“It’s now known that cells from a developing fetus cross the placenta, allowing the baby’s DNA to become part of the mother’s body. These fetal cells persist in a woman’s body into her old age…This is true even if the baby she carried didn’t live to be born. The cells of that child stay with her, resonating in ways that mothers have known intuitively throughout time.” – excerpt from lauragraceweldon.com (it’s worth the really quick read and explains it in “normal people” terms)
My dear friend Janeese sent me an article explaining that mothers carry their children’s DNA forever. Isn’t that neat? It gets better – Amelia and I both have Jack’s DNA, and the rest of our children will have (both Jack and) Amelia’s DNA.
It’s really comforting to know that physically, not just spiritually, a part of Amelia will be with me forever. And a part of her will be with the rest of our children. The way God has scientifically created our bodies just blows me away!
Alie this is so cool. :)
That is really neat. Maybe that explains why Carson is turning into a mini Morgan!
On a side note–I thought you ditched the binkies, even for playtime! Carson would be jealous of Jack right now….
Somehow the pacifiers never made it into our twelve-month toy box when we moved…
This is incredible! Wow, I really love that. Thank you so much for sharing!
I am so glad you liked it. I thought it was awesome as well.
Thats awesome!! What a great article and love your blog post. Hopefully someday i can meet your sweet Amelia. I know she has such a sweet spirit about her, and has much more work to do on the other side. What a blessing to have such a sweet spirit as a part of our family. You are wonderful!!
