One part of our move that has proven to be trickier than I'd anticipated is transferring to a new doctor's office. We went to a highly recommended doc (who is actually a google search fav apparently) and ended up waiting for 2 hours (I kid you not) to see him. Daddy P is much more patient than I am and we did stay and wait. But let me back up.
First of all, our current office is small, homey, with a little kids area in the waiting room, and probably 4 docs and 3 midwives. We walk into this office and it is cold, sterile, and very "manly" (I hate to rely on stereotypes here, but there was evidence everywhere you looked that only men worked in this office). Thirty women or so sat waiting for one of the 6 or 7 docs the practice has. We joined them. After 1 1/2 hrs. they put us in his office to wait the remaining 1/2 hour.
He was nice enough. And frankly, he had good reason to be late, having been out delivering babies and all. But I left less than satisfied, and after much thinking have decided to continue our search. Luckily I get to see our fav mid-wife one more time before we move, so there will be no loss in continuity of care. And our search continues...

I know of a birthing center in Austin with midwives and doulas. It's in a couple of houses, so it's pretty cute/homey. But no good if you want a certified doc. One of my good friends is a doula/massager there. I could hook you up with a free massage at the very least!
