Babies

Some of my favorite patients are the smallest ones. It's exciting to see newborn babies and a little scary because they are so tiny and vulnerable. As someone without any kids and so new at this PA business, sometimes I feel like I need as much reassurance as the new parents do. They often have lots of questions. I'm supposed to have the answers, but don't quite feel qualified yet. Their babies come in all shapes and sizes - lots of variability still equals "normal." One of my highlights from the week was seeing a baby boy on Monday and again later in the week to monitor his growth. We'll see him again next week probably as a 2 week check up is pretty standard. It's cool seeing the same faces even when I'm only here a few weeks.
