The little device the doctor uses to listen in is called a Doppler. When the sound became clear, all I could hear was an old-fashioned steam train engine... I almost expected to hear a whistle. :) That persistent chug-chug-chug was very comforting, though. I've already watched the video several times, just to hear it again.
While we were there, my doctor told us that he had seen the ultrasound pictures from the ER, and not only did everything look fine, it looked like we were ahead of schedule; he moved our baby's due date up, from July 21 to July 11. When we asked if we could get printed copies of the ultrasound images, though, he said unfortunately his office only had viewing privileges since the images were from the hospital, so they couldn't print them for us. However, he pointed out, if we were going to go ahead with the first trimester genetic screening, we should try to schedule that for the end of this week because of my due date being moved up; an ultrasound was included with that screening, so we could get a printed image from that. So we scheduled that appointment for 4 days later, on Friday January 6th.
