[quote=Anonymous]DC1 was due December 31, DC2 is due late July/beginning of August.  Pros of winter - more comfortable to be pregnant temperature wise, by the time it was hot out, baby was old enough for sun screen and bug spray (~6 months), when it was cold, we could still bundle up and get out a lot of the time, baby was born early so DH had a little extra paternity leave since his office is closed for week between Christmas and NYE.  Cons of winter - flu season, hard to push a stroller when it's snowy/icy.  Pros of summer - not flu season, will still be on leave in the fall when weather cools down and hopefully we can go on lots of long walks, I get basically an extra week of maternity leave because of all the holidays (Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving).  Cons - when it's 90 degrees our outdoor options, even walking in a stroller, are extremely limited, being at the end of pregnancy is a lot less comfortable in the heat and I don't even want to go on walks when it's so hot out so I'm personally exercising less this pregnancy.

Also, and this is probably more specific to us, but a lot of family isn't local.  They all want to come to meet the baby and we would love them too, but especially with Covid, want to wait till the baby is at least 2 months which means all the nieces and nephews will just be getting back to school so it's probably going to push off family visits for even longer.
