On November 8, 2007, one week after I first knew my pregnancy, I came back to see the doctor. This time, I saw my little thing a little bit clearer than last time. It looked like a little chicken, with very vague shape of body and head (with my guessing).
The doctor could identify his/her arms and legs, but I could not tell from the screen. “Such a cute baby!” the doctor smiled. The little thing rolled to the other side of the socket while the doctor tried to identify him/her via ultrasound.
The little thing was only 2.18 cm long, no longer than my index finger.
And this little thing already formed a spine, heart, and arms and legs?
All of these began with a surviving sperm, out of the original hundreds of million sperms, after a blind, long, twisted journey, finally reached the waiting egg. Then, this single fertilized egg divides into two cells, then four, then eight, then 16, then hundreds, then thousands, then billions, and so on.
How do these billions and billions of many different kinds of cells know exactly who go together to form the heart, who together for the hand, who for the brain, and who for the spine…
It is just like a highly delicate and functional computer to reproduce itself from a single code…
Just how amazing God creates us…
I suddenly feel so blessed for everything taken for granted before. May God bless me to have a healthy, healthy and healthy baby!
