12 Weeks

This image is the baby during the nuchal translucency test. This test checks the thickness of the baby's neck as a screening for Down's Syndrome. A test of 3 or less is considered safe. The bambino's was 1.1.

You can see the baby's profile pretty well in this image, even though it's dark. The black line that runs along the bottom is the baby's spine, which is what was measured in the test.

This was the first picture in which I could see the arms and legs more fully developed, and the profile. I think it has my nose. :)
