(but that would upset the kids, so I'm putting it off until DH gets home)
I love my DDs' pediatrician. I tried 2 others before I found her. She's 5 minutes away from our house. She's great with my 3 year old and the baby. She's not just pro BFing, she actually knows about it (and extended BFed her own kids). She is supportive of my choices as a parent and offers information and alternatives without making me feel guilted or bullied into doing things her way.
Just to show how great she is, her office was CLOSED today, but after I called concerned about DD's nagging cough that has gone over two weeks and is starting to sound junky, SHE OPENED HER OFFICE THIS AFTERNOON JUST FOR US!
Why is this a bitch? Because as of 2 days ago, she doesn't take my insurance anymore. It was so sudden, she hasn't even had a chance to send out letters to her patients' families.
And it's all so stupid. My (moderately crappy) insurance company got bought by another (incredibly crappy) company. She wanted to keep accepting my plan, but they told her she couldn't. We just signed up for another year in October, so we can't change until then. We have huge deductibles on both kids (which wasn't a problem when our doctor was in the network). So now we either have to pretty much pay all of both kids medical costs out of pocket for the year or find a new doctor.
I don't want a new doctor, dammit! And I don't want to go broke between the 30% annual increases and the out-of-pocket expenses. $%&^%$##@! insurance companies!
