Week 37: Bedside Manner
I love my doctor - he's both attentive and relaxed. His reassurance makes the long waits and curt nurses worth it. Today, though, he was out and I had to see one of the other doctors in the practice. Here is one of several short and frustrating conversations we had during my visit:
Me: Is it normal that I've gotten dramatically more tired in the past week or so? I have to take a break after every little thing I do.
Doctor: You're going to be tired for the next five years.
Wow, thanks, that's so helpful, the empathy is touching. Pray that it's not this guy who is on call when I go into labor. Seriously.

well i can defend him as far as saying he's an honest man, but that's all he gets. though i don't know that it will end at the five year mark. i expect my energy to return in heaven...once a mom, always a mom.
