Context: While we were trying to get pregnant, it was still unexpected when I actually found out we *were* pregnant!
Speaker 1: It was still so unexpected when my husband and I -- who were open to getting pregnant -- found out that we actually were!
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's excellent! Congrats!
Speaker 1: Oh, that was nearly 20 years ago ;-) But I'll always remember that Chicago day, Halloween, visiting the Shedd Aquarium with friends.
Speaker 2: Oh, lol. Did you get to see any sharks at the aquarium?
Speaker 1: The thing I most remember were the beluga whales. So beautiful, in their own weird way -- and a baby beluga had just been born. It seemed provident!
Speaker 2: Oh cool, yes that is very interesting. So how big were those whales in feet and the baby too?
