I'm pregnant.....and I thought it was obvious

There is no question I'm pregnant. We left the "is she getting fat or pregnant?" stage months ago. I get questions about the due date and sex (male or female) everywhere I go from complete strangers. But this morning at the dentist, they couldn't seem to figure it out. 

I will admit I wasn't going to make it easy on them. As soon as I saw the look of fear cross over the hygienist's face as she looked at my belly, I chuckled to myself. She was in a horrible situation. She HAD to know whether I was pregnant or not for the xrays, but if she asked and I wasn't she would basically be announcing she thought I was fat.  She kind of small talked for a minute, leaving the conversation wide open for me to mention it at any time, but when I said nothing she walked away in kind of a panic. I glanced back to see her having an 'emergency' conference with two other hygienists. They all keep glancing in my direction and one even came over and cleaned a tool to get a better look.

It took a couple of minutes, but finally, with a plan in place, they all walked back over. This is the conversation that followed:

hygienist: have you had any change in your medical history since we last meet?

me: what do you mean?

(This was too much fun, I wasn't going to let them off that easy.)

hygienist: like any new medications?

me: no

hygienist: any surgeries?

me: no

hygienist: any medical procedures?

me: no

hygienist: any new.........conditions?

me: no

hygienist: (thinking, pausing, thinking) any medical procedures or surgeries planned for........ the future?

me: nothing really..........but I am having a baby in July. Would that count?

They all let out sigh of relief. I kind of wish I'd held out for another round of questions. I would have liked to see what they come up with next, but I didn't want to be mean.

LOVE THIS!!! And I can completely understand the satisfaction you felt! When I was expecting your handsome husband I worked at an apartment complex in the office. A resident came in one day and was being a total brat. As she was raving on about something, she offhandedly looked me over and said..."so when are YOU due?" I gave her my most puzzled look and said
"Due?" "You know...when are you having that baby?" she snorted. I looked down, remained quiet for a few moments, and then, almost whispered..."I'm not pregnant." She almost fainted from embarrassment, forgot all she had to complain about and made a hasty retreat. I still relish the moment! I think Derek enjoyed it too.
