I don't think so, but I also don't think I was entirely unexpected. I'm also told that I was never expected to be an only child (not that I was expected to be a twin). I don't think I was planned, as my parents are very meticulous planners and for them to plan to have me as my mother was slated to finish her dissertation seems unlikely.

As for the story about your husband's family-- yikes. It would make sense to me to start a family under those circumstances too.
