Today, your father has produced the semen that will be half of you soon. He produced 1000 sperms every second of his life and you will be lucky one out of 500 million sperms he sent on their way in the conceivement. You may find interesting to know that if he had drunk (or not drunk) coffee on this Monday morning, you might be born completely as someone else (for instance in the opposite sex) as Caffeine changes the speed of male sperms.
Today your mother had her last menstrual cycle and started building up the egg, that will be the other half of you. After today, she will not have this cycle again for a very long time (thanks to you!). She spent Friday as moody, anxious, short-tempered and you should be glad, you were not around her that day!
Your mother's egg is ready to build the other half of you; your father and your mother got together to make you. But there is still no "you" around so don't get excited much. It can take several hours for your father's sperm to reach your mother's egg and now it is just on its way out
Out of 500 million sperm on their way to your mother's egg, the sperm which built you has won the race by coming first and the sperm and the egg have became one to make your very first cell. Do you see how lucky your half (the sperm) be by winning coming up first among 500 million other rivals? Never tell you are not lucky anymore!
