Cold days: 30 weeks, 6 days in utero

Last night the power went out in the middle of the night. Pui is trying to fight off a cold, and had been cold all day. Watching it snow (again!) all day when you are not feeling well wasn't a big help to her state of mind. She woke me up, and I got up and determined that, yes, the power was out. I figured that if it got cold in our room I could go wake up Dad and we could fire up the generator. So I did what any sleepy dad-to-be with a tired, anxious, sick, pregnant wife would do. I went back to sleep. 

Fortunately, the power came back on before either the room got cold or Pui decided to gently prise me from slumber with a hefty jab from her elbow. And when we looked outside in the morning, the snow was pretty much all gone. Whew! 

We spent most of the morning going over paperwork and scanning and printing documents. My sister had asked some of her friends about good pediatricians in the area, and passed along a lot of good recommendations. Now we have to start sorting through them. We already have some criteria: nearby, preferably with some previous experience with HLHS or major cardiac procedure infants, but mostly we want someone good. 

The day after tomorrow we go to the UW Medical center to meet our OB-GYN and tour the birthing facilities. Should be interesting.
