Where do we draw the line

Obviously nothing will stop the cultural progressives until the very last trace of the word "no" has been transmorgified into "if you want to" (but only if what you want to do agrees with what they want you to do.)

Number 5: Week 7

What's with the title? Number 5? Well, as I told one friend, number five is alive! Or as I mentioned to another, didn't see that one coming. Or to yet another friend, we're pregnant.

That's right. Number 5. And it's looking like early August (plus or minus the standard two weeks). So I thought it would be cool to do a weekly blog post of the babies development and to let people know how Michelle is doing.

Since most people ask how Michelle is doing, I'll start there. She's doing great. Outside of the typical morning sickness, she's actually feeling pretty good. Considering she spent six months of the last pregnancy on bed rest and didn't have morning sickness, I'm quite happy for the nausea. Actually, I was remembering over the different prengnancies and realized that Michelle really only had morning sickness with the first pregnancy and not really on the rest. And the first prgnancy was the easiest of the four, so we are praying for that. With an almost six year old, a four and a half year old, a three year old and a nine month old, we need as much of Mommy as possible.

The baby, on the other hand, is growing like crazy. After only five weeks of life (pregnancy starts counting after week 2), her hands and feet are beginning to form and she is about half an inch long. Her eyelids are already beginning to form, partially covering her eyes which already have a little bit of color. Her nose is forming and blood vessels are carrying blood just beneath her parchment-like skin.

Her liver is producing the red blood cells because she has no bone marrow to actually do that job yet. Her appendix has already formed as well as her pancreas.

She may still be scientifically known as an embryo, but she has always been a baby human.
