We'd only been married a year and a half when I decided we should begin trying to get pregnant, which, now that I look back on it, was nuts. I should have waited till I was well into my 30s before either marriage or kids, but no. Anyway, I went off the Pill and gave that three months to get out of my system, and my husband decided for the benefit of his progeny, he'd switch from briefs to boxers. He had an 18-hour stretch away from his residency program that first weekend we were clear to start trying, and that was all it took. I'll never know if it was his underwear change or not. Probably it was the fact that I was just barely 24 and at peak breeding age. Anyway, that's how we got our son.
Ha, I did the boxer thing too. But I was 33 and my wife 31. Just wondering, did you smoke during your pregnancy? To me that sounds far more risky than the Dad smoking beforehand.
