Interesting factoid for mother's day
More mothers give birth on Tuesday than any other day with an average of more than 12,000 births happening on the third day of the week. That's 16 percent more than any other day. This occurs because the majority of doctors do not schedule C-sections or inductions on the weekend. They are postponed until after the Sunday. And as most mothers know, giving birth can take some time, which is why there are more births on Tuesday than Monday.

1. Another factoid
Mother's Day is one of the top 3 days of the year for number and total $ of credit card transactions. The other 2 are the Saturdays just before Christmas. "Black Friday", the Friday after Thanksgiving, typically gets less.
