New Dr

Today we have an apt w/ Little girls new pediatrician! I'm hopeful that the dr in this group will be more of what I expect. When we first had little girl, our ped. was wonderful! I loved her! B/c little girl came so fast I didn't even shop around for one, it was the recommendation on my OB when she told us we were having a baby that afternoon and who she thought was a good ped. for 'early' babies. For the first 4mo we were w/ her, Dr Burns was wonderful! Her office was nice and inviting, I never had to wait too long to see her, she did an amazing job, and she really listened to me and my concerns then put them to rest. 

When we moved here I had to find a new one - What a joke! First off, finding a Dr here is a feat in and of it self, then finding one that you like - Ha! I knew no other moms here to ask 'who might be good, who do you have?' and was left to fight for myself. After a recommendation on a yahoo group I found this guy that we've been seeing. The first apt we had w/ him was traumatizing for me. He not only told me that I was starving my child, he mentioned some other very hurtful comments about how small little girl was. I couldn't believe it! The best part was, I kept going back to him! Stupid, I know, but I was afraid that this was all there was. This was the only kind of Dr in the area, and I would just have to suck it up and deal w/ it. And thats just what I've done for the last 8+ months. Until now - I'm finally breaking free! We will be going to a group of dr, so if I don't like one of them, I have the choice to see someone else. I'm hoping that they will do better w/ little girl, and she might like them as well - this other guy was never good w/ her. I should have known, and gotten out much sooner, oh well, better late than never! 

So today we have our 12mo check up, and I'm sure that will mean shots and what not - I'm not looking forward to that, I'll have to hold her still while they hurt her : ( This is the part I like least about being a mom. Our apt is this afternoon, I'll make sure to post something about how it goes!
