Tomorrow is my first doctor's appointment since our 20 week sonogram and the phone call about cysts and d.s.
It's FINALLY here. It seemed to take forever, but I've got my questions ready.
----
Funny story: At the grocery yesterday, the cashier and bag person both asked how far along I was. I said 24 weeks, and the cashier said, "Oh, so just over two months along." I fumbled with the keypad trying to follow instructions, but a part of me heard her and wondered where she came up with that. Of course, then I was trying to finish up paying, while doing simple division...24 divided by roughly 4 should be 6 months. The bag person then said, "Oh, she's more like 3 months along...I was doing 12 months instead of 9 months for pregnancy." I just smiled, said 'thank you' for their help, grabbed my bag and left. I obviously wasn't much help...I get all frazzled doing the simplest math in public, under pressure. I forget that unless you're pregnant, people don't know what the hell the weeks mean. Now that I'm showing enough, I need to remember how many months, to avoid future math debacles.
Good luck tomorrow!!! I'm not sure if this will ease your mind any, but I just had my ultrasound this past Monday and the cyst that they saw the last time I was there had disappeared. So, I'm hoping you hear the same thing. I suppose it's a pretty common thing. And yes, before I was pregnant, I had no idea what the weeks meant...but I think I would have figured out 24 weeks does not equal 3 months along... :/ (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteWill be thinking of you tomorrow, hoping everything goes smoothly and you get answers that reassure.
ReplyDeleteWow, those grocery ladies were VERY off, that's hilarious. I can't believe they thought 2mths...guess thats why they work in a grocery store!
Doi yoi yoi! 3 months. They're confusing multiplication, fractions, division and percentages . . . ahh, youth.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, will be thinking of you tomorrow and will be anxiously awaiting news. I've an appt myself tomorrow, so you'll be in good karmic company ;) Hang in there

Thinking of you.. and I keep forgetting only BLM's (baby loss momma's) know who we are.. A friend of mine asked if a BLM was a type of IBS.. I should really think a little before talking - Hoping for your little guy at the apt.
ReplyDeleteOh, pregnancy math! A vet tech asked how far I was today--I'm almost 28 weeks, but I was scrambling to do the division too.
ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow!
Wow- that was some special math today!
ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow!
Thinking of you and Simon... I hope you get all the answers you need tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWeeks only make sense to women who have been pregnant... everyone else is lost, including me at times as I can never do the math fast enough to figure out how many months along I am either!!

That is hilarious. I can never remember what the weeks add up to either. I now round to months.
ReplyDeleteI was really sick yesterday and catching up on blogs today, so hoping today goes well. All my love with you.
Wondering about yesterdays news. Thinking of you.
