2. Baby Science: How to Conceive a Tennis Star and Other Procreative Miracles

We can’t help ourselves but to get a bit personal with the baby chapter. After all, as two of your authors (Andy and Kay) began writing this book, they had conceived a baby. And during the writing, Kay carried and gave birth to him. And he was raised through his first two and half years of life.

When it came time to write this chapter, the new parents were already heavily invested in the topic, and the research was exciting and highly relevant to the little farty beast in the bassinet next to their bed.

With that, dear reader, please meet Carter Devon Walker (see Figure 2.1).
