Really? Really!

I got a message on my phone a couple days ago from the receptionist at my doctor's office. This is what the message said.

Hi Rosemay, I'm calling from Dr. X's office regarding your appointment on Thursday. I just had a quick question about the reason for you coming in...it seems as though you are coming in for an OB appointment and we aren't quite sure if this is accurate, so if you could call us back, that would be great.

Innocent enough, until I called back. Here is our conversation verbatim.

Me: Hi this is Rosemay Webster returning your phone call. You mentioned in your message that you had some questions regarding my appointment?

Rec: Oh, hi, yes. Our records indicate that you are coming in for an OB appointment, but it looks as if you should have had your baby a long time ago.

Me: What?

Rec: It looks like you should have had your baby a long time ago.

Me: Um.... (momentary silence, mostly because I wasn't sure if this was a real question or not) I had my baby in 2007...so......

Rec: Oh, so this is for a different pregnancy?

Me: Yeeeah.....

Rec: Oh, okay well that would explain why we are so confused. Thanks. I'll write that in my records and see you on Thursday.

Me: Riiight....

C'mon, could someone really be that dense? Is it possible to think that I was pregnant in 2007 and that I may STILL be pregnant? Really? Really! I'm still baffled, even as I write this. Maybe I should find a new doctor.

Congrats!!! Yes I would be questioning the office staff, maybe the lady is prego that works their and her brain is not functioning??!!!! That happens to me!

Sonia said...

YAH!!!!! Congrats to you guys!!! I was thinkin', if Mary can conceive a baby as a virgin, sure . . . why can Rosemay be prego for like 2+ years? hmmmm

looney toone! Like you couldn't be calling about something else. Like birth control, or a pap smear, or whatever. Or a NEW pregnancy. Poor girl was confused. Congratualtions by the way. It's about freakin time!

We hadn't heard. What are the detail, girl? We are so excited for Josiah. Chenae just found out that 2 yr olds are kind of challenging with new babies. But it is worth it.
