Baby giggles

I love taking LG (my little guy) out now that he can really interact with people. He cracks up at everything and flirts with everyone. I noticed today at the farmers market, that every time he laughed, everyone around started cracking up too. His laugh always makes me smile, but I am a bit biased. I think everyone should get a daily dose of baby giggles. It would be great if you could have baby giggles on demand when you are having a rough day.

Baby giggles: 100% organic. Side effects include uncontrollable smiles, ab exercise, and bursts of joy. Highly contagious.

Definitely should be doctors' orders!

Med school....for what?

It has been really exciting sharing the news that I will be attending medical school with the people in our lives. I was surprised the numbers of times the conversation goes something like this:

Jane: Anything new?
Me: I will be started to medical school soon.
Jane: Congrats! For what?
Me: I am not sure what I want to specialize in.
Jane: Do you want to be a nurse?
Me: (not sure how to answer) to be a doctor.
Jane: Wow! You must be smart
Me: Thanks, I am really excited.

I greatly appreciate everyone's support and kind words. I am just a little surprised by the uncertainty and sheer surprise people show when I clarify that I want to be a physician. Do people go to medical school for anything else? I am sure it is just semantics, but somewhere in the back of my mind, I wonder why it is so surprising? Nursing and all health professions are wonderful vocations, but I find it interesting that I evidently don't exude med studentness... It must be the dark circles, sweats and pony tail. Wait, I thought that was med student uniform!
