Today we had our 12 week ultrasound. To went with me for this one since it's actually possible to see a baby at this point. The heart beat was clearly visible and the nurse said very strong and healthy. We could also clearly see the head (which is about 50% of the baby right now). The dark matter in the head is the developing brain and fluid. Also visible today were arms, legs, and fingers. The baby decided to touch its head and do some flips for us so we got to see the arms and legs in action.

I continue to be very lucky in that I am not suffering with sickness but I have some days where I remain very fatigued and hungry. For the sake of our grocery budget I told Tobias I need to be banned from grocery shopping until I can do it without being hungry. Today's journey, which was supposed to be for 4 items, ended up costing nearly $70. At the time 5 cereals, Triscuits, and a zillion fruits and veges made sense. All in all though, I can't complain.
In the first picture the red X's mark the measurements points from head to bottom (not including outstretched legs). In the second you are looking at the top of the head and the arrow marks the elbow joint of the arm. We told the baby to save its salutes for Poppa Marine. :)
The next ultrasound will be 9 May. Since Mami and Papi will be there I hope that both grandmothers will come along!!
