April/May if it could be a sure thing.
-
September - I'm a teacher and taking a full school year off Sept-Sept with the summer before to prepare is pretty much ideal
-
I have a May baby and loved that I was able to bring her out and about as a newborn in the summer without worrying about cold/flu season. She flew to visit family at 6 weeks old and we took a few road trips after that also. I would love a Spring baby but we'll be grateful for any month for #2!
-
I think late Spring/early Summer would be nice. I wouldn't have to be pregnant during the hottest time of the year, I wouldn't be sat inside with a newborn all winter and the baby would be inside the cut-off for the school year.
-
I wouldn't have picked it but ended up with two in January and other than it messing with Christmas plans, it has worked out well for me. Helps I got lucky with weather the first time and now we live in tx where we already have some nice weather so I'm not trapped. I generally love being more pregnant in the winter. My ideal would probably be feb or March as my complaint with January is having birthdays right after Christmas - makes for a ridiculous amount of gifts at once.
-
My first was a May baby, second will be April. I like having a newborn in the warm weather months since I hate being cooped up and bored.

My oldest was born in October and started daycare in January and got sick the first week he started. My second was born in April and didn't get sick until December.
I really enjoyed having an April baby for that reason and weather wise it was a great time to be on maternity leave and enjoy being outside.

My first LO was born in March. I'm a teacher and it worked well because my maternity leave led straight into summer vacation. I have no regrets!
However, I'm hoping that baby #2 will be a winter baby. My reasons: I felt trapped at home due to breastfeeding for the first few months. If it's a winter baby, I'll be perfectly content to sit on the cozy couch and nurse all day. Also, I have a long commute that involves buses, trains, cars, and subways. I'd love to avoid that commute for a few winter months when it's particularly difficult. I can't imagine dealing with it while pregnant in the winter.
So I'm hoping that LO #2 can arrive in winter. I'll have to deal with childcare for about 8 weeks in April and May, and then I can be home with a 6 month old when I start summer vacation. At that point we can all go to the pool, beach, and be out of the house for longer stretches of time.

If we have a second, sometime in the Spring. I'll be back teaching so a longer maternity leave. Plus, I love the idea of skipping flu season until s/he is old enough for a shot.
-
Overall I don't think any time of year is that bad, but I guess if I could choose I'd pick spring, like March or April.
-
I've always liked the idea of a spring baby- April/May means you aren't pregnant in the summer which was pretty miserable with my July baby. For time off reasons October is up there also, because Id be off during the holidays. Really aside from the heat having our first in July worked out really nicely with time off and I think her birthdays will always be fun.
.... All that basically adds up to I don't have a strong preference I guess =P

We're hoping for March/April/May to coinside with DH's summers off (teacher) at the end of my maternity leave. Hopefully it works out but understandable if it doesn't!
