Conversations from an IVF Family

Every once in awhile, the topic of reproduction comes up, as it did this morning. After watching a show about dinosaurs, I tried to explain the difference between mammals and egg laying creatures to Little G by using our dog (who had puppies shortly after coming out of the shelter and into rescue in October) as an example. I used the simplest of terms and of course he asked, "how?" (as in, how does one get pregnant?)

Cue crickets.

Mr. S chimes in and explains, "Well, when a mommy and daddy love each other, they go to the doctors and the doctor gets a dish..."

OMG, I have always loved Mr. S, but now my love has exploded into giant proportions! Is his explanation copyrighted? I would like to apply for an authorized use, or dissemination all around me....

Sounds like the makings of a great "Where do babies come from" book for kids :)

Excellent! I've been thinking about what I would do when my kids would be old enough to start asking these kind of questions and I do think this is the best answer!

Though not quite a kid's book on where babies come from, once in awhile G looks through this book we created:

Though I'm thinking it may leave more questions than answers at his age!
