You've heard of famous people being "Born on the 4th of July".  Well March 30th is my birthday, which means I was conceived on the 4th of July. You can look it up.

I can only imagine that it was not a work day and....

On what interesting day were you conceived?

New Year's Eve, after a night of drinking. I along with another baby of a couple partying with my parents were conceived. She was born three weeks early.

I just know the days were being counted. I might also have been on time (no comments please)

I was born July 6, so I'm guessing early October. Perhaps Rosh Hashanah was late that year and my parents had a little too much Manischewitz?

My dog Annie's birthday is July 4. She was born in the Bahamas. How long is the gestation period for a dog?

My parents never had sex.... They slept in separate single beds....The immaculate conception took place on Thanksgiving 1943....The year of the steel penny....Tryptophan ( C11H12N2O2 ) from the Turkey somehow must have been involved. It's water soluble. Your dad's hat is the same hat my father wore when he was arrested by Elliot Ness.....he must have given it to Jack...52 Chances In One Pack.....67 Andover Road !! You were conceived at a 4th of July Fireworks show under the Brooklyn Bridge in a brand new Caddy !!

I think my parents called it an "accident" It was more like a train wreck after I started to grow up....they did not have another accident for 6 years....learned to drive I guess

Roughly mid-July, 1958. Which means that I was conceived on Martha's Vineyard. My late, great Godmother, Bernice Reed Baier Baier (she was married to two brothers-- not at the same time, of course!) was "An Islander", which is someone who was born on the Island and who had generations of roots there, and I asked her if being conceived there meant that I, too, was An Islander.

She smiled sweetly and said, "Well, dear, if it'd make you happy, I'll think of you as An Islander." She lived 92 years. My son is named for her second husband, Clarke. She was also a close friend (from Bryn Mawr College) of Katherine Hepburn.

To Anonymous who was conceived in a "brand new Caddy" in 1943, that's not possible. Production of civilian automobiles was halted in early 1942 after the US entered World War II. Also, the 1943 penny was actually made of zinc. -- Your pain in the butt Gotham historian.
