FMK - Finding a doctor

It may not seem like such a big deal. You look at your insurance policy, find a doctor close to you, maybe even talk to a friend, and you go and have a baby. Not so. It is hard. Your mother went to a new doctor today. One where she feels comfortable. And that's important. You see, the first doctor we went to up and disappeared. Just, gone. No warning. No explanation. Not even so much as a phone call. So, we went to a new doctor. Not the greatest place. The clientele left something to be desired and the staff, left a little something more to be desired. I do not think it is too much to ask people to be proficient at their jobs. Not great mind you. Not above and beyond, just competent. Well, after misread or just plain ignored medical charts, rough nurses, and overall bad experience, we have found a new doctor. And that is what matters. Your mother is happy with them. She feels at ease. That is all I care about at this point in time. The more comfortable she is, the better the situation will be for you. We want you healthy and happy. We want you safe. We want to know who the doctor is going to be before he sticks his hand in your mother's bits, not after. I have not met them yet but your mom is a good judge of character. It is her job after all. She says they are good people and I believe her. I have to. I have no frame of reference for this sort of doctor. So as it stands, you will be born at Lakeland Regional Hospital. Which is good. It is right around the corner from where we currently live. If your mother needs to go see the doctor, she does not have to take time off from life to do so. It now becomes part of life. Plus it means I do not have to drive to Brandon when you are born which trust me, is not the most simple of drives. So I am excited. Everyday things are being taken care of. Progress is being made. Soon we will know whether you are boys or girls and we can start buying shit. It is very hard to walk past things at Target and the like and not buy them. I want your room to be awesome. With monkeys. I mean, who doesn't love monkeys. So soon, we will know. And soon you will be here. And I cannot wait.
