First Baby Photo

Here's a "picture" of the baby at 11 weeks.  Notice the very helpful caption from the sonogram technician:  BABY.   You can click on the image to enlarge it.

The head is to the right, face down.  The lower half of the body is very small at this point, with still-forming arms and legs that look a bit like flippers.  I saw the heart beating, which is always just breathtaking. 

During the sonogram, the baby started flapping arms and legs and managed to get "airborne" (waterborne?), floating upside-down and slowly rotating.  It looked like video we see of astronauts in space floating at random angles and rotations.



This little person is due to arrive around September 9th, and I'm sure we'll have plenty of updates before then.
