"You're what?"
Saturday Oct. 21 I got out of bed and showered as usual. Then, later on as I was eating my breakfast, my wife comes around the corner and ecstatically says:
“I’m pregnant.”
Me: “You’re what?”
Her: “I’m pregnant”
Me: “Are you sure?” (Smiling)
Her: “Yeah. I just took a test.”
Me: “What did it say?”
Her: “It said I’m pregnant.”
Me: “How do you know that’s what it said?”
Her: “Because I looked at it. Two strips if you’re pregnant. One if you aren’t. It had two strips.”
Me: “Where’s this test at?”
She left the test on the counter so it would have time to do the whole chemical reaction thing. So, I go in there to look at it. There’s one strip for sure, but the other one is barely visible. I read the box: “…second strip may be fainter than the first.” The thing is they don’t tell you how faint it may be. A picture would have been useful to use as a reference, but why would they do that. They want you to continue buying more tests (not cheap) until you are satisfied. So…we did. Only we got one that was a little more black and white. This one started out with the word ‘pregnant’ on it. If you are NOT pregnant, the word NOT appears. Lynnell instructs me that she has to wait until tomorrow morning to take it that way there is fresh test fluid (pee). At this point I thought to myself ‘this sucks’ because I had to leave for Maine the next day, and I would be there for two weeks.
We got up at 4:00 a.m. (my flight leaves at 6:00 a.m.). Lynnell comes out of the bathroom and says:
“I’m pregnant”
Me: “Are you sure?”
Her: “Yeah. I just took the test, and NOT did NOT appear. I’m pregnant.” (Huge grin)
Me: “Where’s the test? I want to see...“ (I go look at the test) “Where’s the NOT?” (Smiling and secretly thinking ‘she’s pregnant’)
Her: “There isn’t one. I’m pregnant.” (Bigger grin)
Me: “I guess so.”
We had a nice we-are-finally-pregnant moment then I hopped in the shower to get ready to head to Maine for two weeks. Pretty anticlimactic, but the rest of my day (and the following two weeks) gave me plenty of time to let it sink in.
