Would you like a balloon animal with your pap smear?

I had a check-up on Monday with our local doctor.  I though you’d want to see what he was wearing (don’t mind the feet and arms).

The clown doctor

Bright orange shirt, multicoloured polka-dotted pants.

Yes, this is normal.

Yes, he is a medical professional.

He’s also a pilot.

I’m not scared.

While I was heading out, who should I cross paths with but a dear friend, her husband, and their week-old baby boy!  He was snoozing and looking very content in his…umm…thing that you carry babies around in.

I have a lot to learn before the X-man and I start procreating.

Um did you see an ob/gyn or a pediatrician?

He is crazy! I had an appointment with him last week that was quite literally 5 seconds long. “Let me see your arm okay good I’ll sign here talk to you later and tell Stefanie we need to go for that plane ride!! Bye!!”
It was just the 2nd appointment for my TB test though (for school) and he just needed to check my arm to see if I had TB (I have no idea what it would have looked like if I did have TB).

@Dutchess – he’s a GP. Rural area, he does, um, everything.

Last time I had an appointment with him was last spring (my first one in probably 10 years) and I just had to get him to sign this form saying that I was healthy as a horse and asked him to take a look at a bump on my arm that was scaring me, and he asked me probably 7 or 8 times if I smoked! I DON’T SMOKE! I kept telling him. Mom and Dad took care of that with financial bribes when I was 18.

Eri- Scott said that they called yesterday looking for you? You might want to call them and give them your updated info.

aw, I miss Dr. C. I don’t even have a doctor now and that scares me for when I start to procreate…let alone knowing what they carry babies in!

you don’t need to learn anything before you start having kids, it just comes to you naturally… and sometimes not so natural by means of other people sticking their noses in and trying to tell you what you should be doing.. haha
