Pimpin'

Ok, here's the deal. My birthday is coming in less than two weeks. I have a baby coming in about two months. Mama wants an iPod - not desperately enough to buy one herself of course (think of how many diapers I could buy with that money!). Sign up for a stupid offer through this link and I'll love you forever. Be one of the LUCKY FOLKS to make my day! I chose the Blockbuster offer 'cause the last thing that I need is another credit card.

20 GB will keep me rocking through labor and will save the husband from having to hear Babes in Toyland and The White Album for thirty hours.

Ok, enough begging.

I met with the pediatrician yesterday. I was concerned that The Husband would not be able to come and considered changing the appointment for Friday but it was important to me that I meet with the owner of the practice and who interviews only on Mondays.

"Will your husband be joining us?"
"No, he's in a trial."

I said that twice. Once to the office manager and once to the doctor. Booo.

Regardless, I really liked the practice. The main doctor has been a pediatrician in New Orleans for twenty-five years and he has three female associates who all have small children. They work part-time during the week. There are NO NURSES! This didn't register at first but as the day went on, I realized what a wonderful feature this is. I thought about how much time I spent as a child getting shots and about the time I currently spend in my OB's office with her nurse. I imagined not having to explain symptoms twice during a visit. It's ideal. If I call into that office with a problem, I get a call back from a doctor.

In addition they are very good about seeing people on time and saving appointments during the day for emergencies. There are special waiting areas: a nursery, a well child playroom and a couple of rooms set aside for sick kids.

I couldn't be more pleased with the office and the demeanor of the the doctor. We sat in his office where he also treats his patients and chatted about vitamin K, Vermont and the use of antibiotics.

Although I generally choose woman doctors, I feel like I am getting the best of both worlds. I will have a doctor for my child who came highly recommended and has a quarter of a century's worth of experience under his belt as well as three female associates for my child to become familiar with.

My belly is really fat. Just in case you wanted to know. I'll take some pictures this weekend in my new cute preggo outfits.
