yup.
Could players and their wives also not time these things a bit better - ie use birth control so that your kid is born during the off season? If you play for Winnipeg, you know you are free from mid-April until September so that's a prime time to target for kids to be born.
HAHAHA I was thinking the same thing! Like why wouldnt you plan births for August? lol
In the past i would of agreed with you until my wife and I started having kids. We are very fortunate and it was easy for us to get pregnant (knock on wood). What we quickly found out from many of our friends is that we were very lucky. A lot of our friends have had a difficulties getting pregnant. In some cases it has taken months and in some cases it has taken multiple years. We also learned that this is not that uncommon from our doctor.
So there is a chance that Ladd family might of tried to plan having the baby during the summer but it just didn't work out that way.
Having a child really changes your life for the better imho. I'm happy to hear the Ladds added a new baby to the clan and I wish them all the best!
Go Jets Go!
