Are you expecting?

Four days after giving birth to Nevaeh, I found myself in a doctor's office type setting with her. I had just hauled her car seat, diaper bag, and my purse across a parking lot in 113 degree heat. Pure exhaustion for my already tired, sore, and sleep-deprived body. When we got inside, I put her in an empty chair in the waiting area and I sank into the one next to her, letting out an audible sigh of relief.

A woman across from me says, "Oh honey, that's not easy carrying around all of that stuff in this heat, is it? Especially when you've got another one on the way..."

I looked at her, said, "I'm not pregnant," and while pointing at Nevaeh, added, "She's only 4 days old."

Her response: "Oh... well, it's still not easy, is it..."

Asking a woman when her baby is due and then finding out the woman isn't pregnant would be pretty embarrassing. But assuming that a woman is pregnant, even after seeing that the infant she is hauling around is clearly under a month of age? Wow!
