Here is a video of my ultrasound:

00:00 - 01:36 - Looking for a clear view and good angle of the baby.
01:48 - Zooming in on baby...The dark circle around it is the liquid sack that the baby lives in.
01:55 - 02:05 - The green arrow is pointing to a "fluttering," on the baby's chest - this is the baby's heart beating!
02:06 - 02:16 - Close up/time lapse of the heartbeat - 176 beats per minute - very healthy!
2:30 - First measure of baby's length.
2:35 - 2:46 My favorite part! Baby moving around and stretching all by itself! SO CUTE!
2:46 - 2:56 - Identify the head, arms, and legs of my little cutie
3:30 - 2nd measurement
3:45 - 3rd measurement - This gives baby a final measurement of 26mm, which means that on July 11, 2008, I am 9 weeks, 3 days pregnant. This means that the estimated die date is February 10, 2009.
4:30 - 6:20
This large chunk of video is zooming out and looking at the rest of my belly - the uterus, ovaries, etc. (The egg came from my right ovary...) She took measurements of everything for the doctor to make sure it was all the right size and stuff...
6:35 - Zoom in on baby again, and watch for the fluttering that shows the baby's heart beat...
8:25 - video ends - the rest is dead time... maybe I will edit it someday!
