This is going to sound a little creepy, but babies fascinate me. I feel like I must provide readers with a disclaimer: I’m way too young and not at all ready to reproduce, but babies in general make intrigued in a very non-goo goo gaga way.
I don’t want to fawn over them, to make cooing noises or exaggerated facial expressions. My ovaries don’t ache when I hear one laugh- I just think they are, well, the shit. They’re phat. They’re a biological wonder. They make me marvel at the genius of human development and the intricacies of our composition.
When a fertilized egg becomes a baby, a miracle happens. Somewhere along the way, a soul is formed. It doesn’t matter if you believe this is a spiritual occurrence, or a scientific feat that we just don’t understand, it’s something sacred to all. People can make other people and embryonic development even holds the secret to evolutionary descent!
This is why I go crazy over ultrasounds and wish that there was a momma belly in the form of a transparent jar. I wish I could witness the exciting process.
What I’m crazy about is that hopefully one day when I’m ready, I’ll get to make one. Maybe then I’ll get it a little bit more. Untill then, I’m going to be the creepy chick who stares at babies when their parents aren’t looking (we’ve all done it), and pray that my sister gets knocked up soon like she wants to so I can stalk her pregnancy.
I think "a little creepy" fits rather well for various parts of this. I kid (pun intended). At my work (and when I was at school), there are constantly some pregnant women around me. Thus, I get to hear the gruesome details of the marvels of birthing and development quite a lot. Interesting, spectacular, and rather frightening, to be honest.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that if you spend time around pregnant women then it can actually make you more fertile and more likely to get pregnant? I thought this was pretty intense, as for me i love babies haha
