28 week dr. appt. went well....

'Is he kicking a lot?'
'Ayup'
'Ok, you're done. Just kidding. =)'

Heh, funny doc. It was a good visit. Weight's good. My belly measures 29cm which I guess is average for 28 weeks. BP good, a little low but good. I'm to record how long it takes for 10 'movements' within an hour each evening. For example, right after I eat or when I go to bed, I write down the time. I then count how many times he kicks the living shit out of me. When I get to ten, I record the time. Supposedly, something's wrong if there's not 10 within an hour but I have problems with that- what if it's not his hour and he's napping out? He kicks plenty throughout the day, and especially at night but it's still kinda hit or miss on when I start that random hour.

Doc asked about if we've talked to pediatricians yet so we're on the hunt. There's a small office (of the larger practice that co-exists with my ob office and hospital) right across the freeway and up one exit- how freakin' cool is that!? I was thinking I would have to drive over by the hospital/T's work every time we had to go to the pediatrician's office. That's Monday, we'll go interview/grill him- heard/read good things so far but there's plenty on the list and we still have about 2.5 months to go...

Getting another 4D ultrasound on the 11th. Get a tour of the hospital on the 13th. What else... that's about it for now. More later.

We do not leave for China until the 25th, so a nice little baby before we leave would be wonderful.

Not to rush you or anything! Love, D..
