Mr. Jem and I met with Dr. K last night for a consult. We LOVE him. He's been in practice for 27 years, very easy going, very funny, very straight forward in his communication style. There are 2 other physicians in his practice. They have a good night/weekend service and sick visits on Saturdays. He'll come personally to the hospital to check out our baby after she is born, and then sends a nurse to our home 2 days after we come home to see how baby and mom are doing. Both Mr. Jem and I feel totally comfortable with him and are very happy that we got to meet him ahead of time.
My cold is finally clearing up. Slowly. I'm still coughing, which hurts, but the antibiotics and the nasal spray is working and I'm better enough to come in to work. I wish I could just stay home and rest for the remainder of my pregnancy, but I need this job (mortgage to pay).
I'm at 28 weeks, so the end is in sight.
OB checkup tomorrow. I'll let you all (those readers who are still following) know how it goes.

Yay! I bet it's a big relief to have a pediatrician lined up :)
Having a Pediatrician that you like is very important. It's great that you found him so early!
Finding a good doctor is always so important. Glad you felt comfortable with him!
Congratulations! A good Peds practice is a great find!
The visiting nurse is a FANTASTIC bonus. When I was in Norway the city sends every new mom a visiting nurse to make sure the kid (AND THE MOM, they check for depression too apparently).
28 weeks = viable. Way way way early, but viable. Everything else is jut extra development. Ready, set, go mamma J! I came around 30 weeks, 4 pounds - and I'm healthy today...
Wow! He sounds like an amazing pediatrician. So glad you found him. Sorry you are still sick. I can't believe you are at 28 weeks already!!
Glad you found a pediatrician you like, that is huge!
And I know what you mean about work...I work at home so I really shouldn't complain, but I wish I could quit work right now...but alas, bills to pay...
