11 weeks Ultrasound

My wife just got pregnant this Past December 2012.  As we are living in the South of France (recently moved to the exterior of Aix-en-Provence. we needed to go find out how the baby was doing. In general start the whole baby process in France.

You can see the first video i recorded with my samsung galaxy S2. I just pointed it to the screen and hit record. The nice thing that i found out was that if i had brought a usb stick the doctor would have recorded all this for me for free :)
According to some movies i have seen apparently you have to pay extra to see your baby in 3d etc. here its just ask for it and they will do it for you.

As my wife did a lot of research she found out that most people do not recommend going to the hospital in Aix-en-Provence instead they recommend going to the hospital that is nearby in the city of  Pertuis

It is noted for its large ochre deposits found in the clay surrounding the village. Ochres are pigments ranging from yellow and orange to red. One of the former ochre quarries can be visited via the 'Sentier des Ocres' (Ochre Path), a walk of either 30 or 60 minutes through the old workings.
