Ravings of a Mad Man: vol. 3.47 (Making lunch funny style)

Ravings of a Mad Man: vol. 3.47

It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid then open it and remove all doubt

-Mark Twain

 

            It always seems that when you start to tell certain stories people always have a story that is very similar to the one that you had or they have a story from the same experience but the outcome is completely different.  My point is people Jenny is prego and has been for 10 weeks or so now.  So this past Friday we had our first check up with the doctor.  The doctor wanted to visit with us before we went into the exam rooms so as we waited in his office we began to look around.  First we saw that he graduated from the University of Utah (aka The Lord's school).  So we knew that we were in good hands.  Then we saw that he went to Cincinnati for the rest of his training.  Oh and the frame was crooked with that diploma.  But anywho that is beside the point, the point is when he came into the room this is how the conversation went. 

            Doc. "How are you two doing… etc."  (He didn't really say "…etc" but you get the idea that we exchanged pleasantries). 

            Doc. "So Jenny do you feel pregnant?"

            Jenny: "Yeah I guess so…mumble mumble."

            Eric: "Is increased bossiness a symptom of being pregnant?  Because if so she is    pregnant."

            Doc. "You know they really don't feel well blah blah blah…"  (I was just joking but the doctor didn't know that, which makes it even funnier).

            Doc. "So Jenny do you have any complaints?"

            Eric: "What does she have to complain about?  She has a Wii!"

            Jenny: "No, I am fine." 

After some more questions the Doctor asked his second to last question, "Are there any birth defects in your families?"

            Jenny: "No."

            Eric: "Only me!"

Doctors final question: "Are there questions you have for me?"

            Eric: "Yes, we noticed that picture down there, (Picture of him just after delivering a baby). Was that the first baby you delivered?"

            Doc: "No, (with a weird look on his face as he explained that it was jus a guy that liked to take pictures) that was baby 2000 something." Bragger.  "Anything else?"

            Eric: "Yes, we noticed that you went to a school in Cincinnati.  Did you enjoy the world famous Labor day fireworks while you there?" (Thank you Erin for helping us connect on a more personal level with Doctor.)

            Doc: "Yes I did."  (Plus some more information regarding the festivities) "Have you two enjoyed them as well?"

            Eric: "No." (Blank stare).

            Doc: "Okay lets get this underway."

Then we went and saw the first ultra sound.  It's a boy and what a boy or that could have been its umbilical cord.  Jenny and I also think that the baby already has on a costume for Halloween.  So now we know that it is our baby.  What a cut up.

                                   

Trivia Time:  I knew Neil was awesome but I never knew that his awesomeness could make babies cry.  This week's question is how many more appointments will Jenny let me go to?

 

Beat the Odds Tip:  There are only a few places where you shouldn't make jokes.  I haven't those places yet but I know they exist somewhere.

                       

Have a good week I know I will now keep your fingers crossed.

If that's an accurate recollection of dialogue then I'd say that was your last visit.
