980 to 1. I'll take that. would have liked 1000:1, but 980 to one will do just fine.
quickly b/c we're heading off in five minutes on the holiday; its anatomy is "magnificent" according to Andrea the sonographer and Michael the dr.
we could see every little finger and toe, all its spine and brain lobes and ribs, and it "wriggled like a worm."
5.97 cm, which is 12w 3d at actual gestation of 12w 1 day.
it wouldn't turn for the NT scan for ages; she really poked and jiggled at it too. so she called the dr in and had a chat while we waited; in the meantime it turned nicely and they got a reading of 1.2mm on its nuchal translucency.

even husband got a little tear in his eye. it's so amazingly fully formed. we have a face-on pic which looks like an extra from Close Encounters, and a video I haven't watched yet. but that number is the thing, really. I had to call back 45 minutes later to get it. funny how they always say "it's a good result". I always then say "give me the number!".

980 to one. is good.
