Latest Ultrasound

Hot off the presses, from the doctors office to this website, the latest baby pictures. The baby is now 12 weeks and 4 days along and is about 2.5 inches long, from head to rump, with heart rate of 158 bpm, sounds fast but the doc says thats a good rate. Hopefully you can tell where the head is. The floating object slightly up and to the right is a little hand saying hello or clenched in a fist expressing its frustration with being squished around by an ultrasound wand. The object near the bottom sticking straight up is a leg. for some reason the foot doesn't show in this picture. But in the office you could see it pressed against the right wall as if it was doing a squat. The doc says that in about 5 weeks we should be able to tell what sex the baby will be. The doc also says that the baby looks healthy; in that the chord is attached to the placenta in a good place, apparently there are places you don't want it to attach, and the different measurements they made in the spinal area and stuff looked good. The baby was being stubborn for quite a whlie in not moving into a position where they could take these measurements, it took some coughing from me and some swirling around of the ultrasound wand for it to actually rotate to a good position. Before it did so it did a pretty strong shake of its body and fist and then started moving around a lot to where it finally settled in a place they could take measurements. Long story short, the baby has already taken after its daddy.
