Ok this is a shot from the right side. you can see the head, a leg at the bottom and a hand that looks like it's either waving or it's getting ready to suck it's thumb! You can also see the spine (brighter white along the back).
This one is a lot like the one above just smaller, the only difference is the heartbeat you can see at the top, above the actual picture of the baby.
Since I'm technically 11 weeks but measuring at 12 weeks, here is info for both weeks on me and baby!
(11 weeks) 
Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a lime, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.
She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.
(12 weeks)
The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.
Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce
That is a much clearer picture - and it sure looks like a girl to me! Oh come one, Dan, you know a little girl will have you wrapped. And wouldn't you love another female in the house? One with the same personality as Amanda?
