So, one of the things I hadn’t thought about was a pediatrician. Well, don’t get me wrong, I had known we’d need one, but I hadn’t thought much about actually finding one ahead of time…but one of my baby books suggested as much, so that the pediatrician could visit the baby in the hospital. Ah yes, makes sense.
So I asked by OB for a referral, and she gave me one (her actual pediatrician for her own kids) but said she didn’t know if she took Tricare (military insurance). I put off calling because I just knew she wouldn’t, and then I’d have to actually start researching and making calls to find someone.
But today I decided to just do it. And what do you know? They are JUST starting to take Tricare AND they are accepting new patients.
Oh, lucky day! 😀
I am going to assume that had I not waited as long as I did (really just like three weeks), they would not have accepted Tricare when I called, and I would have had to find someone else…but because I was a slacker, it paid off! YAY!
I go in to meet her next week. I want Tom to go, but his schedule most likely won’t permit it…
