Amazing pictures

I've been searching the internet for pictures of babies at 18 weeks gestation, and I can't quite believe that this is how our little baby (who is only just showing to the outside world as a bump) actually looks. It's incredible, and makes Psalm 139 seem even more real.
The first image is taken by "embryoscopy" with an actual microscopic camera. The second is a 3D ultrasound.

Our baby is approx 6 inches (15cm) long from crown to rump and he weighs about 7 ounces (190g). Although things seem calm on the surface, our little one is kicking, flexing, reaching, rolling, and even sucking his thumb. His hearing is now functioning and he will be listening to my heartbeat.
