02/12/2005 Archived Entry: "new doc"

We took Daisy to her one week appt. yesterday. Or at least, we took her to the office. I have wanted to switch pediatricians for a couple years now. Not because of the doctor, she is just fine. But her office staff bites the big one. Yesterday was the last straw. They wouldn't accept the fact that Daisy is automatically covered for 30 days on Chris's insurance. They even talked to the insurance company (as did we) who said she was covered even though they don't have the paperwork in yet. The doctor's office wouldn't accept that and said we'd have to be a cash patient and get reimbursed by the insurance company. Um....no. Add that to the fact that I was asked by both of the office staff members if I was sure we had an appt (yes) and they couldn't seem to get their heads out of their, ah, behinds, and we left, came home and went with a medical group that comes highly recommended by just about everyone I know in the area. Not to mention, it's the same group I saw my ped. and my sister saw hers. Although, we'll be going to a different office with different doctors, it's run by the same people. Chris had a very pleasant phone experience with them yesterday so as long as the appt. next week goes well, then we have a new ped. Not that we use them much. Tabitha hasn't been in two years, but I do have to get a doctor's signature on a health form I need to keep on file come this October (for homeschooling purposes).

In my opinion, there is nothing sweeter in the world than gazing at a sleeping child, of any age. Last night I got to see them both what with the little one sleeping on me and the other sleeping (kinda) in between Chris and I due to a bad dream. Tabitha was saying how it's the family's bed. That would be lovely if Tabitha didn't kick, Chris didn't sleep on top of whomever is next to him and I didn't want to sleep on my tummy (which I do, but can't with baby on me, obviously). Not to mention, when Tabitha is in our bed, she doesn't exactly sleep. She woke me up just as I nodded of to try to tell me something about nothing important. Ten minutes later I put both children back in their own beds so I could get a solid hour and a half of sleep.

Chris took Tabitha to hula this morning since it's at the rather early time of 8:00am. I was wrong about the length of her class, it's an hour on Wed. but an hour and a half on Saturdays now. I imagine that won't change until after the big show the halau puts on in May. I'm supposed to be getting dressed since the baby is asleep, but here I sit, a slave to the online world, lol. Of course, the minute I stand up to wash my face, you know she'll be gurgling for me. It's a good thing she's so cute :)
