Okay, so we ALL know how stupid people can be...as infertiles, we've suffered MANY a stupid and/or insensitive comment. Well, now that I'm pregnant, I've discovered that the stupidity of others just never ends.
Tonight, DH and I are at a bookstore and I'm hunting a book called "Cesearan Recovery" just so I can get a leg up on the pending arrival, and prepare for the recovery phase of a cesearan delivery. I say this to make sure we're all on the same page, not because I assume anyone here is stupid. Actually, I've come to find that this is a place of solace and wisdom far beyond compare!!
Anyway, I couldn't find said book, so I went to the "help" desk. The woman, about in her mid-50's, looked up the book on her computer and said they didn't have it in stock but could order it for me. I then asked her if there were similar books in store that I could look at tonight...so again she searched on her little computer...and searched...and searched...and SEARCHED...and then looked me straight in the eye and asked me this: "Will this be for AFTER the baby is born?"
HELLO??
No, I was actually hoping for a book about the pre-natal c-section recovery process, but I guess I'll take whatever you've got handy.
Oh, holy cow! I have not stopped laughing about it since...and that was three hours ago! Is it possible that you can honestly NOT know that recovery from a c-section would involve the period of time that occurs AFTER you've had a baby?? HAHAHAHA!! That just struck me as SO VERY FUNNY! Perhaps it's the exhaustion, but I can't stop laughing!!
I truly hope each of you is well and enjoying this new phase of our lives...I've never felt more alive being pregnant, and never more grateful for each passing second. I pray every single day that our sisters upstairs are able to join us down here soon!!
Love to you all!!
