28 week ultrasound

It seems like it has been awhile since the last ultrasound... but actually it's only been 1 month.

This time we went again to the 2nd doctor, the one where I couldn't go inside, but not the grumpy mean doctor. When Thao booked the appointment a week in advance, we were given spot #13 on that day. We were told to be there at 9:30am, but since last time we had to wait a long time, we came at 10am instead. But still we waited sooooo long. When we came there, there were a lot of pregnant woman waiting there already, and at the waiting room outside there were a lot of husbands waiting. And finally after waiting so long, they were only at #9... But one doctor that came from outside asks the girls "Who has the young handsome foreigner husband waiting outside?" So Thao said "yes it's me, he is 2 years younger :(" So the ultrasound doctor said "oh, it must be terrible for him to live in VN, and waiting so long outside... And also to have an old ugly wife! Ok, come here quick!" heheheh but at least she did not have to wait more!

Due Date: Feb 18, 2010 +/- 5 days
Gestational Age: 28 weeks (since LMP)
Weight: 1400g +/- 50g
Mommy's weight: 59kg (+4 kg)

Katie is growing up fast! And Thao is gaining weight now, but just in her belly. Some people are surprised that her hands and feet aren't swollen up like other pregnant women. She has a good appetite and always wants to eat something like fruit or sugar cane. The doctor did say that she should walk more every day so that the baby can turn head down, but from what I read that usually doesn't happen until 32 weeks or even 35 weeks so it isn't anything to worry about. But it's still good to walk a lot for exercise!
