Choosing A Pediatrician

At my last doctors appointment my doctor said to me "Have you chosen a pediatrician yet?". I looked him a little puzzled thinking well no, Noah isn't even born yet and said "No there's a couple I'm looking at though". He then explained to me that they like to know who you choose for your pediatrician before the baby is born. I thought hmmm I'm going to have to go home and look at my information and see why because I obviously skipped reading that part! Come to find out that like to know ahead of time because they put it on your chart and paperwork that way when Noah is born HIS pediatrician will be who sees him at the hospital. After finding all this information out that was clearly new to me I decided today that since I go to the doctor tomorrow I would call the ones I had been thinking about going with and see if they would be taking new patients. Obviously I am going to call my first choice, Dr. Sultemeier, first. I saw him some when I was little and I loved him. They took all my information and said "We don't think he's taking any new patients on but I will give him your information and I'll give you a call back". Fingers crossed I was soooo hoping they called me back and said "Sure he'll take him!". I waited and they called me back and said "Miss Bradford I spoke to Dr. Sultemeier and he said he would take your baby as a patient be sure and let them know when you have him that he is your pediatrician" I was so excited! I got my first choice and I know now that Noah is going to have a great doctor!!
