Due Date

Today Keshia and I had our first pre-natal appointment. The patients that sat beside us as we waited were a mix of loud and boisterous and quiet and Mexican. Keshia and I discussed if I should go in the room or not when she met with the doctor. Being the hyper vigilant father-to-be that I am, I urged her to let me stay. Being nosy, I saw that the nurse brought in the wrong patient's chart. I secretly wondered if Keshia had an alias. I mentioned it to the nurse and she promised to get the correct chart.

With the right chart in her hand, the nurse practitioner was a young black lady who seemed friendly. When the questions the doctor asked reached a certain level, I learned that even fiancées have limits. I sat outside waiting with other young men that looked as nervous and curious as I was.

We were told that the due date is October 11, 2010. Keshia has a prescription for pre-natal pills. We will try to regularly update you on what is going on.
