C: Oh, She's really hungry. Do you mind if I feed Her here?
Dr Skin: Oh no, of course not, go right ahead!
C: Thanks.(throws blanket over shoulder. Throws baby under blanket. Resumes conversation.)
Dr Skin: (not listening whatsoever)....Wha?... (eyes big. Mouth agape.)
C: ...Um...?...
Dr Skin: Sorry!...It's just...well...you didn't even look!
C: (wondering if I've done something medically unsanctioned)...um...?...
Dr Skin: It takes me like twenty minutes just to get him started! How do you just do that like that and not even look?!
Huh. Well it's happened so gradually that I hardly even noticed, but I guess Little One and I have become pretty good at this whole nursing thing! Which my mom and J's mom can tell you, hardly came to us instantly. And which gives me a little confidence boost about how I'm doing at this whole 'mom' thing. At least I'm getting something right!
So before Dr. Skin continued with giving me Little One's skin advice, I spent a good chunk of time giving her nursing advice. You know. Just a couple of professional women, sharing their expertise. Oh excuse me. A trio of professionals. Just a reminder of the fact that whether I go back to school in the fall or not, I'm certainly getting an education.
Just an idea. It is possible to earn an MD (Mommy Degree) and a PhD at the same time. It's OK to do that. Just an idea.
