I had a follow-up appointment with my ob doctor the other day. The first thing she asked was how I was feeling about being a parent, and when I told her that\u00c2\u00a0motherhood was much better than I\u00c2\u00a0had expected, she gave me a big smile. “You just passed my depression screening test with your answer,” she said. It was a cute thing to say, and it reminded me how grateful I am about having missed out on those “post-baby blues.” I experienced some depression\/down times during my pregnancy, and I’m so happy that I’ve felt so good since Zoe has been around…<\/p>\n
On another note, I have to admit that\u00c2\u00a0I was\u00c2\u00a0actually a little\u00c2\u00a0sad to go to my last appointment and say good-bye to my doctor (who was absolutely amazing). I know I totally complained before Zoe was born about all my doctor’s appointments (towards the end, I was going two or three times a week), but now I find myself oddly nostaglic for those times. Everything I went through at 400 Parnassus led up to Zoe’s arrival – and I can’t help but have a soft spot in my heart for that place and the people there. I know\u00c2\u00a0I sound\u00c2\u00a0terribly\u00c2\u00a0sappy, but it’s not my\u00c2\u00a0fault! (It’s in my blood; my father is the most nostalgic and sweet person I know.)<\/p>\n
