Also, I really wanted to experience the biological process of pregnancy. Not because I am some Earth Mother type (ha!), but more in a weird biology sort of way. Like a mad scientist, experimenting on myself.

We keep telling people it's the ultimate home science experiment :)

It's really a remarkable process. And simultaneously the best argument against "Intelligent Design" I know (as in "Hey God -- You thought it was a good idea to do WHAT??").
