I had a conversation this week with a colleague about whether or not our core characteristics change as we journey from conception to adulthood. He told me that his sister’s first pregnancy was uncomplicated and relaxed, the baby arrived dry-eyed and calm, soon slept through the night and has now grown into a laid back
