Tiny Miracles
There are so many tiny miracles in this world that pass us by - unnoticed - every day. Right down to the air we breathe and the smallest, softest snowflakes that fall gently from the sky. One of the most amazing miracles I've come to appreciate is how a baby is created from the smallest, microscopic entities inside of a woman... and how those tiny cells grow seemingly rapidly to form a baby... and then after birth they continue to develop into adults.
I look at my friends, family, co-workers, strangers, etc... and it really is amazing how we all were created from [essentially] the exact same process. Yet, we are all so very different. Humans have such interesting qualities that make us all alike, and still each one of us is incredibly unique. What a miracle.
Michael and I recently had 3-D ultrasounds taken of our son, who was just 22.5 weeks along at the time. Although we still have 3.5 months to go until full-term, we could see such precise details about our baby. Our tiny miracle. It amazes me that I can already see he has Mike's lips (which I think is a FABULOUS thing!). It amazes me that his body has developed so much already that he looks like a little person in there... the process of pregnancy makes me speechless at times, which allows me to stop and reflect on just how wonderful it will be to bring a child into this world.
Babies are miracles - there is just no way around it. I understand the medical and scientific process, but in reality, when you can watch it and experience it along the way, it makes you realize how precious life is. How precious a blessing it is to become a mother. I am so grateful for this opportunity to create a tiny miracle and parent him with my amazing husband.
When you experience a moment that makes you speechless, please stop and reflect on why it was so amazing. Perhaps you, too, have just experienced a tiny miracle.
