If I could choose...

If I could choose the day this baby were to be born, I would pick May 1st, May 5th or May 14th. Even May 13th my due date would be neat. Only 5% of women deliver on their due dates! That would be neat.

May 1st is "May Day"

I love the month of May! Cliff and I got married on the 9th of May. It is a great month!

May Day, the first of May is celebrated around the world. It has a number of meanings. In many other countries it is a celebration of spring and the coming of summer. It is celebrated with many spring flowers. To communist and socialist countries, it is a celebration for the workers. In many countries it is celebrated as part of a one to three day holiday. Of particular note, it is not a national holiday in the United States, except in Hawaii where it is known as "Lei Day".

May 5th is "Cinco de Mayo"
It is the perfect day: Have my 5th baby on the 5th of May, 2006! 05 05 06! Would make for a good birthdate!

On May 5, 1862, the Mexican army defeated the French army at the Battle of Pueblo. This single military battle signified defeat of a European colonial power and a victory for the Mexican people. This single battle was the roots of Cinco de Mayo. What Cinco de Mayo has come to be is much more than one battle in the colonial history of Mexico. Rather, it has come to signify Hispanic and Mexican pride and a time to celebrate the rich culture. Today, this holiday is celebrated by Mexicans, and especially the Hispanic community in the U.S. It is a time of song, dance, partying, and in general a time to be proud to be of Hispanic descent.

May 14th "Mothers Day"
I have always said Mothers Day would be such a nice day to have a baby!

Finish off with my 5th baby on Mothers Day. I would love that!

I wonder if I will make it to my due date this time? I have never ever done that yet! Only the baby knows for sure!

I am so excited!
