>why is it an immediate cut to gay? Why not bisexual? Clearly you have a girlfriend. Not saying you are gay.

I'm not gay but a lot of gay people are in straight relationships out of pressure, or because they think that's what's right, and apparently my girlfriend thought that's the deal with our relationship. I tried to explain to her that I was straight, but from her point of view, it was pretty damning evidence.

My parents had me in their late thirties.

Sometimes I'm a little sad that I won't have as much time with them as I would if they'd had me when I was younger.

But it was the right choice for them, and ultimately better for me. They were stable in their thirties in a way they weren't in their 20s. If I'd been born earlier they would have had to take care of me in grad school and we would have had to move every few years. And there would have been a huge financial strain. My mother probably would have had to give up her career, which would have been hugely unfair to her. I'm glad that I didn't cause them so much stress and problems, and I'm sure my childhood was better for it.

Congratulations! Cherish this memory since it is wholly yours and original to boot! (More than the original plan would’ve been! ;) also, good luck with the upcoming baby!

I remember my wife having to sit down on the kitchen floor after the first pregnancy test. It was her first month off the pill and she was sure we were going to wait six months before she got pregnant. Our second child happened just as quick! Sometimes things just click!
