Corinthians brought me this book, Being Born, and it has amazing pictures of fetal development. It's written as if to a baby, and it has this to say about how you got started.
"But the ovum needed something else
before it could grow into a baby.
It needed sperm before you could start growing.
Millions of sperm, much smaller than the ovum,
were in the testicles behind your father's penis.
When your mother and father felt very loving,
they kissed and cuddled each other.
Your father's penis became hard so that it could slide
into your mother's vagina,
the soft opening between her legs
which leads to her uterus.
As your mother and father held each other in their arms,
a liquid called semen
spurted out from his penis into her vagina." -Being Born, Sheila Kitzinger
Yes, I'm giggling like a five year old. Aren't you?
