The Florida Highway Patrol and Me
So today, I had a great experience! I had an early morning appointment with my ophthalmologist (Point A) to check on my cornea transplants followed by a meeting at the Children's Hospital (Point B) with the Vice President and NICU Director. I was driving from Point A to Point B and stopped at a stop light to turn left. A Florida State Trooper car pulls up on the right side of me and motions for me to roll down my window...
Thoughts go through my head.... What is wrong with my car? Did I turn my directionals on? Was I speeding? Is it because I have this hot red Kia Sportage with a UGA Bulldogs tag holder? Oh no!
I roll down my window.... He says to me...."What's the deal with 40 Weeks?"
I laughed. "40 Weeks is the number of weeks for a full term pregnancy!! Takes 40 Weeks to grow a baby!! I deliver babies!"
He responded with a smile, "Oh Ok Ma'am! That is cool! Makes Sense! I just had to ask!!"
I start laughing and say, "Have a great day!"
You made my day Officer! Go the Full 40!
What a great way to expand the conversation about Normal and Term Birth! You're one of my maternal/child leader heroes!
