Being an expectant father -- gulp -- prompts myriad questions.
Here's one I've been considering for a few weeks: Is it normal, upon learning that a couple is expecting a child, to inquire whether the expectant parents "were trying" to get pregnant?
Several people -- relatives, friends -- asked us that question after learning Anni is pregnant. (They all were excited and happy for us, for which we're grateful, but each time that question lingered long after the "congrats" and impromptu celebrations.)
I don't get it. Are there that many surprise first pregnancies among married couples in their late 20s who've been together nearly a dozen years?
Just curious.
