My son was due on Halloween as well, but he wasn't waiting, he escaped early. 10/17.
My daughter was due 11/17, the doctors were planning an early c-section for her, but since Halloween was on a weekend, it was not an option. I went trick or treating with my other 2 children for 2 hours, she still would not come out.
Instead, the CSection date was 11/3. Now every election year I always confuse the babys bday with Election day. My teenager keeps telling me "Maaa, she was born 11/3 not 11/4".And thats twice it happened to me.
