Well today I am 9 weeks pregnant and I had my booking appointment with my midwife. It went well, she's very nice and Lucy really liked her!! She (the cat) kept trying to climb in the Andrea's (the midwife) lap. My bp was fine, there was no protein or glucose in my wee! It turns out I will get a 12 week scan though it might be a bit closer to 16 weeks, I will also get a scan around 20 weeks. I'll see Andrea next around 16 weeks and I have to have blood tests done around 12 weeks :(
Here is what Babycenter says about baby at 9 weeks.
"His eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks. He has earlobes, and by week's end, the inner workings of his ears will be complete. His upper lip is fully formed, too, and his mouth, nose, and nostrils are more distinct. The tips of his fingers are slightly enlarged where his touch pads are developing. All major joints — his shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles — are working, enabling your baby to move his limbs. As for his heart, it has divided into four chambers now, and the valves have started to develop. External sex organs are there, but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks."
As for me, I'm doing fine, still no morning sickness!! Just very tired at times and taking lots of naps.

that's beautiful...i love the part about the developing touch pads on the baby's fingers. i can't wait til you know the sex of the baby...by the way, are you going to want to know or making it a surprise? i may have asked you this before, but my brain is scattered and i don't remember!
We do hope to find out the sex of the baby. We are both convinced already of what we are having so it will be good to find out if we're right!
