Week 9Ended up telling a friend that I work with that I was pregnant as she kept asking if I was okay as I wasn't looking myself (was feeling a bit green and tired). Good thing I told her as I ended up being sick on the Tuesday. The other girl that worked up stairs didn't say anything but it wouldn't be hard to work out what's going on.
We had our first doctor’s appointment on Friday, not much to report from this. Doctor just went over everything with us and told me what to expect in the coming weeks (headaches and dizziness) and gave me forms for a blood test as well as a 10week scan (to confirm conception/due date) and a 12 week scan. We also decided to get John to do a blood test to find out his blood type due to me being A Negative. Before you ask, if a mother's blood type is negative and the fathers is positive then there could be issues at birth. Nothing major, they just need to know so they can take the necessary steps to deal with it (I have to have more injections than normal)
LP - is about 2.5cm in length, about the size of a martini olive and weighs a mere 2 grams. 
Week 10
Sick again this week while at work but the highlight of the week is seeing our baby for the first time. While it was a bit of a blur it was good to see that something was growing as apart from the sickness, tender breasts and lack of a period I wouldn’t know that I was pregnant. Tummy is still pretty much looking like it was before conception - but that won't last much longer.
I'm weighing in at 66kg. So far I've put no weight on, must be due to the weekly occurrence of morning sickness. I've also read that I should prepare for my emotions to start heading for the extremes. Although I have to report I haven't had any issues so far.
Oh - I also started to buy the odd thing for LP. Target had a little sale so I picked up a gate to put at the top of the stairs (I know it will be a while yet, but it was on sale), a nappy bag and cot starter set which has a few sheets, matters cover and a blanket.
LP - weighs about 4 grams and measures just under 3.5cm, about the size of a Brazil nut. Resting heart beat is 167bpm. LP also graduates from embryo to foetus.
I know it just looks like a bit of a blur - but the little blur is ours and there are smiles all round.
Can you see the legs and little feet? I can but they have been pointed out to be, oh and I got to see a different angel were I got to see the feet from the bottom which included his little bum. I know I'm the mother, but it was ohhhh so cute (sorry no photo/scan).
Week 11
Bad week as I was sick twice, but I'm one of the lucky ones I guess as there are some ladies out there that are sick most days.
LP - weighs about 10grams, is about 5cm long and all vital organs are now formed and functioning, so the risk of defects decreases this week (yeah).
Week 12
I've reached the last week of the first trimester and they say that I should start to feel better (a little less sick and start to have more energy). But in saying that I was sick again, but just the once and it was all put behind me as we enjoyed the 2nd scan of LP.
I'm weighing in at 66.5kg. Happy with that, but I'm sure it won't last much longer.
Buster has started to tell his work mates and close friends, which is making it all seem a little more of a reality for him.
LP - weighs almost 15grams, is almost 6cm long, heart is beating at 156bpm and his face is looking more human as his eyes have moved to the front of his head and his ears are in place (so they say). His reproductive organs are developing and I believe that he will also begin to grow hair, form eyelids, fingernails and toenails, not to forget those vocal cords which are beginning to form (I'm sure they will be in full form in no time and ready to put me to the test).
His giving us a little wave. I can also make out his little nose and lips (but again I'm his mum)
