OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

I haven't done much blogging lately, but I have a very good excuse. I am 7 weeks preggers, due April 16th. This baby-boo number two and all these hormone changes have left me absolutely EXHAUSTED! I was able to see the heart beat as well as hear it during the ultrasound. You can see the heartbeat recorded at the bottom of this first picture:
Here is a good shot of the fetus and the "yolk sac" which is like the early placenta. It's amazing really to think of how fast everything grows and changes.

The fetus is already in amniotic fluid. The black area directly around the fetus is the fluid. Amazing! I'm just as excited as I was with Claire! I have been having some morning sickness, so I'm convinced it's a girl, as I heard that it's more common with girls, but who knows. And I'll be equally happy with a boy or girl. :)

Breastfeeding is NEVER weird!

Breastfeeding saves lives. It is never weird. http://blacktating.blogspot.com/2009/08/boobies-are-life-saving-devices.html Cultural perceptions differ, but mothers would never regret breastfeeding in an emergency, whereas formula would be a bit trickier to use!
