To Doctor or Not to Doctor...

If you read this blog much, you probably know I have issues with the pediatrician. I try to avoid going at all costs, which probably won't win me the mother of the year award (which I picture as a medal or maybe a bumper sticker that goes right below the stick figure representations of your family on back of your minivan). But, let's be honest, this day and age, you can get a LOT of information from the internet and after all who knows your child better than you? But, I have struggled EVERY time Z has gotten sick about whether to take him in or not and have been turned away with the 'it's just a virus' diagnosis and nothing but a sucker and some wasted time more than a couple of times. So here we go again with Lu.

She's been a little fussier than usual the past couple of days and even woke up a couple of times at night on Sunday night. She always went right back to sleep after we would go in there and hold her for a few minutes and darn if she didn't smile at us every time too, just to confuse us more. I was ready to take her in on Tuesday, but she slept peacefully through the night Monday night, and the nurse thought it made sense to hold off until her symptoms seemed more definitive too. So, for now I am in a holding pattern, waiting for angels to rain down answers to the age old question, to doctor or not to doctor?
