Every time I talk to my wife, I learn more and more about this process. Our two little pre-babies passed the first checklist and went for genetic screening. This process apparently takes a while, and the pre-babies can’t survive that long outside the womb, so they freeze them until they get the green light and we’re ready to proceed.
When my wife told me this, I immediately imagined our pre-babies frozen in a block of clear ice like one of those mammoths in the movies. Some crazy expression frozen on its face, caught and preserved. I don’t guess pre-babies have faces or expressions yet at this stage. Although, my super-intelligent wife would probably tell me that they’re expressing genes and traits already…or some such overly-scientific explanation. Whereas, I choose to live in my imagination. An imagination where pre-babies are painted on cave walls, possibly being hunted by primitive man, or being love and revered. And besides this crude expression of life, we now have actual evidence frozen in time. Proof that pre-babies exist and did exist.
