Proof Positive
Our first official month of trying to have a baby and now it’s time to see how we did.
Recap: Yesterday, September 16. Three days to go before my period is officially late but the suspense is absolutely killing me. Last night we stopped at Target to pick up some tests in anticipation of the “big reveal”. I knew going in that for most couples it takes three to six months to conceive — but knowing we are trying makes the wait even harder.
So, the alarm sounds at 5:51AM and I rush to the bathroom to take the test. The instructions say to wait up to 10 minutes before reading the results so I decide to hope in the shower and begin getting ready for work!
Here comes the craziest part of my morning…I forgot to check the test when I got out of the shower. I FORGOT TO CHECK THE TEST WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE SHOWER! What? I find myself about an hour and half later at work, sitting at my desk when that oversight dawns on me. How could I have forgotten to look? All day I wonder what the test will say. However, I also know that you are not supposed to read the results after 1 hour has elapsed. So, regardless a second test is going to be in order.
Near the end of the day I rush home and find my test laying on the counter in the bathroom — right where I had left it. But wait, it has not one but two lines.
Confirmed x 3
TWO LINES! Could it be? Am I really pregnant? After only one month of trying? Really?!?!?
I hastily perch myself on the toilet, test in hand for a second look. A few minutes pass and once again I see one really solid test line and one very faint prego line. OMG — I really am pregnant.
That night I went back to the drug store for more test preparing for the next morning. I need to know for sure, this is happening.
Today: Saturday, September 17, 7:04 AM — Honey, we’re pregnant! Three more tests have officially confirmed! I am elated and terrified all at the same time. Wow! What an awesome journey we are starting!
