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!!

Fourtyfour - HAHAHAHA!! Leg up...I didn't even notice that when I wrote it!! I guess as long as I've got my toes painted nicely, it doesn't really matter which leg, does it?
HAHA!!
How are you doing?? Are you still feeling good...you know, queasy and tired?? I hope so!! I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy, Fourtyfour!!!
Yeah, when i read your note all I could think of was all those women in l/d with their legs in the stirrups ready to go.
I am nauseous and tired. Today was a good day though and I actually worked 8 hours. Its 800 and i am ready for bed though. Thank you for your thoughts. I am so glad your pregnancy is going great.

HAHA!! I never thought about that...but I sincerely hope she didn't confuse the two terms - we had a nice little conversation about the fact that I am having the cesarean surgery...so I have no idea what she thought. Frankly, it scares me to think what she may have thought. It just still makes me giggle!! Glad you got a giggle out of it, too!!
Heather, I love your humor....especially the part of about all of us having wisdom far beyond compare. I agree!!! Thank god we are all so wonderful, smart and I'll bet extremely attractive.
Glad you are feeling so fantastic! I love being pregnant.
