And my boys, who are fully grown now, say that they didn't feel short changed at all. But I feel your guilt because I second guessed myself many, many times over the years.

Women can be so mean sometimes. If anything, I have some concern for the toll a rough schedule can take on a person.

I think my dr does the majority of the call schedule as the new guy in town. I have often seen him at the hospital on holidays like the 4th of July (saw him running around in scrubs when my daughter was readmitted for jaundice. Saw him the day after Christmas, when I was admitted for orthopedic surgery). I have often thought how terrible for him and his family. His kids are older than yours though. <BR/><BR/>I hear you when the dh is out of town. Mine went out of town for work for a month and it was tough!! I will say that the house ran better with only my rules in charge and it stayed clean too! Dh is going out of town from the 24th-28th and I am dreading it. <BR/><BR/>Hey and I finally got a diagnosis on the pelvic pain for that I have had since my 2 year old was born. I requested to see an out of network endometriosis and pelvic pain specialist and my obgyn gave it. He formally diagnosed me with endometriosis and possibly adenomyosis. I am start doing trigger shot injections next month. Glad to have an answer even if it sucks that it is endometriosis. <BR/><BR/>So glad you are back!A Lupie Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618715500094103713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-14601847981029472912007-10-13T21:38:00.000-04:002007-10-13T21:38:00.000-04:00Hear, hear!!!

Everybody does the best that they can do. I haven't had kids yet, but I know that I am NOT the kind of person who will be able to stay at home with them. I will be a better mother for being happier and well balanced. Anybody who judges me by saying that they don't see the point of having kids to have them raised by somebody else is completely lacking in insight, understanding and empathy, and needs to build a bridge and get over it!<BR/><BR/>*End rant* ;)<BR/><BR/>Thank-you for posting. Without seeming too gushy, women like you are role-models for younger (slightly!) women like me, who need to know that it is possible to have children and work in a full-time and demanding (but wonderful!) career.The Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02368935358031860432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-42622653109537621612007-10-13T19:01:00.000-04:002007-10-13T19:01:00.000-04:00my own woman: If only it were that simple.

Unfortunately, the pertussis vaccine isn't protective into adulthood, so, there are constantly adults running around with pertussis (which doesn't have as severe or classic presentation in adults). Adults provide a reservior of infection for kids who are too young to be vaccinated, unfortunately. I hope Bean feels better soon.<BR/><BR/>I know the lifestyle debate well. I don't have any kids, but I wouldn't want your call schedule. I've heard that sanity in ob/gyn is directly proportional to the number of people in your group, and I believe it. It sucks that you were kind of misled about your call schedule.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on getting the student loans paid down!! :)Midwife with a Knifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04309579302399381913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-74582760441940029272007-10-13T17:42:00.000-04:002007-10-13T17:42:00.000-04:00Thanks for your comments on motherhood/career, as ...Thanks for your comments on motherhood/career, as a female medical student (who cops a lot of the aforementioned misogynistic rhetoric from both sexes), I really appreciate it. <BR/>Good luck with sorting out the work/life balance, hope you have a good weekend with your babies. <BR/>Dragonfly :-)Dragonflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12759938692575603663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-50214140174034651982007-10-13T13:20:00.000-04:002007-10-13T13:20:00.000-04:00Why oh why don't parents vaccinate their children?...Why oh why don't parents vaccinate their children?
