Doctor's Visit

I don't actually have a family doctor anymore, so I have been seeing this doctor at the walk-in for the past year. He has inadvertently become my famliy doctor. I don't know if he knows that yet, but I do. That's what's important.

My doctor is very dead pan. No emotions, very monotone. Like the completely opposite of me. Sometimes I think he finds me amusing, but that could also be just me being a little arrogant.

I sat down, joked with him that my wart is gone from last time (I had a wart on my nose for a few months). He looked at me blankly. I was hoping he would remember me. I mean, I was funny! I even cried when he tried to freeze my wart! How could you forget?

Seeing the concern on my face, my doctor quickly forced a, "oh, that's good. Very good."

(sigh)

Then I told him I took a pregnancy test and it was positive! Now I have no idea where I should go from here.

I saw a slight smirk for a second. And then it was gone.

"Have you been trying?"

"Yes, we have been."

"How long until you were successful?"

"Umm...3-4 months?" (I lied)

"Oh good. Are you excited?"

(Big smile) "Yes we are very excited."

(silence)

Then he told me he's going to prescribe me some vitamins, he's going to order some blood work, and he's going to refer me to some kind of group who will be contacting me soon about seeing a specialist.

Then he typed on this computer for 5 minutes in silence.

Finally, he looked up, smiled, and said, "Congratulations! Now take care of yourself!" (with as much enthusiasm as he could muster)

I was elated that my doctor cared about me :)

I didn't even know his name until I looked down at my prescription. His name is Dr. A.

That was it! Short visit, not what I expected. But at least now I have a direction to go. Maybe I won't need to go see a specialist if we find a midwife. All of this is very up in the air.

When does the ultrasound come in? I have a history of twins in my family. I need to know if we're having twins. God help me if we are.
