Search for Linc's Pediatrician

This past week, Dan and I interviewed two possible pediatricians for Linc. The neonatologist at Children's recommended we have one chosen before Linc is born so that the doc can be informed and meet with Linc in the hospital. The doctors at Children's will be overseeing all of Linc's care and his primary pediatrician will see him after he is discharged for vaccinations, check-ups and to help monitor his development along with the specialists at Children's. Both of the practices are comparable in size and near to our house, but neither of the two practices were a slam dunk. Both had things we liked, and things we didn't like so much. We have one more interview lined up, so we will see if this next one will be it! Of course, I can always take Linc to see Dr. Proffitt (my family PCP/OB) at least for a while if I cannot find a pediatrician close to our house that I feel comfortable with by delivery time. She is fully informed of our situation and I am comfortable with her. It would be nice to have a pediatrician a little closer to us since Linc will be going to the doctor frequently for shots and little sniffles, so we will keep searching.
