#Rihanna halfway through a pregnancy: performs the superbowl halftime like a boss.
Me halfway through a pregnancy: cannot possibly be convinced to fold that load of laundry.

You ever have the type of at-home day with your toddler that you think “if there was some sort of major event that we had to go to the ER, I’d deserve a CPS report based on my child’s appearance alone”? No? Just me?

My first patient of the day (yearly med and lab recheck) no-shows. She calls the clinic and gets in on one of my cancellations the next hour. I walk in the room and say my greetings. Patient: “I have a chiropractic appointment in a half hour” 🥴 I love primary care.

“Accidentally” opened the tote that has my son’s last summer 3-6 month clothes in it. My ovaries have immediately recognized this as a mistake. 🥹

“Patient’s knee pain increased more after running in some mud trying to save her chickens from a fox”- something I charted that brought me an unexpected amount of joy.

@MrsPA_C As a family NP with a one-year-old who stays home all day, I feel this deep down. Sending hugs and hopes for quick recovery.

@WhitDeterding This hurts my heart

@TheSpaceGal @TSA I think I would have said something along the line of “would you like to have me stimulate a let down and squirt my milk across the room to prove I’m lactating?” This infuriated me.

@DrGRuralMD Ugh such a tough transition. I can remember being exactly there. Feels like the end of a chapter. But you got this!

[Jenna Meldahl @jscharm]

@summerzee15 @hannah_bobbi Yes it’s in the approach!

@CodyBoyle1 They go from baby to toddler in the blink of an eye and it’s terrifying and awesome all at the same time

@Jordy2722 But why needing a test?! 🥺

Corporate has “per my last email”.
Corporate medicine has “did you follow the workflow?” #IYKYK

My mom wrapping jeans for my 19-year-old sister as Christmas gifts: “these are ugliest effing jeans I’ve ever seen”

Look I know it’s a busy time of year… but my canned goods in the same bag as my bananas and avocados…???
