Ultrasound on Jan. 18, 2008 (11 weeks, 6 days). Baby measured 5.8 to 5.9 cm CR. In this view, you can see Baby facing the ultrasound, with eyes faintly discernible. Baby's right arm is up to his/her face, and both legs are visible.
Ultrasound on Jan. 18, 2008 (11 weeks, 6 days). The righthand side was used to measure the fetal heartbeat, at 153 beats per minute.
Ultrasound on Jan. 18, 2008 (11 weeks, 6 days). This is from our afternoon appointment during the triscreen, which used more sensitive equipment. You can see the side profile, with the Baby's left arm up to his/her head.
Ultrasound on Jan. 18, 2008 (11 weeks, 6 days). Baby is facing the ultrasound; you can make out the eyes, nose (somewhat), two arms, umbilical cord, and placenta on the left. The labeling is a bit old school (not ours).
Ultrasound on Jan. 18, 2008 (11 weeks, 6 days). This is a fantastic view of Baby's leg, including the developing femur, tibia, and fibula, as well as some bones in the foot. Check out all the muscle! (medium gray tissue)
Ultrasound on Jan. 18, 2008 (11 weeks, 6 days). This is a bit harder to tell, but Baby is facing the camera, with his/her left arm making a fist. You can just make out the two eyes and nose. Nice humerus!
Ultrasound on Jan. 18, 2008 (11 weeks, 6 days). Amazing side profile of baby, showing upper and lower jaw, as well as nose! Don't worry, we don't have a peg-legged pirate yet; the lower leg is a bit out of frame here.
Ultrasound on Jan. 18, 2008 (11 weeks, 6 days). Side profile 43 seconds later. Baby's head is turned slightly away from the camera. Look at that great spine!
Ultrasound on Jan. 18, 2008 (11 weeks, 6 days). Forward profile of Baby. Not the most flattering picture, but cool nonetheless.
