No Need for a Public Health Nurse: Cruise Buys a Sonogram Machine

The guy who made the Barbara Walter's list of the most interesting people of 2005 has a new attraction for his fans to talk about. Tom Cruise has bought his wife Katie Holmes a brand new sonogram machine.

Instead of relying on the old visit to the public health nurse, Cruise and Holmes plan to do their own nursing by watching their baby develop on their personal sonogram. Sonograms show fetus development through the use of ultrasound waves. This is a process traditionally performed by public health nursing professionals.

Public Health Nursing in the Cruise Home

• Expensive. The sonogram machine that Tom purchased runs between $25,000 to $200,000 dollars plus the costs of operation.
• Big Announcement. Cruise and Holmes announced her pregnancy in early October. This is Cruise's third child and Holmes' first.
• Marriage Soon? Cruise has revealed that the couple plans on getting married next summer or in early fall, although a permanent date has not been announced as of yet.

Not everyone follows in the footsteps of Cruise when having a baby. In fact, most people rely on the care of public health nursing professionals to ensure a smooth pregnancy.
