This week is chock-full
of doctor visits. Yesterday, it was the pediatrician for Boop. Today, it was
the GI doctor for me. Tomorrow, it's the midwife for both of us to discuss
lactation issues, again. Boop had to have a catheter yesterday. Fortunately, the
GI doctor didn't have to do a physical exam on me and is just planning to wait
until I have some tests. So I scheduled my upper and lower endoscopy for next
month. It will be good to have that over with. Fingers crossed they will be
clean.

Something really strange happened today at the
doctor, though. I guess I just take it for granted that doctors are comfortable
with the human body and its functioning, especially GI doctors. Today at the GI
doctor, after the nurse did her intake, the fellow came in to do an assessment.
She was due in May, her first baby. I nursed through most of the assessment,
and Boop was fairly calm and relaxed. Boop was about finished when the
attending doctor came in. He saw that I was breastfeeding, seemed to avert his
eyes, did a U-turn for the door, and said that he would come back when I was
done. Um, it's not like I can't think, talk, and breastfeed at the
same time. That really shocked me. So, I unlatched Boop and told the doctor not
to leave. Last thing I need is to try to keep Boop occupied for another half
hour while he sees someone else. You know, he's a GI doctor. You'd figure he is
exposed to some of the less glorious part of the anatomy. Plenty of chances to
see female parts when doing GI procedures. I couldn't figure that one out,
