Flippers!! (9 weeks)

March 15, 2013


You would not believe what is wiggling around IN MY BODY!! Caspar the friendly ghost, apparently...



The baby is upside down with the head is to the lower left. The dark spot in the head (in the bottom of the picture) is the back of the brain (the rhomebencephalon)...and there are 2 little flippers (armbuds) in the center of the picture!



Another view of the wee arm and leg buds. You can see the rhombencephalon clearly (the heart shaped dark spot in the head), which will eventually be the medulla, pons, and cerebellum.


This is a side view. Again, dark spot is the back of the head. You can see a profile of an armbud next to the head, and 2 little leg buds in the top, right hand corner.
