Today I went to the OBGYN for a regular check up– my first one since giving birth to Sophie.

Receptionist (reviewing my forms): “Oh. We have you in the system as Emily. Did you change your name?”

Me: “What? No. Why?”

Receptionist: “Under patient name you wrote ‘Sophie.'”

Me: “Oh my god, I did? Sorry. That’s my daughter’s name. I’m always going to doctors for my kids and can’t remember the last time I had a check up for myself, I must have been on autopilot.”

Receptionist (smiles politely): “I see. So you’re still Emily?”

Me: “Yes, sorry.”

(awkward silence as she fixes my form)

Me: “You guys must see this all the time.”

Receptionist: “Never once!”
