So here in a few minutes Dave and I will be interviewing our first candidate to be our baby’s pediatrician.  Now as a former librarian, I know not to judge a book by its cover.  But boy is it hard to not judge when the cover of the “book” is a bad receptionist.  I’ve got a bad thought in my head already because the receptionist at this particular doctor’s office was not exactly the most polite human being ever.  I’m going to offer leeway though because everyone has a bad day, but considering the receptionist is my first line toward communicating with the pediatrician in the future…she could be annoying after a while.

I’m mostly interested in finding out if the guy will be really supportive and helpful of my decision to breast-feed, thoughts on circumcision, parenting techniques, alternative medicine, antibiotics, immunizations, when to start solids, making our own baby food, and eventually homeschooling.   So we’ll see.  If this one doesn’t work out I’ve got another interview scheduled in early July.

Finding a pediatrician is harder work than I thought.
