Paging Dr. Wright! Paging Dr. Wright! Are you there, Wayne??

Crutchman says:

Yes, I am here. Who might this be? Do you need to see me for something? Do you need an appointment?

Cajun_Mama says:

No, but I do have some terrific news to share with you; thought you might be interested in knowing this.

Crutchman says:

What is it? Don't leave me hangin' in suspense!

Cajun_Mama says:

Are you sitting down? I think you'd best be before I tell you the news.

Crutchman says:

I am sitting down. What is the news; tell me!! Don't leave me hanging like this!!

Cajun_Mama says:

I'm pregnant. A month-and-a-half along. Just found out yesterday. Been getting sick in the mornings the past few days, and I have missed my monthly period. My breasts are also getting bigger, and they are getting to be so sore....*OW*

Crutchman says:

WHAT? You've GOT to be kidding me, Louie! You're joking, right??

Cajun_Mama says:

Nope. I took the pregnancy test right there, in Dr. Harlowe's office.  Yesterday. It came back positive. I'm most definitely pregnant.

Crutchman says:

Congratulations! Does Bill know? Do the children know??

Cajun_Mama says:

Bill knows; he's walking around like a proud banty rooster. He's tickled pink. As for the children, they will find out after they get home from school; I plan on telling them then.

Crutchman says:

WOW! This is unbelievable! You adopt sixty children, and now you're PREGNANT. WOW!!

Cajun_Mama says:

Isn't it just shocking??

Crutchman says:

You bet! I am so happy for you, Louisiana! This is world-class news!

Cajun_Mama says:

Tell me about it! If the press gets wind of this, there'll be news media personnel crawlin' all over the front lawn, hopin' to snag an interview. I can just see it all now. I wouldn't be surprised if the Today show showed up on my lawn once they find out.

Crutchman says:

Then you'll be world famous! Your family will be famous!

Cajun_Mama says:

I don't know if I could handle that right now. We've been on tv several times or in the paper, but it's not because of my being pregnant. That was enough. I felt like a bug under a microscope, and I am sorry, but I don't handle fame all that well. I'd rather people not know.

Crutchman says:

Yes, but how can people NOT know about you? You are one of the most giving, compassionate people I know, and you are doing the world a service by adopting children with special needs. Not many people can do that, you know. The world needs more caring people like yourself!

Cajun_Mama says:

I know, but I jsut would rather keep a lid on this--my pregnancy. I'd rather people NOT know.

Crutchman says:

I can see your point, but in any event, I am happy for you! Congratulations!

Cajun_Mama says:

Thanks.

Crutchman says:

Are you at work, or are you home?

Cajun_Mama says:

At work. I am okay for now, but I am scared to go to the cafeteria. If I smell the food cookin' I just might toss my cookies. AGAIN. If so, then I'll be sent home; that's what happened yesterday. Missed two hours of work on account of my sensitive tummy.

Crutchman says:

I'm sorry. I am home; I am off today. Enjoying the kids, enjoying my wife.  Having a great day so far.

Cajun_Mama says:

Good. I am at work, as I just said, but I don't plan on eating until I get home..that is, if I can last that long. Only have three-and-a-half hours to go before my shift ends. We'll see how this goes.

Crutchman says:

We'll see.

Cajun_Mama says:

Well, I have to go. I'm being paged to the E.R. A bad one coming in, I suspect. Gotta' run! Talk to you later!

Crutchman says:

Talk to you later, Louie! Thanks for sharing with me the good news! I'm so happy for you! See you at work tomorrow!

Cajun_Mama says:

See you tomorrow, Wayne! So long for now!
