So maybe it was a little mean...

If you saw my intro then you know that DH and I just adopted our DS. Well yesterday we had our first dr appointment for him. DS has a full head of fabulous black curly hair and when the nurse saw him she immediately said, "oh you poor thing! You must have just had the worst heartburn during your pregnancy! Was it really bad?" I just looked at her and smiled and said, "nope! It was really the easiest pregnancy ever! No symptoms at all!" She looked a little taken back but said, " we'll that's good!" I then felt should explain to her, and she laughed. I guess I should have just told her right away...but what fun would that have been?!?!

Your post made me cry. (It could just be the pregnancy hormones) I'm so happy when people who truly WANT and DESERVE to be parents are able to have children. I can't imagine how esctatic you must be after 3 1/2 years!
Nah, I think it's pretty funny and she was a good sport.
DS is adopted and I will happily tell anyone who asks how much easier his pregnancy was on me that this one
My DH and I both have dark eyes (brown and green) and DS has lovely grey/blue eyes. I've had family friends who KNOW he is adopted ask, "Now, where did you get those pretty blue eyes?" My answer, "From his birth-mom." Just for the sake of making them think about what they are saying a little more. Maybe a little closer to mean?
Congrats so much on your baby boy! Even though DS is now in the midst of the full-on terrible twos and I frequently want to strangle him, he is still bringing more joy to my life daily than I ever thought possible. It is the greatest thing ever being his mom!
