12 week Ultrasound photos- is this a boy, or an umbilical cord?!

UPDATED PHOTO - I'm hoping this is bigger and clearer. As many people commented, the previous photo was loading very small and impossible to see.

I think I've finally figured out how to capture ultrasound photos, and here are two from our recent 12 week scan, at which the sonographer said he was 80% sure our baby is a boy. On looking at it though, that is one extremely long penis! Whilst my DH would LOVE to think that he could father a child with a knee-length penis, I am a bit suspicious that it's actually the umbilical cord. However, the sonographer is very experienced and I'm not sure whether he could make a mistake like that.


This is looking down on the baby (bird's eye view), who is 'sitting' upright with legs slightly bent in a kind of squatting position. You can clearly see the baby's head and eyes, and the left hand held above the head. That's one big penis, particularly in relation to the rest of the body! I thought they were more of a 'nub' at this stage.

Any opinions very welcome! I would welcome either a girl or a boy, but am very keen to decorate the nursery in our new house very soon. Best to wait for confirmation at the 20 week scan?!
