Ok, so Johnny calls me today and tells me that he just got off the phone with his sister. I am thinking, yeah, that is nice, so....... Then next sentence is where it got good.
"Sarah told me that she was talking with a friend of hers and that friend mentioned the fact that you are pregnant (referring to me, Erin) and I (referring to John) am trying to sell my three wheeler to support the baby." Insert hysterical laughter here.
Erin: "I'm pregnant?!"
John: "Apparently so. Congratulations, honey, but just to let you know, I am NOT selling my three wheeler to support this kid. You will just have to have it at home. I will find a bucket of hot water, a pair of sissors and a shoe string. Good luck with that."
Now, just to keep everyone up to date here, I AM NOT PREGNANT. Yes, I am sure. Very sure.
Now, after John and I laughed our goodbyes and congratulated each other once more, I decided to call Sarah. I was after all curious as to where this rumor originated from. Sarah got a phone call from Michelle who asked, why didn't you tell me your sister-in-law is pregnant?? Sarah told her that was the first she had heard about it. So how did Michelle here this? Michelle's husband Bernie was approached by someone at work (Alstom) and given the happy news, so he, of course, phoned his wife and asked her why she didn't tell him rather than having him find out about it at work? We have yet to find out who the mystery source is at Alstom. Everyone who was involved was very surprised and wondered why they didn't actually hear the news from John and I, but my thing is, I had to hear it from someone else, and this is MY pretend baby.
And on that note, since I am apparently joyously expecting this pretend baby, do I get all those fun showers and parties that accompany a baby? Maybe instead of baby things, everyone could just bring cards with money in them. :) Sounds like a plan to me. I should get SOMETHING out of this deal. I am, after all, the one that has to carry and care for this pretend baby.

Erinlynn,
if it's any consolation, there's many a women out there who don't know that they're pregnant:until the baby pops out!
Usually they're on drugs (the illicit kind), in serious denial or haven't had a period if five years, so why start using protection now?
Now, have you taken a pregnancy test to deny this rumor?
JUST KIDDING!!!
The "doc"
;)
ROFL.... Doc, I haven't taken a store test, but I recently did the monthly do it at home kind. :) I am still over here laughing.
Those monthly do at home kind are the CHEAPEST around.
And so amazing.
Yet disgusting.
GAG!!!
I once had a patient in Mexico come to the doctor (me) to ask for a pill to stop her monthly. I told her, "Lady, if I had a pill like that to give to you, I'd be on it too!"
;)
No kidding!! Let me know when you find it! :)
ha! someone at houghton asked me how my baby was (a student, I can only hope he was joking) and I replied, "non-existant as always, thanks for asking!"
What is with people?? Do they assume that because you are married, you should be an automatic baby machine? Grr... And when I visited Houghton the first time after we got married, I was asked immediately if I had anything I wanted to share... *sigh* Sorry it isn't any different for you, sis.
