)

[eco_mama]

I know. The baby will come when it's supposed to and if that's 6/6 then so be it!! I also think it would be kinda neat to have the baby that day but you'd NEVER hear the end of it!

Our local news ran a story the other night about women begging to induce to avoid 6/6/06. So my husband had to listen to me shout at the TV. We'll take her any day she wants, although 6/6 is my SIL's birthday, and we'd never hear the end of it if the baby stole "her day." Maybe these people should quit worrying, my SIL is already the antichrist.

We WANT a 6/6/6 baby, mostly its my sister who is freaking out about it. "The baby CAN'T come on Tuesday!!!!" So annoying. To me, its just a nice, even number!

Strangers keep giving me hospital and sibling bonding tips. "Give your daughter a doll so she can have her own baby to take care of." (As if she doesn't have plenty of dolls she's been taking care of since she was a baby herself) "Make sure she can come to the hospital to meet the baby as soon as possible, so she won't feel left out." I just tell them straight, "oh, we're having the baby at home and my daughter will be there... she's planning to help catch him." (As my 4 year old beams a proud big sister smile in the shopping cart.) I do enjoy the shock effect.

My dad was all consernd that i might go into labor on 6/06/2006 he hasent said boo about this baby other wise .:

[JZDmama]

I think it would be a hoot if my babe is born on the 6th. My youngest's name is Damien, so it would go well together.

People are so weird! I just ignore most strangers when they give me UNWANTED advice or comments!

I saw this on the news also! I was shouting at the TV too. I can't imagine being so afraid of number that you choose to become induced or have a CS before that date! This whole 6/6/06 thing is crazy.

We laugh about that date and how it would be cool if she came on that day. : 2 days after my mothers birthday! However, I don't think that's happening.

[Caroline248]

What I find ridiculous is the arrogance of us Americans...who are we to think that the Bible was based on OUR calender, a calender that was not even in existance then!!! I mean really, so we think that June 6th is universally the 6/6/06 thing....

~C~

I'm on another baby board where one of the June moms is planning on naming their baby Damien. It would be a big relief to her if the baby is NOT born on Tuesday. But hey, yah never know.

I have a very, very good chance of having the baby born on that day. My due date is tomorrow, but I wouldn't be surprised if she was born Tuesday. I think it's kind of cool, and I really don't think anyone will say anything except for, "Oh Cool" when she says her bday.

Momma this cracked me up! DH says the same thing, "No worries, nephew is already the anti-Christ."

Thanks for the laugh.

[ledzepplon]

I'm not part of this club, but I just had to but in since my b-day is 6/6. It's also the anniversary of D-Day, which I always thought was kind of neat, since it marked the beginning of the end of WWII.

I say to those who want to make something negative of this day. I do feel sorry for those kids born on 6/6/06, but only because of the silly remarks people will make--not because there's anything "evil" about the date.

BWAHAHAHAH! Oh I love that as well...... It's too bad I'm not pregnant and due close to this date....anyone who told me that I'd love to say that it's a boy we're naming Damian and he's due on 6/6.

That being said....I think the stupidest thing that got said to me (and I got a lot....remarks about my kitties drove me nuts) was literally 2 days before ds came. I had dropped about a month earlier and then people were remarking to me how I had dropped even more....a number of people! I had to admit that I was lower. Come church on Sunday and I was telling this lady how miserable I was but I had roughly another week to go and she tells me "Oh no dear, you haven't even dropped yet you've got a looooooooong way to go!" : : : : : You just don't say that to a heavily pregnant person, especially a first time mom who keeps hearing that first babies come late, not early or on time and she's soooo tired of being heavy and cranky!

[mom*of*6]

I hear some crazy things too. This is our 6th and I have been asked, ARE YOU CRAZY???? are they all from the same DAD??? DOnt you know what causes that??? Are you Mormon?? Are you Catholic????? why are you having another one when you have 2 getting ready to leave the nest? LOL

my answers to those are (in order)
yes, crazy in love with my kids
I hope so, But since I am crazy, WHO KNOWS?
yes, sex causes that
NO
Yes
because im used to having 4 in the house and the ones preparing to go off into the big world must be replaced, LOL

[MidwifeErika]

My husband would prefer that I not have the baby tomorrow, mostly because he doesn't want our kid to deal with people being stupid about it. It personally sounds nice to me because it would mean that I would get to be holding my baby tomorrow I am too pregnant to care about other people being silly.

[grace's voice]

MAN, I just remembered that the 6th was the anniversary of mine and the guy I dated all through high school, I didn't want to have the baby on that day till I got so excited about 6-6-6 I forgot! I was so gonna try to get the baby out that day too, now its been ruined for me!
