I went to my doctor's office for a checkup after I had the stillbirth just to make sure that everything healed the way it was supposed to heal. So I'm waiting in the waiting room and they call my name to come back. And I go back there and the nurse sits me down and she starts giving me all these gifts for having your first child. She gives me a diaper bag. She gives me formula.

And I got up first. And so the other Heather that was in the waiting room, so they got us mixed up.

Things like that will happen. I had a dentist appointment where they were cleaning my teeth and I couldn't talk and they kept going on and on and asking me, you know, how many kids do you have this and that?
