How Babies Are Made

One of the girls staying with us through Safe Families asked out of the blue this morning, "How do babies get into their mommy's tummy?" I said, "That's a great question to ask your mom! Ask her how your baby brother got in her tummy."

I thought I had avoided an awkward conversation, and then Nate declared proudly, "I know how!" I gulped, unsure of what was to follow. "God PUT the baby into your mommy's tummy!" He then continued to explain that every child was put in their mom's tummy by God.

I guess our memory lessons on Psalm 139 left a lasting impression! :)

¹³ For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

¹⁶ your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
