How do I answer a 4-7 year old's questions about babies?

When a 4 to 7 year old will ask you about "Mommy, how did a baby get here?" or "How did I get here?", you can have much more of a dialogue than you did with your younger child. You can say, "Honey, the way you got here is through mommy's body. You were brought in through mommy's tummy, you came out, we caught you with the nurse and the doctor, we wrapped you in a blanket and we started to feed you and we've loved you ever since 'cause mommy and daddy wanted to have a baby". How the baby is actually made, is something that we can explain to you as you get older and is very complicated and it's confusing, so right now it's just important to know that we love each other, God gave you us through mommy's tummy.
