I went to a new doctor today, mainly because I haven’t had a regular primary care doctor since before college and also because I was running out of blood pressure meds. Yeah, that’s still an issue. Well not really an issue, as it’s being controlled well on medicine but I haven’t gone back to the 120s/70s that I was before my pregnancy.

So the doctor is a no-nonsense, tell it like it is kind of lady. She’s nice and was friendly, she just wouldn’t be my first choice to invite to a tea party. We were doing the physical and she asked “So how big was your baby?” I told her he was 7lbs 10oz, about average. She came back with “Well he certainly trashed your tummy” and then something about how stretch marks would fade over time.

And honestly, I thought it was hilarious. It’s true, there’s no getting around it, but my goodness who says that out loud? Haha, it didn’t infuriate me or anything, it actually endeared the lady to me. Oh well, no more bikinis for me…I wasn’t ever entirely comfortable in them anyway ;-)

Oh yeah, and she’s originally from Lockport/Newfane…weird…
