Not sure about this one. Being I was born 10 months after my older brother, I want to say I was a surprise. But my mom had 6 children, so who knows!!

As my mother says, I was a "pleasant surprise". Dad was 40 and she was 34. (In the 60's, woman were usually done having their children by then). My sisters were 7 and 9.

Re: SPINOFF: Do you know if YOU were....

I have an interesting story. I was a long awaited surprise.

After my mom gave birth to my sister in 1968, she stopped ovulating....for 10 years. She tried fertility drugs, and didn't concieve.

In 1978, my parents had the opportunity to adopt, and chose not to. My sister was 9 years old at the time, and they decided they were content with just having one child.

Fast forward to April 1979...surprise!! Chat Icon Chat Icon

ETA: Before I knew all this, I used to wonder if I was an accident b/c of the 10 1/2 year age difference between me and my sister.

As far as my mom has shared, both my brother and I were planned. She had a miscarriage inbetween us, too.

She has actually told me a lot about how she was on the pill and how she came off and within a few months she got pregnant.

a little bit o' both. my mom wanted a baby so badly but was totally not expecting me when she did. she was 23.

my mom on the other hand was a TOTAL surprise. my grandparents got married in july of 1953. apparently my grandmother counted wrong with her cycle (hence the negatives of the rhythm method) and mom was born 10 months later. oops. Chat Icon

My parents had a rough time trying to have a kid. My mom had multiple miscarriages over 4 years and they decided to pursue adoption. They had just made an appointment with an adoption lawyer when she got pregnant with me.
