text: Before we were conceived we were in a place sorting out things from our previous lives, getting ready for when we would start all over again as the baby of someone else (usually in the same family as we had been in before).  Being in that other place can last many years...it lasts as long as it takes for us to be ready to return.  \n\nMy daughter gets mad when I call her "Nana".  My Nana died when I was 6 so she apparently waited 19 years to be conceived again.  That's my theory, anyways.
