- I'd have one even though there is probably no need to have one. It was
- the biggest thrill when I saw my 13 week old daughter doing summersaults (sp?)
- in there. Especially at this young age you can see the whole baby as it
- moves around, not just a faint hand or head. It's just plain neat.
-
- Also, I'd definitely bring a videotape. My Doctor forgot to tell me to
- bring one and I was soooo disappointed when I found out that I could have
- taped it.
