birth day

Babycue is due to join us soon. Fortunately, if Babycue does not arrive on the predicted day (the 17th), there are many days in March that would still make us happy parents. Some days we like because of their personal significance, others because we like the number combinations, and still others just because. We would prefer an odd numbered day, because we were both born on odd numbered days in odd numbered months in odd numbered years. Here is a list of days and why we like them:

3/6/9 -- 3 is a magic number.
3/9/9 -- Smileycue was born on the 9th.
3/11/9 -- Smileycue's parents' anniversary, and a rock band (311) has claimed it too! This day is also a non-emergency number.
3/12/9 -- 3 is a magic number, but not as magical as 3/6/9.
3/13/9 -- Q's half birthday, and a Friday this year!
3/14/9 -- Pi, enough said.
3/15/9 -- Ides of March, Smileycue's grandma's birthday, and Q's cousin's wedding anniversary. Et tu, Babycue?
3/16/9 -- like John 3:16, except this is Babycue, not the Messiah.
3/17/9 -- this is the actual due date, and St. Patrick's Day. Babycue will have an Irish last name, so this is appropriate, and also cool since only 1 in 20 people are actually born on the day they are due!
3/20/9 -- a day for celebration, the first day of Spring!!!
3/21/9 -- Q thinks it is cool because it is sequential, and Smileycue thinks it is cool because it reminds her of a locker combination she had in Junior High.

Given our preferences, naturally this means BabyCue will be born on 3/10, 3/18, or 3/19.

So, it isn't too late to make your prediction...leave one in the comments, and tell us why that day is significant to you.

Addendum on the 11th--Full moon. More than one person has mentioned that babies come on full moons. We'll see.
