12 and a Half Weeks







Today was very exciting! We got to see quite a different baby than we saw just 3 weeks ago. Today he/she has full limbs, and we could see the bones in the arms, legs, and even in the fingers! Baby was moving around a lot, which made it difficult for the sonographer, but we sure enjoyed watching the squirming. In the top picture you can see baby's profile, and it's amazing how visible the jaw bones are. You can even see a little dark spot where the ear is. The second picture shows a cross section through the baby's head. Mindy was particularly excited about getting to see baby's developing brain!
Baby measures 6.3 cm today, which is just shy of 2.5 inches. This means that he/she has grown an inch and a half in just 3 weeks. It's hard to believe that in just 6 short months he/she will be a full size baby!
Love,
Mindy & Aaron
