We've almost made it to the 12 week mark! We went to the doctor today and had our 3rd ultrasound...this time, they were able to do it from the outside instead of the inside. This picture is actually not as clear as the ones from the inside, but it's obvious that our little one has grown a ton in just the past 3 weeks! Here is the development update: Your baby (now about two inches long) has been pretty busy this week, growing hair follicles, fingernails, and ovaries (if she's a girl). She has distinct human characteristics by now, with hands and feet in front of her body, with ears nearly in their final shape, open nasal passages on the tip of her tiny nose, a tongue and palate in the mouth, and visible nipples. What else makes her look human? Those hands and feet have individual fingers and toes (meaning good-bye to those froglike webbed hands and feet). Hooray!
