Birthday Poll

[majwv8]

It seems we've had a lot of birthdays lately, so my math brain has me wondering the stats.

October 2nd!
I know I share a birthday month with colieann31

We are a July heavy house. DH, I and Lo are all July babies, as is my Dad. Cute story about birth months, you know those "what is your elf name?" things like put together your first initial and your birth month and get a new name? Well the last name was birth month and so DH, Lo and I all ended in "twinkle toes" and G (February) was something like, "gumdrop" and he started crying and asked if he could be "gumdrop-twinkle toes" so he could be part of our family. It was so cute and sad, we thought we were just doing a funny game at dinner!

Do we know if anyone shares a birthday? I know we have more than 23 people, so odd are we do.

January. It sucked as a kid. I was always jealous of my sister and her June birthday.

I'm January 9. My sister's birthday is July 4th. I always hated how everyone made a bug deal over her birthday and said that the fireworks were just for her. For the longest time I hated July 4th!

I was just annoyed because she got to do fun games outside and her party never got cancelled because of blizzards. FWP.

My birthday is May 13 and I often had snow on my birthday growing up.  We always seemed to get one last surprise blizzard just when we thought all the snow was done, and it always came close enough to my birthday that there was snow on the ground when I woke up on my birthday.

I'm sure G is going to start noticing this soon. His first week of February birthday is brutal (fortunately we lucked out last year as the ONLY day there wasn't a blizzard in Feb here!). Then his brother gets a pool party the week after 4th of July here, because we have a big party at the beach house in Canada for him on the 4th of July. Basically Lo's birthday is a 2 week summer party and G's will eternally be here at the museum I work at since I have free hall rentals. It's why I bought the bounce house, out of poor baby-making foresight guilt.

Feb 18. Explains why I love cool, layer weather.

This poll is so weird. Growing up there was practically no one in May, probably because half my family was born in September. So far this is basically the exact opposite.

We also have a lot of repeats. Out of about 50 people in my direct family 12 share their date with at least on other person and the last 3 babies have all been born on somebody's birthday. We also have brothers who were born three years apart on the exact same day.

If there are 23 or more people in a room, there's a 50% chance someone shares a birthday. If there are 70 people it increases to a 99% chance.

August represent! Nice to see it's so popular here!

I know it's definitely more common then people suspect but I think my family still might be overachieving in this category!

Halloween baby here! All of my siblings have birthdays around holidays. One brother is 4 days after Christmas, the other brother is 3 days after the 4th of July and my sisters falls on labor day every so many years but it's usually over the holiday weekend.

I'm April 17. my sister is June 10. She always had beautiful weather for a birthday party. I'm glad E gets nice weather for her birthdays. It usually rains or is still really cold in April.
My H is October 14th. We are kinda hoping this new LO arrives on his birthday. Not getting my hopes up though, because I went late with E.

A lot of DH's family either have May birthdays or October birthdays. E ended up a May baby, I am taking it as a sign that this one will be born in October.

[megaroo64]

August 17!

I'm pretty sure lioness13 and I are August birthday buddies.

[majwv8]

August took a commanding lead!
