On the flip side, my dd's late birthday hasn't felt like a disadvantage.

Actually, for insurance reasons, the ob/gyn suggested that we induce labor for DD 3 in late December.
I disagreed for a number of reasons. For one it seemed wrong, for another I was working in Wisconsin while the family was in NYC, and I couldn't get any vacay until January. I went to NYC for 2 weeks, the second being paternity leave. To get the leave, DD 3 had to be born in the first week of January. She was born Jan 3, I think a Thursday. I don't know if we would've induced pregnancy if she hadn't popped out in time.

As an ex birth pro (doula and taught childbirth classes), I think you were wise. Doctors act like an induction is no biggie but it has some pretty serious risks. Worth it for medical reasons. Not so much for insurance or tax purposes.

Begs to question I guess is why to question?
You guys have a target date?
You guys have a target date?
I hope we don't have a target date. LOL
I do have a daughter with a January birth date but the last thing we were thinking about was softball at the time.

I totally agree. My DD has a Dec bday also and having to play with girls that are almost a year older has made her a better player. I look at some of her friends who stayed down in 8u (Early Jan bdays) and see how much more DD has improved not only in skill level but knowledge of the game.

My oldest DD was born in August of 01. She started school late so she is a freshman this year..... and she just made a 16-18 team!! Doesnt really matter when they are born, if they put in the work they will be successful.
