How much does an Ultrasound machine cost?!

Even though I'm reading everything I can get my hands on having to do with babies, pregnancy, etc; I think I can be pretty realistic when it comes to all the fears, precautions, chances, etc. However, I can't help but want to have an ultrasound every day now, just to make sure the heart is beating and everything is as it should be! I don't want to be too paranoid, but I think that little heart beating was the best sound I ever heard and it's been too long since I heard it! And I have to wait another two weeks?! Yikes - I dont know how our mothers and mother's mothers did this without a single ultrasound.....oh thank you technology

Excerpt from BabyCenter.com:
How your baby's growing: Your baby is no longer an embryo! Though she's barely the size of a kumquat — just an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, she now has completed the most critical portion of her development. This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in her body rapidly grow and mature. Her vital organs — the liver, kidney, intestines, brain, and lungs — are now in place and starting to function (although they'll continue to develop throughout your pregnancy). Her liver continues to make blood cells, and the yolk sac, which previously supplied these cells, is no longer needed and begins to disappear.

During the next three weeks, your baby's length will more than double to nearly 3 inches. Her head is proportionately smaller now than it was a few weeks ago, but it's still almost half the length of her entire body. Her forehead temporarily bulges with her developing brain and sits high on her head; it will later recede to give her a more human appearance. Each day, more minute details — including tiny fingernails, toenails, and peach-fuzz hair — start to appear on her body. Her fingers are now completely separated; her arms bend at the elbow and curve slightly; her hands are flexed at the wrist and meet over her heart; her legs are lengthening; and her feet may be long enough to meet in front of her body. She is busily swallowing amniotic fluid and kicking her legs.

If you could take a peek at your baby this week, you'd be able to clearly see the outline of her spine through her parchment-thin skin. Spinal nerves are beginning to stretch out from her spinal cord.
