I was trying to reference what happened 9 months before the birthdays, ie., in September/October!!! Get it?

Gestation period for human babies??????

Wow, and some of you had more fun with that than others!!! Whew hoo!

I was JUST discussing this w/ my bf! We recently went to a party where there were about ten 6-month old babies. I was scratching my head wondering if these couples planned to be pregnant around the same time.

Then my boyfriend said it's a fact that many people have the same birthdays than not due to "special ocassions," like their parents might have "gotten busy" on Valentine's Day, a customary day to be romantic, resulting in tons of births nine months later, in October.

You'd think you would have a 1-in-365 chance of having the same birthday as someone, but the chances are more like 1-in-65 (I forget the real number he told me) due to circumstances like the one I mentioned above.

Did you see the Oprah where she gave a baby shower for like 200 or 300 expectant mothers on a Army base in the south? All of these women were due within a few weeks because 9 months before all of their husbands came home from duty in Iraq! It was so wonderful!! Alright, I'm getting teary-eyed just thinking about it...
