It's Real: 08/19/09

It's a strange thing when you find out you're pregnant. And to top it all off, the doctor's office acts like your life-changing news is just regular.

Someone should have warned me....This is how the whole thing went down:


Appt Gal: How can I help you?

Me: I think I'm pregnant.

Appt Gal: Ok, Have you taken a pregnancy test?

Me: Yes, four.

Appt Gal: Wonderful. Let's get you an appointment for September for your ultrasound and blood work.

Me: Huh?

Appt Gal: Excuse me?

Me: How do you know I'm pregnant?

Appt Gal: Didn't you say that you took four tests?

Me: Yes, but they were the cheap generic tests from the drugstore. Don't you want me to come in?

Appt Gal: No ma'am (I hate being called ma'am). Those tests are accurate. If you came in, we would give you the same kind.

Me: Huh?

Appt Gal: You're pregnant.

Me: What?!

Appt Gal: You're pregnant.

Me: Oh. My. Gosh.

Appt Gal: Ma'am, can we make those appointments now?

Me: Yes. I'm pregnant? For real?

Appt Gal: Yes, ma'am. You're pregnant. For Real.
