In Good Hands

I have a great team of amazing doctors looking after me and B2 (baby 2.)  My local doctor and specialist are both fantastic.  But I have an in-home doctor who gives the best care.

My 2.5 year old daughter is by far the best doctor I could have asked for on my team.  At home, my little munchkin will don her dress-up gloves and grab her toy stethoscope.  In her most angelic voice, M will say, "Okay, I'm your doctor.  I'm going to listen to your heartbeat Mommy."  After a good listen, she tells me I have a healthy heartbeat.  Then she will say, "Okay, now I need to check your belly."  So, I'll roll up my t-shirt to expose my round belly with flattened belly button.  M will lay her hands on my belly and say, "Okay, you have a healthy belly, Mommy."  Sometimes she likes to end her check-up with a healthy dose of medicine: a good old fashioned zerbert.  She isn't worried about complications.  And I love her confidence!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am blessed to have a wonderful team watching over me.  I love the special care I get at home.  I am in good hands; though tiny they may be, they are mighty.
