The next day my wife heeded my warning, “YOU better get a doctor and an appointment SOON.” Drama was to ensue.
At this time, we had no idea what that meant. We had a pretty good idea that we needed to get a pregnancy test done by a doctor. WE WERE WRONG. We called and the nice lady on the other end of the phone said, “Did you get and over the counter test.” My wife says, “Yes and both were positive.” The lady says, “Congratulations you are pregnant.”
Side Note: Here we go again; apparently CVS is now THE definitive pregnancy yes or no indicator in all of the land. Doctors have surpassed the point of lazy. Now they just ask you what your test said and agree with it. For all they know my wife could have chewed on the test and gotten a plus to come up. This baffles me. But then they hit us with a twist…..
Ok well your probably 4 or 5 weeks so we can make an appointment for you in three weeks. WHAT? My wife has a very pained sound in her throat. I don’t know what to think. My mind is racing as I think for three weeks the only confirmation I get is a $13 test strip. I just want a professional (or an old man with a cane) to tell me she is pregnant.
Ericka has called three doctors and each of them have not told her what she wanted to hear. She is angry. She is full of new hormones (duck out of the way world!). She is getting more desperate for someone to tell us for certain we have a kid on the way.
My wife actually is beyond the point of talking to the doctor so I step up to help out. I say look I know the first one you called you didn’t like so let’s call a different one. We do they tell us the same story. They do agree to let us visit on a consultation (with an actual real life doctor or so we think. It could be an actor they hire to deal with information freaks like us.).
We can meet the following Tuesday EXCELLENT.
