Well it turns out that Eric will have to have surgery after all. He has been told to do the physio for the next 2 weeks if he wants, but that he should go in for the surgery on the 7th April.  (this also happens to be the same day as our 12-week scan unfortunately)

Eric collected his results today and it appears he has supraspinatus tendonitus in his arm. He has a doctor's appointment tomorrow @ 11am where the results will be analysed and treatment will be prescribed. Fingers crossed he does not have to have surgery...

(thought Eric's family might like this update...) 

Well today I went for the dreaded blood tests and I hated every second of it. However, it was over very quickly and Eric was with me for moral support. We will have the results tomorrow evening.

I am also 9 weeks pregnant today! I am attaching a photo of what a 9 week old foetus looks like... (in 3 weeks time, we will have our own photos... yippeee!)

Met with Anne, the midwife, this evening. She opened my eyes to lots of different issues, and there was me thinking I knew everything there was to know!  Anyway, it was very good to speak to her, she said I am very organised and doing all the right things.

Also went on my second driving lesson tonight; learned how to start on a hill, reverse up a hill, brake more gently, shift gears more easily etc. Amazingly, I am enjoying the lessons, so this is a bonus. Eric is a great teacher.
