*9 weeks*

Had another scan yesterday - measuring at 8 weeks 6 days - will be 9 weeks tomorrow. Babies heartbeat was a fast 167 bpm. Makes me think its a girl...deep in my heart I think its a girl, but then it could be a boy :) I would be over the moon with either.

Really so amazing to see that little flicker of a heartbeat and to see how much she/he has grown in 2 weeks. Everything looking perfect and healthy. I can feel my tummy is growing already...only thought this would happen from 12 weeks but already there is a little bump and all my skinny leggings are just too tight around my waste. My mom and dad came with to the scan and they stared in amazement at the sound of the pounding little heart. Was great to share it with them as they are down visiting from Dubai...the desert!

I really am so in love with our little miracle and cant wait to be over the 12 weeks so I can relax a little more.

Its not easy to just relax if you had had a bad experience before. Its still hard to sometimes believe that I am actually pregnant! Wow the thought overwhelms me. We are here. This is it.

Here are some pix of my 9 week belly, and 9 week scan.

**Our little angel is now measuring 2.09cm (the size of a grape) and weighs 2 grams. Baby is starting to move its limbs quite a bit and teeth are forming in the gums. Tongue, lips and nose are continuing to grow. The sex organs have formed. Wonder what you are my little precious one? :)**
