First Picture Ever!!

As you know we are expecting again and we are so exited. So here's the picture of my first sonogram and I wanted to share with you all. Isn't he/she perfect?

My Due date is September 12 and to be honest I'm hoping for a girl.

So the names that we (me) have picked out are: Isabella or Benjamin. What do you think we are having?

What is Hirchsprungs Disease?

Hirschsprung's Disease is a congenital condition which can cause extreme constipation, pain, and fatal intestinal blockage. Anemia, bloody stools and diarrhea may also be noted with the condition. Surgery, though intensive, can treat the causes and most children with Hirschsprung's Disease lead normal lives after surgery.
Hirschsprung's Disease manifests as a lack of appropriate nerve cells in the large intestine or colon. When the body cannot sense that the colon is full with waste products, the intestine can back up. In infants this may be seen as infrequency of bowel movements, which may be accompanied by painful spasms. Because of larger bowel movements, the sensitive skinaround the anus can tear, causing blood in the stool. Blood may also pool in the large intestine.
