I developed a really interesting theory in 1995 and 96 about birth and death, too.
Andys grandma died first, in October 95 and I was at that time expecting DD1, so I said to Andy that I bet our baby will be a girl because his grandma was a girl. He just kinda laughed at me. Sure enough, we had a girl.
Then my dad died in November 95 and my sister was expecting her first baby, so I said I bet that one is a boy, because our dad was one. She had a boy - Ian.
Then Andys great-grandmother died and Andys cousins were pregnant, so I said that one is a girl because we've just lost your great-grandma. They had a girl - Katherine.
Then his uncle died aged only 68, and the cousins were expecting again, almost straight after Katherine was born, so I said they will have a boy because your uncle has just died. They had a boy - Zachary.
Then my grandmother had heart failure and was thankfully revived, but I was pregnant at the time and said to Andy, she will go back to God in a few months time and we will have another girl because she's female - I was right, she died later and I had a girl.
So I came up with the theory that when someone dies, someone of the same sex as that person is born into the family to balance things out.
Anyhow, sorry for rambling about nothing, and nothing to do with DB'ing - I am ill with a really bad cold and not working so trying to pass the time with pointless chit chat, LOL.
