Dr. Bob

Esther and I went to our first doctor’s appointment with our new doctor. We had decided to change practices and it has been about 4 weeks since our last appointment when we should have been going every two weeks. 

We finally got to our appointment and I, for one, was pleasantly surprised. 

After Esther was taken away for a the normal questions, blood pressure and weighing, we were lead back to Dr. Bob’s office. I call him Dr. Bob, because he said in his practice people were known on a first name basis. We were in his office for about 10 minutes while he went over all of Esther’s chart and previous records, asking us questions that weren’t completely filled in.

Dr. Bob walked us down to the exam room where he did the standard doppler and belly measure. We learned that the baby’s heart rate was 152, which Dr. Bob then explained the wives tale. Over 150 its a girl, under 150 its a boy. The nice thing was he was very clear to us and to his staff that we did not want to know the sex of the baby, we were both worried that in the transfer someone would accidentally tell us.

Whew.

The real reason why Esther and I are happy with our decision is because Dr. Bob talked with Esther and I about the melanoma that John passed away from. He reminded her to be putting on sun screen or avoiding the sun when ever possible. Because he went above and beyond a standard belly measure, I know Esther and I are very happy with Dr. Bob.
