I went to my new gynecologist this week. He’s a dude. I tried to find a woman in my area with good reviews that accepted my insurance, but there were none. He was super nice though. I told him I switched gynecologists because mine didn’t deliver babies up by where I live. You know you’ve reached your scary age when people stop telling you you’re too young to be thinking about having kids. I appreciate the non judgement, but I am too young, don’t you think? Anyone? <\/p>\n
I might be old enough, but I’d still rather wait at least another year. I mean, once you have one, you can’t take it back. I really like my life right now. I didn’t have much fun in high school or college. I spent a lot of my time working on my site. Now that that’s my job, I’m discovering new hobbies and I spend my free time doing traditional fun stuff like, you know, socializing.<\/p>\n
Babies are a lot of work. I feel like a dog would be too much work, never mind a baby. I can’t keep the house clean now. And they’re expensive. I’m not saving a whole lot of money right now. Granted it’s been a super expensive year, but with a baby, it will always been a super expensive year.<\/p>\n
And despite the positive things Rachelle has to say about daycare, I really hate the idea of leaving my kid for 40+ hours a week with someone, well, who isn’t me. I realize that this will always be an issue as long as I’m working and we need me to be working, but it really bothers me. I can work from home several days a week, but only if I’m not the primary caregiver for a child while I’m working, which makes sense. That’s still probably the best option, though I hate working from home.<\/p>\n
Then of course there’s the whole pregnancy and childbirth thing. No seasonale, no painkillers NO ZYRTEC. And oh the decisions to make. It’s not just drugs vs no drugs, breast feeding or formula it’s do you want to give birth in the hospital, birthing center, home? Which hospital, which doctor, c-section or natural? Lying down, squatting, in water? I’d like to be drugged up, but I also think I’d rather have gravity on my side… <\/p>\n
The only thing I know for sure is that my kid is getting vaccinated. Vaccinations only protect us as a society if the great majority of people do it. I think it’s incredibly selfish and dangerous to not vaccinate. \/end rant<\/p>\n
Um, yeah, I was just going to write a paragraph about how my new doctor is cool, but I guess I got off topic a little. Hey, who watched Ringer last week? That looks pretty decent, right? Work picnic at the beach Friday, that was… not worth $18. How many days until Italy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
