Can You Help Me Identify What is What in my US Pics?

Hi! I just had my dating ultrasound, which was also first official confirmation from a doctor that there was really a little person in there.  So relieving!  Turns out I am 11 weeks 1 day.  Anyhow, when I get anxious/excited/nervous/etc all normal brain functioning pretty much goes out the door.  So, of course I forgot to ask any questions during the ultrasound, so I'm looking for any tips as to what these pictures are showing.  I've labeled them #1-#4 to make it easier.

The first picture is a 3d picture and if I'm seeing it correctly, does the little nugget have  a giant nose :) ? Not that I really care, just happy they said everything looks normal.  Also, is that a little boy nub down there or am I imagining things?  I guess I'm just having a hard time figuring out where the limbs are and what is a limb.

Thanks SO much in advance for any help!

    I'm no expert, but I'm guessing those are legs down there.  Cute little bean!

    It looks like your LO has an arm up by it's head which is making it look like a big beak in the profile shots. I'm not very good at picking things out on early 3D scans. As for the boy part, that looks like a leg to me.

    Cute little bean you got there. I'm jealous that you have a 3D scan already :)

    In my experience, 3D ultrasounds always look bizarre, especially early ones.  And that is definitely a limb, not boy parts.  I think in #3, the baby is looking straight ahead, so you're seeing its face, but I'm not an expert.

    Thanks to both of you! That makes more sense that the arm is up there...I was seeing something totally different.

    I really had no idea I would have a 3d scan - she just pressed some button and it was 3d all of the sudden.  Pleasant surprise!

    I think this might be more accurate? (PS Photoshopping yellow limbs on my baby's ultrasound was something I never pictured myself doing :D)

    Early on a fetus will have a "tail" that eventually turns into the spine and goes away.  That's what i think you're seeing and are saying boy.  But I think it's too early to tell.  What are you 9 weeks?  Guessing from the u/s :)

    I'm actually 11 weeks 1 day, but I think it might just be a mess of limbs down there the more I look.  Thanks for your help! :)

    I am squinting with all my might and I can't see anything other than an indistinct blob. With some pointy bits.

    /squints more

    ...a trussed chicken!?

    Man, kudos to those of you who can actually identify anything on these!
