When I was pregnant with my one and only child, Dr. Adams would tease me about, coming in all dressed up looking pretty 😍, he said when that baby coming your going to forget about how you and you sure wouldn’t care who looking at you. And he was so right once I went into labor, he came in to see me and the first thing he said was you surely is dressed so pretty to and what’s the fuss about. I have never said I love my Doctor ❤️ like I did (do) Dr. Adams. You are truly missed by many.
