Karen,

Unless of course the doctor is an OB/GYN and the mom uses the same 
doctor for her routine PAP tests, birth control,  etc like I did, and drags
the baby along for the visit.  Dr K got to follow along with Miss P's progress
for awhile at least before I got too involved in her medical needs to worry 
about my own.  Then by the time I got back to thinking about that, he'd 
disappeared from the local phone book.  Wonder what ever did happen to
him?  He was a nice man who liked to know how those babies where doing.
