My First Meeting with Luck
I know that this is a weird question to ask, but have you ever talked to your parents about their pregnancy with you? Im not asking if you were illegitimate or anything lol just sometimes there are interesting stories. Feel free to share.
For example, I have a story. My parents were married for over a year before I came and they were very happy to learn that I was coming, but two months into the pregnancy my mother almost had a miscarriage, and was advised by all the specialists to abort me because my survival was so unlikely.
I asked my mother last year (while drugged up after having my wisdom teeth pulled lol) why she didnt listen to the Drs and abort me. I mean, she could have aborted and tried for a normal pregnancy. Instead she chose 7 months of bedrest with the odds against her. Its a totally irrational choice I thought.
She was kind of shocked at my question at first, and then she explained that she just wanted me to have every last chance. My mother has a lot of shortcomings as a parent, but this makes me so greatful to her. She really faught so that I could have a chance. When the time came, I came out weak but perfectly normal and healthy.
I guess that after I came, it wasnt really seen as a good idea for her to have kids again. I asked her if she wanted to have more children. She just said, "I want what I have."

Wonder if that's even a problem... I was squished and oxygen deprived. 
- where no one in the hospital could find him anymore! lol) - well it was pretty much up to me to do the delivery! ...and as our first took so long (30 hours in labor plus or minus a few - I've forgotten the exact count...they had overmedicated my wife against my explicit detailed instructions as she is overly sensitive to narcotic type drugs...and of course part of my fury at the doctor & staff - etc) - so when my wife started the contractions with the second we stopped at a Restaraunt to eat on the way to the hospital! 
)...new baby boy!!!!!
