I'm in anesthesia so I'm there for the birthing of a lot of babies. It's awesome when parents don't find out the sex of the baby.

As far as a pediatrician, ask around and don't be afraid to switch if you're not happy with who you choose!

Apparently my wife has a high tolerance to opiates. She had already had a epidural with the first kid when it was decided to c-section. She was pushed something else when they started cutting and she yelled and screamed at the top of her lungs. Before they made the last cut the anesthesiologist pushed something else that he said was enough to kill a horse and she still yelled and screamed from the pain. On the second kid I warned them ahead of time...

We didn't find out. Even when they took him out it was about 5 minutes before they told us it was a boy. He came out and straight to resucitation.

How do I go about picking a pediatrician? Dr. said start looking around month 3. Do you set up a kind of interview with potential Dr.s? I've talked with friends and coworkers and have a decent size list of "good" ones. How do I narrow it down?

First, get a list of ones approved by your insurance. Cross check it with the list you have from friends. Pick one or two and go talk with them. You can ask your wife's OBGYN too.
