Walter Shandy Timeline and Summary

Mrs. Shandy interrupts her husband during sex, and his sperm goes astray.
Because the last pregnancy turned out to be fake, Walter insists that Mrs. Shandy give birth in the country.
He also insists that Dr. Slop use the forceps to extract Tristram, because he's convinced that natural birth injures babies' brains.
While Tristram is being born, Walter sits downstairs talking to Yorick.
Walter finds out that Tristram's nose was broken and flings himself on the bed in despair.
Because he's not dressed when Tristram is being baptized, he tells Susannah to get the priest to name the baby Trismegistus, which she mangles.
Walter tries to determine if Tristram's name can be changed.
After his older son Bobby dies, he writes the Tristram-paedia to take charge of Tristram's education.
He goes to Europe with Tristram.
