Love My Ladyparts Doc

Love My Ladyparts Doc *If you are reading this and you happen to have a penis, you might want to skip this post.Might be too much estrogen here for you to handle by yourself.Go watch some UFC or a Rocky movie.I think there's an episode of Cops on right now!There you go....buh bye now.

I really love my ob/gyn.I don't know if this is bizzare, but ever since I had Bella I miss my doctor!And I normally HATE doctors.But this lady is awesome.Let's call her Dr.Addy.She helped me cope with and manage my pregnancy problems better than Critter (that may be harsh but its true).She paid attention to what she saw and also to what I SAID, always.For so many months I saw her every month...then for a long time every week...and toward the end every other day!Then Bella came and poof!She was gone from my life.I went for a checkup yesterday and I was looking forward to it like it was f**king CHRISTMAS!В I hadn't seen her in person in 10 months.Before she came along, IВ have never approached a visit to the down-there doc with anything but nervous aprehension.

Maybe I've just had bad doctors my wh*le life...but I swear I have NEVER felt like doctors really paid attention to me until I met her.They do their job, they look at some chart or history in the computer, they pretend to listen to what I am saying and then prescribe treatment like it's some kind of fill-in-the-blank on a standardized multiple choice test.InВ my adultВ life, I'veВ had about 3 ob/gyns, and 6 primary care docs that have considered me a regular patient.All were horrible or mediocre at best compared to Dr.Addy.

She's in the same building as all our doctors - so I stop in her office once in a while (because I'm like a frequent flyer with Bella's ailment-of-the-month).Just to say hi to the nurses, and her if she happens to be free.So...in the spring of this year (about 6 months ago)В Bella and IВ stop by.It had been at least 4 months since I had seen her or her staff.The nurses oogle over Bella and seem geniunely happy to see me.I ask: "Is Doctor Addy in?" No.....SHE'S ON MATERNITY LEAVE.SHE HAD TWINS!!!!!

I'm like "what?" wow!Awesome.That makes 3 kids for her, all under 4 years old.After a few minutes of pure, genuine happiness for her family...my selfish side kicked in like a mule.OH MY GOD, IS SHE COMING BACK???!!!

This may sound silly (me?silly?) but the thought of having another baby without her terrifies me on many levels.And even though I'm nowhere near ready to move forward with THAT - I still have to have her on board, and know that she will be my doctor for years to come.Oh and I guess I would need Critter as a willing accomplice as well.

I also started to think...wait a minute...I saw her in October and even though I have no math skills...my calculations tell me that she HAD to be pregnant then!And she didn't tell me!!!I thought we were BFFs?Turns out she does a great job of making me feel like we are BFFs without divulging her wh*le personal life to me.Genius.

So the good news is she did come back.And our grand reunion yesterday was exciting.I brought pictures of the baby she lovingly cut out of my uterus 16 months ago.We talked (briefly) about her family and the new additions.She remembered the card I sent her back in June when she returned from maternity leave, she remembered and asked about my best friend who came to my 6 week follow up appointment with me (I know that shit is not noted on any chart).I recapped for her what my vagina has been up to for the past year (I'll spare you those details).It was wonderful.
