Pregnancy Advice and Recommendations:

1.  Be prepared you may be required to go on bed rest.
2.  Find and interview your pediatrician and front desk staff. 
     A.   Pediatrician: Ask his philosophy for treating children.  Ask questions that
           apply to your needs and desires.  Does he medicate first and ask questions
           later? Will he allow you to come in and wait in a vacant 
           examination room rather than in the germ filled waiting room?
     B.   The front desk and nursing staff:  How do they treat you when you ask for
           an interview?  Believe me we had front desks that were rude and
           unhelpful. Think how they will treat you when you have a sick child.  Find
           out if you can get the first appointment of the day or the first
           appointment after lunch.  Can you go right into an examination room? 
           Will they schedule all the kids at the same time?  We found a doctor’s 
           office that would not schedule three at the same time.  Mind
           boggling!!!
3.  Plan and prepare the nursery early. 
4.  Make your registry early too.   The first time I went to Babies R Us I had to 
     leave, too many choices!!! It took a couple of trips to finalize my wish list.
5.  Wash new baby clothes in baby laundry detergent as you receive them.  You
     will become an expert in laundry!!!  Get used to it.
6.  Enjoy your pregnancy!!!  I especially loved this time because I hadn’t done
    anything wrong yet. (I am always wondering what I am going to do that will
    send them to therapy?)
