I Suck At Meeting The Pediatrician

Yesterday, our daughter (Briana) met her pediatrician. Interestingly enough, yesterday was also the day Karen and I first met the pediatrician. Yes, I suck at meeting the pediatrician.

Normally, the process of choosing a pediatrician happens before your child is born. I am told that you are supposed to meet and interview with the pediatrician to make sure you like them enough to take care of your child and all of that.

Like most things in our lives, not a lot follows the normal flow of things. Before Briana was born, Karen and I had scheduled the whole meet and greet with the pediatrician for Monday. Apparently, Briana couldn't wait to meet the pediatrician and was born prematurely on St. Patty's Day. As luck would have it, Briana was released from the hospital last week and her follow up visit with the pediatrician happened to be during our original meet and greet with the pediatrician.

So whether we liked it or not, the pediatrician was Briana's pediatrician. Luckily, Karen and I thought the pediatrician was great. In fact, the entire staff seemed pretty good.

And naturally, Briana received rock star treatment at the pediatrician's office. The entire staff wanted to see her as she sat there sleeping in her car seat with a pacifier in her mouth. They apparently thought she was amazingly cute.

Not that I'm jealous or anything... I sometimes wonder what that must feel like now as an adult to enter a room and have a bunch of women start cooing at you. I'd be curious.
