HOW A CHILD IS BORN

These photos are not mine. I found them on Facebook posted by So Bad So Good and they hit me at first glance.

"Swedish photographer Lennart Nilsson spent 12 years of his life taking pictures of the fetus developing in the womb. These incredible photographs were taken with conventional cameras with macro lenses, an endoscope and scanning electron microscope. Nilsson used a magnification of hundreds of thousands and "worked" right in the womb. his first photo of the human fetus was taken in 1965."

The human body is indeed packed with incredible living machines only a miracle can totally explain and the roots of its true origin, faith. Science, on the other hand, is this magnificent aid that surrounds the universe to help us unravel its wonders bit by bit.

My gynecologist once told me that having a child is a miracle. It is not something we can just form by wanting it. She said, it must be accompanied by FAITH.

My husband and I have been wanting to have another child. It's been three months and he's going back abroad to work, still I couldn't get pregnant. I prayed that I'd accept whatever there is in store for us but we'll never stop trying. I'll never stop believing.

So you'll understand how fascinated I am upon looking at these pictures.

Wonderful, ain't it?..... I'm going to have another child if that is how the Grand Design of things dictate. Having a child is a blessing.
