Our friend ZZ is a registered nurse working for Stanford Hospital. What’s a good friend for if we can’t exploit the privilege a little bit?
We picked tonight to drive up to Stanford Hospital to use their ultrasound machine to say hello to our baby. It is so magical and addictive to see that little thing move around non-stop in Vivian’s tummy. The kid definitely got my genes, he/she is so restless, flipping and turning at every moment! Vivian is in for a wild ride has the baby gets bigger.

After the not so pleasant experience we had with Dr. Lin earlier this month, we asked around for other O.B. recommendations, and search online for patient feedbacks. We eventually picked Dr. Takeshi Inouye of the Camino Medical Group, he had great reviews online and apparently had delivered over 3000 babies!
First of all, Camino Medical Group is a brand new, world class medical facility. Both Vivian and I have our family doctors here in the same building. It is close to our office and home, so location wise, this is the ideal place where we’d like to have our baby born.
Our first impression of Dr. Inouye was nothing but positive. He is very polite, knowledgeable and gentle. The way he performed the examination and answered our questions made us feel very comfortable and confident of his abilities. Plus, he is a good looking man, heehee, don’t laugh, this is very important since he will be the first face my baby sees when he/she arrives in this world! I don’t want the doc to scary the baby back to the womb!!
Dr. Inouye performed our first ultrasound, we saw our baby!! That little dude was moving non-stop, hard to even take a pic. Oh, we also heard the heartbeat, thumping at over 150 beats per seconds! This is still so surreal for Vivian and me, can’t believe there is a being inside her still flat tummy, amazing!!

We went in for our first O.B. visit today with Dr. Thomas Lin, friends of ours recommended him among few other doctors. He wasn’t our first pick, but he was the only one with an open appointment within the month.
Talk about a horrible experience, Dr. Lin’s clinic is in San Jose not too far from Valley Fair mall, the facility was old and a bit smelly but his staff was friendly and very personable. We caught Dr. Lin on a bad day I guess, he was battling a cold and had a constant running nose. None of this stopped him from performing the exam on Vivian (afterward we deeply regret for not walking out of there in the first place). While talking to us, he was wiping his nose every few seconds with is bare hands! I just wanted to end the session before he pass the germs to Vivian.
Needless to say, the first thing we did after getting back to the office was to find another O.B…
