Its Official folks...

I am well and truly Up The Duff, have a Bun in the Oven, Preggers, Hapu....

You get it right?

As if this wasn't enough of a confirmation...

A scan on Thursday night gave us a peek at what our baby (more affectionately known as Baby Turtle) is doing right now... which apparently at this stage is quite a lot. Its hard work dividing cells into all sorts of places to start forming the embryo and placenta... this ball of cells tumbles down the tubes and crashes into the wall of my uterus... the outer ring then digs and burrows its way in to form the placenta, the rest forms a sac and becomes the embryo. Sounds simple... but its amazing how 2 single celled organisms can combine and mutliply drastically, to become a whole, seperate (although rather parasitic-like for the next 8 months) living entity
And heres a sneak peek, our very first photo if you will, of our little baby 'Turtle'
For those who arent quite sure where they are meant to look... its the little black hole... riiiight in the middle there, prob right down to the smallest millimetre even... next scan in 2 weeks should reveal a little more. Like an actual embryo rather than the sac. And a heartbeat.




Isnt Turtle Jr beautiful...
