Just a Thought
by Lori Ramsey
Do you realize that the baby you
so desire is with you right now? In fact all your future children are with you
and have been with you since the beginning of your life. While you try to
conceive your precious baby – think on these things:
From the moment you were born – in fact from the moment your ovaries were formed
while you were inside your mother’s womb – all the eggs that you will ever have
were formed then. When you were born your ovaries were packed with the hundreds
of thousands of immature eggs – just waiting for you to reach puberty and then
one by one mature each and every month – waiting hopefully for that chance of
fertilization.
You have with you already ½ of your baby. Until that wonderful day when your egg
is fertilized, it will remain with you. Part of your baby is with you every
second of every day waiting on the opportunity to pop forth, mature and ready to
be fertilized by it’s other half – “Daddy’s sperm”. Just think – that little egg
is patiently waiting for that marvelous day when it can graduate from an egg to
an embryo then to a mature fetus to a mature baby ready to be born and dub you
officially “mother”.
When my children ask me where they came from (they are 5, 3 and 6 months) I just
smile and tell them they’ve always been with me. My son likes to talk about when
he was just an egg. Makes for sparkling conversation at the dinner table. This
always makes me smile, though.
I know at the time of trying to conceive, especially for you who don’t yet have
any children – it’s very disheartening to go through each month with no positive
results. I was once there myself. But believe me, the time will come when your
life will be consumed with your growing belly. Then after the “birth” day, this
trying-to-conceive time will be a vague memory and you’ll wonder why you ever
fretted about it. But then, you’ll scoop your precious little one up and plant a
big kiss on their fat little cheek and hug them tightly; forever thankful they
came into your life. Ah, the process is worth it – even the “getting there.”
Enjoy every moment of it!
