pediatrician decision update and other news

So the new-idea pediatrician called me back tonight and I got to ask all my questions and he gave all the right answers; so we’re done. I can cross “choose pediatrician,” off of my rather long, impressive, color-coded to-do list.

What else is on that list? I’m going to share it with you because maybe it’s interesting as an artifact of this final, peaceful month of pregnancy? Do keep in mind that this list is significantly shorter than it was this morning. I’m proud to have accomplished as much as I have…
