I didn't know how babies were made until I was pregnant with my fourth child.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I used to think about how I was conceived quite a lot when I was about 10 or 11, but I don't think about it at all now that so many other babies have been born in the same way.
I had friends of mine tell me they had a baby, and I didn't even know they were pregnant.
It takes three to make a child.
Before my first child was born, I had nothing going on professionally really, and it's been a very blessed period of creativity for me since he arrived. It's very surreal. It's almost as if the babies are out there pulling strings somewhere, deciding what kind of life they want to be born into.
When the babies were very young, I found it difficult to write. I told myself each time that it would be different, I was used to it now, but with every child, for the first four months, I would accomplish nothing.
Prior to having babies, I thought - I thought I was so busy, and now I realize just how ignorant I was.
Does anyone ask their parents how they are conceived?
Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children, and no theories.
I am the fourth of five children, and I can't remember a time with no babies in the house.
Before I married, I had three theories about raising children and no children. Now, I have three children and no theories.
