Where did I come from?" the baby asked its mother. She answered, half-crying, half-laughing, and clasping the baby to her breast: "You were hidden in my heart as its desire, my darling. You were in the dolls of all my childhood games. In all my hopes and my loves, in my life, in the life of my mother, and in her mother before her, you have lived."
--Rabindranath Tagore

Well, I just did not know it was so complicated. I read these articles and think I wonder why any of us get pregnant.

I know...it's pretty daunting. It just seems like naive young drunk thangs make the perfect combo somehow. The odds for the rest of us seem hardly in our favor, yet we're showing them it's possible everyday.
