My first acquaintance with Baby No.2

I saw my baby no2 for the first time today at the clinic through the ultrasound scan. I said this is first because the last time I had a scan, I only managed to see the yolk sac. Over the last two weeks, the yolk sac has developed into a tiny little foetus, at 1.32cm. It has a head, and it's body is slightly curled up. I could see it's heartbeat too. This is amazing. Looking at the picture from the ultrasound scan, I can't help but wonder how this little fella will be like when born? What kind of temperament, characters, features it will bear? Well, it's too early to tell for now. I could probably get the gender figured out soon though, at around 16 weeks. I am hoping for a girl this time, but we shall see! Here's a picture of the ultrasound scan.

This pregnancy has been a little bit different from my last. I had morning sickness for both pregnancies, but compared to the last time, I had much less appetite for food this round and I practically have no cravings at all. But one good sign is I have not vomitted so far. Hopefully things will remain managable and this morning sickness will soon go away after the first trimester.

Although I am feeling lousy and tired with the morning sickness bugging me most of the time, I can always turn to Julian for some distraction and relief. He has been a good boy lately and has been very sweet to me. It just melts my heart whenever he come voluntarily to me and give me a big bear hug. Having such a lovely son makes all those pregnancy woes I went through all worth while. So I hope it's gonna be the same for this one too!
