“Great. So he is on track?” I said.

He nodded. “Very well. I’m going to give you some materials describing what you can expect as you get closer to the birth. Have you considered what you are going to do for care?”
“Care?” Davit said.
“I don’t know your situation, but most of my patients, especially the first-time parents, find it helpful to bring in assistance,” he said.
“I hadn’t thought of that,” I responded.
“Me either,” Davit admitted.
“Well, I’m happy to share some names. I’ve vetted them all personally, and would highly recommend any one of them,” he said.
I looked at Davit, who didn’t look convinced. I wasn’t convinced either. Still, I nodded to the doctor. “Thank you,” I said.

I nodded. “Yeah.”
“I…don’t know,” he said.
“I understand,” I said slowly.
“But?” he asked.
“But, to be honest, I don’t know anything about babies.”
