Today we went for the 34 week ultrasound. Even though it has only been 2 weeks since the last one, we are supposed to go every two weeks to keep checking on the progress. This time Thao wanted to go to yet another different doctor! We arrived at 4:30 to take a number, but the doctor only starts at 5pm. Luckily we had number 9, so we went in around 6pm. When we went in, the last number taken was up to 25 already! He must be a very popular doctor...
Compared to the French doctor, this guy really knew what he was doing. He did all the measurements very quickly, and I saw a good picture of Katie's face. I was lucky, because this time I was allowed inside and could watch the doctor, but Thao didn't have a screen to watch. But the good news is that Katie has turned with her head down now, so she can be born any day now! I guess all that walking helped... The doctor again said that she is a big baby, but her legs aren't too big. Okay, I guess she will be short and fat heheh.
Due Date: March 1, 2010
Gestational Age: 34 weeks (since LMP)
Weight: 2800g +/- 200g (+ 1/2 kg in two weeks)
Mommy's weight: 60kg (+1 kg)
To celebrate, we went to Kichi Kichi, which is our favorite Hot Pot restaurant because you pay one price and can eat all you want. It's like a sushi bar, but with your own personal hotpot. Last year there was just one store, but since it was very popular, there are now about 6 all over Hanoi. There is one very close to our house, but the people there aren't so nice and there isn't that good of a selection. This time we went to a different place, and it was so much better. The difference there was that at the start they bring you some plates of beef, and they had lots of shrimp that Thao loves. The people were very nice and Thao talked to the manager who was making sure everything was running smoothly. Thao said that is more like Japan style, since in Vietnam the managers normally do nothing and just make other people do all the work. But what Thao really loved the most was that this place had free pepsi! Even though she was so full and couldn't possibly eat any more, she had to order a third glass of pepsi, just because it was free! Okay, I know who will be keeping me up all night by going pee too much! :)).
PS from Thao: Oh I remember that while the doctor was doing the ultrasound he said more than 3 times that Uh oh the baby's mouth looks very big, so he turned back to look at Kyle and said: Oh, i know why, coz the baby's father's mouth is very big that is why... LOL.
Very good for me that the baby already turned down, so I don't have to worry about operation. But I will still walk a lot so easier to come out. But I still worry because I remember that all the doctors say that she is a very big baby, so probably will hurt a lot and hard to go out :((
