12 week 4 day Ultrasound Today!

Today we had an ultrasound and were able to see our baby, yea!

Here are some of the pictures!

This is the first picture she took. It's a measurement from crown to rump, which was 6.5 cm, which is 2.5 inches for those of us not used to the metric measurements! The head is on the left, the rump is on the right and the little greenish-yellow line follows along it's back.

This was the important part of the ultrasound, where they measure the fluid that accumulates behind the neck. The baby is laying on it's back and the dark white line and the black space right above it is the measurement they take. The tech said everything looks good. This measurement checks for chromosomal disorders like, Down Syndrome, Trisomy 18 and 13. It also checks for the likelihood of spina bifida.

This picture is kinda difficult to interpret, but it is actually the baby with its finger(s) in it's mouth, or by its face. I wish it would have come out more clear!

The tech then transitioned the scan into 3d, and I think this is my favorite picture, because it is so clear. The finger looking thing on the left is the placenta, and the umbilical cord is coming down from that. The baby is snuggled up close and you can kinda see its eyes, ear nose and chin, then its little arms, and its leg. WE HAVE A BABY!

Here's another view, not quite as clear as the first, but still cute!

This is the back side of the baby, you can kinda see its cute little bum!

Saving the best for last... here is a little video clip of the baby doing a little jump and flip, looks like we have a little gymnast!
