Congratulations!
Congratulations on the arrival of your new baby! Parenthood is one of the most joyous and satisfying experiences of life. We consider it a privilege to share in the care of your baby and marvel with you at the growth and development of your child.
In the Hospital
We examine your baby daily while you are in the hospital. If your baby has any problem, we will discuss them with you in detail. One of our pediatricians will be in your hospital room every morning and will be happy to answer any questions you have.
The doctor who discharges you from the hospital will advise you regarding your baby’s first office visit.
Being a Good Parent
This website contains no secret to being a good parent. We are convinced there is no single best approach to parenting. Your baby is an individual from the day he is born. Since no two children are alike, your effectiveness as a parent depends considerably on your insight and ability to respond appropriately to the unique, individual needs of your child. Thus, this website contains general principles and instructions which you may adapt to your baby.
Our Goal
As your baby’s pediatrician, it is our goal to protect the baby’s health by assisting you in recognizing his needs. Our aim is to recognize problems early, and to prevent them by regular well child checkups, during which all aspects of health, growth, and development will be evaluated.
For your convenience, patients are seen by appointment only. Under the General Information section of this Medical Advice page, you will find our recommended well child check-up and immunization schedule.
"I believe Congratulations is the word you’re looking for." Words I never imagined I would hear from my husband more than once.
You’re getting married… Congratulations! Buying a new home… Congratulations. You got a new job… Congratulations!
A simple enough word expressing good wishes on a special occasion. Having a baby… CONGRATULATIONS! It comes so easily, right? You’re having your second baby… Congratulations (obviously you’re trying for the gender you don’t have).
15 letters. 5 syllables. 1 word.
You are expecting your third baby… your fourth baby… your fifth baby… Uh, , um, yeah.
This is where my sweet, sensitive, loving husband comes in. Whether to family, friends, neighbors, or complete strangers, when they hear we are expecting (GASP!) our fifth child, he kindly tells them, "I believe congratulations is the word you’re looking for."
When we were married almost 11 years ago and started our life together we knew we wanted a big family. We never hid this fact. And as our family grew, our hearts did too. There were times I worried or wondered if I had enough love to give each of our children. My husband and I talked often about this in the early years. We were extremely committed to making absolutely certain that each of our children felt wanted and loved and belong to a family that honors, appreciates, and values them and their unique, amazing, specialness!
Earlier this year, my husband and I were ecstatic excited to find out we were expecting our fifth child.
That excitement gave way to worry and angst as it became clear that other people had some sort of problem or discomfort with it.
We have heard it all.
You know how this happens right? Really? You’re hands aren’t full enough right now huh? How will you pay for college? Oh my goodness. Why? That’s crazy! You’re a glutton for punishment. There should be a law against having that many kids. Good luck… Good… luck…
I wish they didn’t hurt. But they do.
So be careful with your words. Your opinions on family planning or college savings or the fullness of my hands are simply not welcome or appreciated.
Congratulations is the only word you are looking for.

Parenthood: the scariest hood you’ll ever go through.
Don’t forget to pamper yourself a little after putting on the pampers.

For a Girl
Don’t worry about the difficulty of raising a girl. It is just as easy as running a marathon, doing your taxes, and wrestling an octopus at the same time, every day.
To the precious bundle you’re carrying, may she grow up to be as sassy as her Mom.
Raising a little girl is the best . . . until puberty.

Raising a little boy is a walk in the park. Jurassic Park, that is.

Boys cry, throw fits, eat all your food, and keep you up all night. Don’t worry, that’s only for the first 18 years. . .
