23 week (5 3/4 month) doctor check-up in Macau

We finally left our 5 star Refugee camp to have a 23 week prenatal check up in downtown Macau.  Thankfully, baby Peanut and I are both healthy and growing normally.  Scott finally got to see Peanut since our appointment in Miami at 8 weeks along.  Dr. Luo YiFan was extremely friendly, spoke decent English and her office was very nice despite the building entrance and elevator looking a bit suspicious.  Insurance was not accepted so with our consultation, ultrasound and testing the total came to 750 MOP (about $93 USD).

We also walked down the main drag of Macau with a ton of jewelry stores, designer boutiques, food stores with unique items like dried fish fins, and many more unidentifiable products.  We stopped into Pizza Hut to grab a quick bite and realized it is a little more fancy here, like a Ruth Chris but with Italian dishes.  It was better than we remember Pizza Hut being in the States but that may be due to the fact that it has been a while since we had good American style pizza.  Soup, garlic bread, personal pan pizza and "Pecsi" (Pepsi) all for about $12 USD.  Items and food outside the hotel cost about 1/3 of the price.

Where the heck are we...

Our days within the 5 star camp have also been wonderful!  Yesterday I got a long Swedish massage followed by lunch, lounging and reading poolside.  Scott has had a few meetings, however we both got to enjoy the resident Cirque du Soleil show ZAIA here at the Venetian Hotel.  It was spectacular!  Fabulous costumes, colors and performances with a twisted combination of Asian cultural.

We're hoping to have an all company meeting tomorrow to get more information on our future plans.  We'll continue to keep you in the loop.  Miss you all!
