December 15, 2008 - First Ultrasound

Paul and I headed to downtown because the Ankeny Clinic doesn't currently have an ultrasound available. We were so anxious to hear the baby's heartbeat. Wow, it was beating pretty fast...170 times a minute. It was interesting to see our little blob, just about 2.5 cm long. At least something is measured in metric :-) They say that if you hear the baby's heartbeat, you have less then 5% chance of miscarriage. Everything looked normal so we felt comfortable with telling our families.

Jeli jsme s Paulem do centra, protoze Klinika v Ankeny nema jeste k dispozici ultrazvuk. Byli jsme netrpelivi uslyset tlukot srdce naseho detatka. Tlouklo velmi rychle...170 krat za minutu. Bylo zajimave videt naseho maleho tvorecka, ktery byl jen 2.5 cm dlouhy. Aspon neco je tady mereno v metrickem systemu. Rikaji, jestlize slysite tlukot srdce, sance potratu je nizsi nez 5 procent. Vsechno vypadalo normalne, tak jsme se rozhodli to rici nasim rodinam.
