last friday, y and i met my third and final ob gyn, dr. mark dwight. his waiting room at good samaritan is very cozy. an amazing change from the last two waiting rooms we've sat in. there were a few people in there waiting with us that looked to be about our age/downtown demographic and it made us feel we were finally in the right place.
i first saw dr. dwight in the waiting room holding someone's infant, proclaiming what a feminine beauty she was. i couldn't believe this would be my dr.! he seemed so friendly and into his job. what a dream come true.
i'm so glad that i decided to have a natural delivery, if i hadn't i wouldn't have bothered changing dr.s and would have never landed at such a good hospital. dr. dwight said i can labor in the tub at the hospital and can walk around as much as i want. he also put my fears to rest about coming to the hospital too early in labor. i've always thought that if you go in early and are there for hours eventually some nurse or other will get fed up and start you on drugs to speed up labor but he said that would not be the case.
the appointment ended with a wonderfully telling ultrasound. that deserves it's own post. i'm so glad we got to see our little peanut.

Dr. Dwight delivered my baby girl in November 07 and he was fantastic. I LOVE him. Even though we've moved back east I want to come back to LA for my next one just so I can have Dr. Dwight. You couldn't be in better hands.
