1. When you finally have access through your proxy, take advantage. Just because it works right now doesn't mean it will tomorrow (or even in 30 minutes).
2. When a Chinese doctor tells you everything is normal, they just don't want you to worry. They may actually be concerned and surprise you two months later when they wan to run a bunch of tests. (Don't worry, everything looks like it's okay. This new doctor just seems to be more conservative.)
3. Every Chinese doctor is different. What one tells you the other might directly disagree with. However, it seems they all agree I'm about to have a big baby.
4. My baby girl is estimated to be well over 8 lbs already. I'm only 38 weeks.
5. Plane ticket prices change every 5 minutes.
6. Moving, trying to buy plane tickets to America, finishing work and grading, and having a baby makes a very complicated and busy few weeks. Jia you!
7. Just because someone is due well after you doesn't mean you'll have the baby first. Congrats Emily and Nathan!
8. Even at 25 years old, you sometimes just need your mommy. Only four more days!
