First U / S – What does your baby look like? [little alien] [calling the baby]

Because mine looked like a little alien!

I had my first u / s on 10 / 7 at 11 wks 3 days. My first reaction was: “It looks like an alien!” They had a vaginal u / s, so we have really good pictures – I had expected to try to correct the “blob” on a gray fuzzy area to find. Everything looks good and is in the right place – we can even count 10 fingers and 10 toes. But it looked like an alien! We were calling the baby “Shrimp,” but now its “Alien Baby.”: D
