Dr. McAwesomey

Grey's Anatomy might have "Dr. McDreamy" - but we are fortunate enough to have "Dr. McAwesomey..."

Yes, I've said it before and I will say it again. I absolutely love my OBGYN. He is seriously the best. And everyone that I know that goes to him as well, agrees tenfold, women and dads-to-be alike.

So I wanted to dedicate this entry to the renowned Dr. Dwight, who made our first adventure through pregnancy, labor and delivery the absolute best and safest experience we could have ever imagined. Thank you Dr. Dwight. There aren't enough words.

I've been seeing Dr. Dwight for over 13 years now, and so when it came time to start a family, we knew we were in great hands with him.

So many of my girlfriends commented on how their OBGYN only came to the delivery to "catch the baby" and then they were off, and that was literally all they saw of their doc during the labor and delivery experience.

So I found it very reassuring and comforting that Dr. Dwight was there with me and my husband at every step of experience. From the moment I called him to say we were on the way to the hospital, to my days of recovering, Dr. Dwight was there. He was there to check in with me as I was laboring away, and he was there to stay with me as I was nearing the end of dilation. He was there during my pregnancy scares, when I was sure something was wrong with the baby, and he was there to tell me that everything is fine, and never made me feel ridiculous for coming in, in the first place. He was there, always honest with me and the hubby, realistic but always optimistic. He was always there.

He's truly exceptional.

Did I mention I like to give him gifts? The hubby says that's why he is extra nice to us. When I worked at eToys, I sent him some toys, and then when we got pregnant and started to see him for our monthly check-ups, I sent him some Williams Sonoma Croissants, and now after the delivery, I plan to send him something again. The hubby always remarks on how Dr. Dwight is getting plenty from our insurance =) and already makes more than we'll probably see in this lifetime, but still, I plan to send him gifts...

I guess its just cause I really want him to know how thankful we are that he takes care of us. He played a big part in me carrying, laboring and delivering a healthy and happy baby boy. And I guess I can't thank him enough. I look at our son, and I have to attribute his safe entry into this world to Dr. Dwight. I may have carried him for nine months, but I couldn't have delivered him without the doc.

For those of you who are planning to start a family, and are in search for an OBGYN, I highly recommend Dr. Dwight. I'm not sure if he is accepting new patients, but it's worth a try, so drop me a line for the info.

I mean, he was good enough for Madonna, so you know he's the best.
