Baby, today we went to the Doctor’s office to meet with the Nurse Practitioner to learn all about your do’s and don’ts. Much like a Mogwai you had a list of things we must never do to you. Apparently you are not to be fed too much fish, soft cheese, caffeine, or deli meats. Also, you are never, ever to be given any alcohol of any kind. Seems to me baby, you are missing out on some of the best things in life already. Caffeine...good, cheese...good, alcohol...good. I certainly don’t want you turning into a Gremlin though, so I will oblige. Although I have never gone 9 months without drinking since I first started drinking so don’t think this is easy baby. Just want to make sure you understand just how big a sacrifice this is.
The Nurse also asked us all about health and family histories. Your Dad took this opportunity to let her know that I may be allergic to Brazil nuts. I am pretty sure that at no point in this pregnancy will I be injected with Essence of Brazil Nut, but I appreciate his on-the-ball-ness. We were also charged with the task of picking you a pediatrician sooner rather than later. That seems like a very grown up thing to have to do. I promise to do my best and NOT simply close my eyes and point to any old Doctor on the list of recommendations we were given.
All in all it was a good visit, and started to make you feel all the more real. The next time we go back there we will get to see you on live TV and we can’t wait!
