6 Mo Checkup & Some News...
I had my 6 mo checkup with my awesome OB this morning. Baby Boy is growing perfectly. I'm doing very well. I've only gained 9 lbs in the 23.5 wks and my doc is very happy with that.
Now for the news... I LOVE my OB so much! We're moving 45 minutes away this weekend and I was totally planning on staying with her and having my baby in the hospital down here near her office so she can deliver. But she dropped some news on me this am... She too is preggers! She's due 3 days after me! So she's not going to deliver my baby. And she's probably not going to go back to work after having her baby either! OY! OK... so time to find a new OB up near my new home and find a hospital that I like. OH... and my OB said that she's gained more weight than I have during pg. So that's good for me!

Great News..on your baby boy that is..... Not so great about the OB. I know here on Maui its tuff to find a Dr. you like. Hope your replacement is just as good. My OB did not deliver my first since she was not the one on call when I delivered. I can tell you that the delivery Dr. is with you for a VERY short time - at least that is how it was for me. I'm talking he didn't come in until the baby's head was coming out up until that point it was the nurses who did everything.
Good luck!
Good luck!

Congratulations on all the good news!
I know the feeling after my first daughter my OB left and I was so sad. Not sure if you are closer to Mountain View but the Altos Oaks Clinic at El Camino Hospital Rocks! And they are just upstairs from L&D I have ALWAYS gotten my Dr. to deliver, with my last baby she just ran downstairs and asked patients to wait! Love her!
