It turns out that as a new mom I fit into the category of worrywart. Its true I kindda new this was going to happen mostly because I worry all the time about every little thing and E can attest to that. But here I am making mountains out of mole hills all of the time. I just took Z to the doctor yesterday for one of my many worries, it wasn't the first time and it will probably not be the last.
I took Z to the doctor to look at his little boy bits because I was concerned that his circumcision looked funny (I know its a strange worry) I thought it was swelling and looking not right. So I called the doctor and scheduled an appointment. When we got the the appointment the doctor came in and looked him over I explained the issue and she told me what was up. It looks completely normal the extra skin just bunches like that. I was so relived but I could tell the doctor thought I was an idiot. She was nice about it though (I am sure she must get a bunch of first time moms coming in all the time) However I did notice that before they let you book an appointment they make you talk to a nurse and tell them your problem, I am sure this is there way of keeping over worrying mothers like myself from booking a million appointments and wasting the doctors time. I am sure that my doctor was wondering how I managed to get through this defense with my silly little problem (maybe because it was the second time I called about the same issue :P
Anyway I have decided that if I feel that Z needs to see a doctor or I am worried about something then I am going to take him to the doctor, I would rather the doctor think I am an idiot than let something go uncheck and have it turn out to be an actual problem in the future. I will not be one of those moms who is taking her kid to the doctor for every little cough, but if its and issue that I can't fix on my own or can't find and answer to on the internet or from my moms group on facebook (I love those ladies so much, they are super supportive and have great advice and are a wealth of baby knowledge) I will be taking Z to the doctor. So go ahead think I am an idiot but the health and safety of my child are my first concern. I just want to hear that my son is okay and he is healthy and if that make me an idiot, well then I am an idiot.
