Today has been a pretty jam packed day. There was the surprise shower at work which I wrote about, the nursery got painted and we met with the pediatrician.
The nursery looks awesome! It is not too green and just soothing enough that it feels like a bedroom and a zen destination all at once. I figure between Mike and I, we will need to have as calming an environment as possible for the baby. Although Mike is pretty even-keeled. Me - well let's not go there. I'll take some pictures once the furniture is delivered and we have done some decorating. That won't be until after the baby is born though.
We met with Dr. Janice Salem. She is a pediatrician in Lakeview who was recommended by my OB and who we hope will be our doula (more on that later), Rita. Dr. Salem was very nice. Not really sure what I was expecting to get out of the visit to be honest. I guess I just wanted to meet her before the baby arrives rather than having a complete stranger come to the hospital and meet her there for the first time. The practice seems very supportive of breastfeeding and continuing to breastfeed once back at work which is important to both Mike and me. There are 4 other doctors in her practice, all female. If we have a boy we can decide later if we want him to see a male pediatrician.

Wow what the new world of comminication allows us to do. It sounds as if you and Mike are ready for the little one to arrive.
