17 weeks!

Yesterday we turned 17 weeks, exactly as the title says. Usually it makes me a little frustrated to see how fast days are passing by. But right now it only makes me glad. We are soon in the middle of our pregnancy. N is feeling well. There is still no hurry with making all the trip preparations. And I know that every day our little Viking grows bigger and stronger. As we were in our 2WW, I used to "tell" our embies to stick hard into N's uterus and grow; we'll be there soon to hug and kiss you. I'm so happy we have come this far. Very soon it is time for me to start on treatment in order to induce lactation. I'm very much pro nursing and definitely going to do my best to be able to provide all the breast milk needed for Jennifer's sibbling. I have found quite a few scientific articles about inducing lactation with the help of Domperidone. Unfortunately, Domperidone is on a special, "licenced", prescription here in Sweden. This means my doctor needs to motivate the Swedish Drug Administration why I need this medication prescripted. It is so ridiculous in some way, since Domperidone is widely used for this. Chanses that we would get DA's permission are quite low but I definitely want to give it a try.
Jennifer has caught a cold from her new daycare. Hence she is not eating much at all, again. Nevertheless, we have had some great family time past days. A picture is worth a thousand words, ergo I'll let them do the rest of talking tonight :)
Our little Mozart:
 A real treasure in the chest :)
 I can only say: FUN!!

 Jennifer is currently extremely interested in letters and numbers. She loves to climb up on this chair and "write". Then she calls for us and points out where she has "written" pappa, mamma, our dog or else. She is ambidextrous yet and I'm quite curious which hand she will choose one day. I'm left-handed, Agne is right-handed. It's her choice! But I must say, it is a little odd to have a child who doesn't really speak much but already knows several letters and is so eager to learn new ones. :)
