8 weeks

This week, your little tadpole is starting to look a little bit more human. Other exciting developments include:

Your baby's eyelids, ears, upper lip and the tip of his soon-to-be adorable button nose are forming.

Junior will also sprout webbed fingers and toes this week—which you'll be well aware of in a few months, as baby starts early gymnastics classes inside you.

Baby's tiny heart has separated into four distinct chambers and is really ticking now—at a rate of 150 beats per minute. That's more than twice your resting heart rate (even when Rob Pattinson is on the screen).

Our next scan is at 9 weeks still with the fertility specialist, and then at 11 weeks we switch over to the gynae at Genesis Clinic. http://www.genesisclinic.co.za/

I'm still very confused about which midwife to go with, dreamt about the one that I have done quite a bit of work with - all was great, she also consults from close by - we don't really want to travel miles for every consultation, even though Dr M is in Saxonwold. So I don't want 2 caregivers that are far away. Will pray about it. 'Til next week, will be doing a video update. Love, J & Mills xx
