The possibility if being pregnant in the heat of summer was a factor in deciding when my wife and I were going to try and get pregnant.

We joke that our daughter was calculated on a spread sheet (Excel if you're curious) but my beloved really did sit down at the computer and calculate a" window of opportunity" of getting pregnant and having the birth occur close to the beginning of summer (avoiding the heat with a bun in the oven, and to coincide with my semester off from nursing school.

The plan worked pretty well even with the offspring coming 6-weeks early.
