Not so young anymore, he's 36; I'm not sure how old his lady is.  
In my book that's rather old to be having children but that seems 
to be the modern way of going about things.  They had trouble 
conceiving their first but a couple of rounds of IVF got them there 
in the end.  The one just lost was unplanned so that at least proves
that they can conceive naturally.  If another comes it will be a big
bonus, but que sera, sera.
