In case you are wondering what the heck the big hole in the back of their head/neck is (like I was!), I am pretty sure it's the brain. From this site (http://www.centrus.com.br/DiplomaFMF/SeriesFMF/11-14weeks/chapter-04/chapter-04-final.htm): "The brain cavities are easily seen as large ‘holes’ in the embryonic head."
Sounds like what we've got going on! I was worried that there was something wrong, but a) the tech/midwife woulda said something! and b) guess my baby just has a big ole' brain. Preparing to stretch out the head to be a true "Baird" head. Guess I'd better stock up on those newborn shirts with snaps on the shoulders since I've been told my head wouldn't fit through shirts otherwise as a baby...
Also, my doppler looks like it should get here in the mail this afternoon! I know there is a chance it's too early to hear it through the extra padding I was already carrying around, but we'll see!
