Relief in sight

When emailing Heather (hi Heather) a little update from Camp Sinki I told her I hadn't been feeling great. The next sentence started "other than that..." And when I realized that right now my life doens't allow for a whole lot of other than that, it was time to call in the reinforcements.

I saw my doctor this morning for our scheduled 1st pregnancy appointment. She said, "you look great!" I said, "I feel like crap." She immediately started writing out a script. I did not make out with her.

I really like this doctor a whole bunch. She respects my perspective, is a member of the team, makes sure all of my questions are asked and answered. And she hugged me. She's a mom who is also a doctor, and gave me some great suggestion to help get Willa ready.

Anyhow, first doctors appointment? Check.

Christina - specifically, she suggested that we get Willa a small bag of self-directed toys that she can only play with while baby's breastfeeding.

Why didn't MY doctor do this??? He had his second when I was pregnant with Maggie and since has had another. MEN :-). Hug your doctor for me, since that's a great idea. My mom and dad gave her a baby doll to take care of when I am taking care of Will, but Ms. Tomboy isn't all that interested.
