When you are not looking

Abby and I went to one of our friend's baby shower this past Saturday. (Just one day after our Pastor Brian welcomed their new baby boy into the family!)

During our 15 minute drive to church, Abby had baby on the brain :). She asked lots of questions about how the baby grows, what it feel like for the baby to kick, how do the doctors know if the baby is a boy or a girl (when they are all born with short hair!), and other random questions. After we talked about how babies grow in the mama's womb, how they are protected by the amniotic fluid, and the function of the umbilical cord in supplying the babies with all that they need... she wanted to know how they get in:

Abby: So... how do the babies get in the mama's tummy?

Me: God puts the babies in, Sweet Girl. God is all powerful and can do everything, right?

Abby: Yup, He can do everything.

Abby: (After a LONG PAUSE) Uuh... does He do it when you're not looking???

Me: Um.... Sometimes...
