     Louisiana instant messages a doctor-friend with the good news of her pregnancy.

This story is dedicated to Sarah Tagert; she was the one who suggested the idea. Thanks, Sarah; this one's for you! Enjoy! :)

Cajun_Mama says:


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!

I'm glad that she could share her news with someone, I remember being pregnant with my daughter, it was a hard time for us...Dennis had just gotten laid off from work, the bills were piling up...and I was itching to tell somebody, I finally told my sister! Boy did that feel good! Great conversation, this one just gets better and better!

Karen,

An excellent conversation between friends: Louie just wanting to bust out with the news, but worried about what people might think...that is world class news! Sixty adopted kids and then WHAMMO, pregnant with one (two? three???) of her own. Excellent write!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
