I've never done an ultrasound. I would think it an unnecessary expense this early into the pregnancy. X-rays aren't done until a week before the due date. They aren't always exact with numbers, but are helpful if a pup has gotten too large to pass through the canal. I don't always do an x-ray either. You just keep on asking and searching for what you need to know and if there is something you'd rather PM me with, I'll help you in any way I can.
