I love that poem. I’m a Friday and so are both my kids. My husband is a Thursday (aha! that explains him!). I have yet to come across anything that claims to predict personalities in any way that doesn’t warn us away from each other. But if I listened to that crap I wouldn’t have these 2 loving and giving babes, so I say to heck with it. Even on the bad days.

Hi! Wednesday child here, Virgo, given name meaning “sorrow.” That’s a combo worth avoiding.

My daughter, Pisces on a Saturday. My son, Gemini on a Wednesday. He’s a happy kid, & many people – even strangers – have guessed he is a Gemini.

I thought about that rhyme, too, when my c-section for my daughter was set for a Wednesday morning. But, she does not seem to be habitually full of woe – though I will say that whatever emotion she does feel, she is full of, so every once in a while she is full of woe, but briefly. She is a Taurus, as is her dad. I’m a Scorpio, a Friday baby, and I too like knowing that kooky swami stuff. :)

Two members of my immediate family were born on 9/10 and 9/11 … and I can promise you that although things were subdued for a while there, it just makes us ever more grateful to have them.

I was born on a Good Friday. Which meant that, often, the night before my birthday, everyone in my small Southern town went to church and mourned the death of Christ.

Not the most auspicious of beginnings. But — and I say this as a scientist and an astrophysicist — I can guarantee you that birthdate is not predicative of future happiness.

(Nor is predicative a word. Sorry about that. Don’t tell your Writers Conference friends, okay?)

Wow,girl, this is something. Moira, my most insane child, LOL, (actually just stubborn and Type A) was born on a Thursday (1st). Liam, a Friday (5th) and Finnian, the 30th – tomorrow, in fact. This post was thoughtful and interesting, and what will be will be…but gosh, I don’t know which date to hope for, for you now! You are rockin’ sister!

Interesting, I have no effin’ clue what day of the week I was born. Hang on. (Google) Wednesday! There ya go. Fuck that. Hang on for a Thursday, I say.

Bella was a Thursday, but perhaps more significantly, a Leo like her father. And I tend not to put too much credence in the stars, but damn if they’re both not to a T.

Maddy was a Monday, died on a Sunday night. I hate them both now, that turn from weekend to week. Should have been a great start, and what a miserable finish.

And hey, I’m sorry about the complete grammatical mess and general incoherentness of that post – James was fussy all day and I’m rushing to get some blog time in while he’s (briefly) under someone else’s care.

I set great store by astrology, I have to admit. Michael and I are both Tauruses and we’re pretty textbook… as is my bouncy Leo son Isaac, who was born on a Friday who is indeed loving and giving. But James was born on a Thursday and has he far to go? Well, I suppose when he’s trying to crawl and can’t he’d say yes, but… meh.

Also Michael’s birthday is on the 13th, so he has had several Friday the 13th birthdays. He claims they’re lucky.

Pre-obsessing about birthdates and what they mean is the prerogative of pregnant crazy people. Whatever day she is born, will be the best day for her.

Never mind the rest, I think that early September is not so good because of the school thing.

But at this point, I think you just have to do what you gotta do. and be happy with it.

I have no idea what day of the week me or my children were born on. How strange!

I take that back, I do think KayTar was born on Wednesday morning, because that night I watched an American Idol results show in my hospital room. She might keep me on my toes, but she definitely isn’t full of woe. She is QUITE a delight, really, people warm to her instantly and she’s even cheerful when very ill.
