Yesterday I was sonoing myself (again) and I noticed in addition to the usual gray blob I could see all these little things floating around in the gestational sac. It took me a few minutes, but I finally realized those "things" were arms and legs and the baby was moving like crazy! It was a pretty amazing moment.
Once again, I tried to get pictures, but trying to hold the probe on my stomach with my right hand and reaching across with my left to the sono machine doesn't really work very well. I whined to the sonographer about it, so she took some pics for me.
Jeff scanned them in kind of small so they're a little hard to see. The pics are all profiles. The head is on the left, it's about the same size as the rest of the body right now. Where it bends in the middle and curls up a little, that's the body. The arms and legs are facing up, you can faintly see them. In the middle picture you can actually see the baby's nose in profile.
Laurie,
