I'm Flipping Out

So, like all of you, I have that wonderful modern invention, a smart phone. And a miraculous little app that helps me track my main monthly event. Not really trying to track fertility, mind you (no matter what Hubby thinks). Anyways, I'm thinking "Oh bummer, Valentine's Day is going to be a real let down this year cause look which uninvited relative is coming to town one day prior to the big romantic event. Well, our big day came and went and no visitor. So, at late day three I'm getting a little weird-ed out because I have this modern marvel that has never been wrong. I went speedy quick down to my local grocery store and purchased the cheapest test on the market, because honestly I've been on this roller coaster ride before and I'm thinking I can do with the discounted ticket this time around. A real quick negative on my stick will tell my body to relax and go with the flow, literally.

There were two sticks in this pack and on Thursday Morning I utilized stick one. I watch in anticipation as the lines start appearing one after another and at first I'm like, "yep that's what I thought". But wait.........is that a vertical line AND a horizontal line? Holy flip, I think I see a Plus. Oh wait, maybe I just want to see a plus....

So I decide the test is inconclusive, but suspicious enough to warrant an "official" test. So I excitedly make an appointment with my GP.

Yep, and guess what?

"I'm sorry to have to tell you but the test is negative. It might be too early to tell, wait a week and then come see us again."

Okay, well that was exciting for about four hours, but now we can all go back to our regularly scheduled program, right?

Okay so that was Day 5 of missed period and Morning of Day 6 comes around and I have never ever been this late and I'm feeling just a bit "off". Sure, maybe I'm wanting to feel "off" but there is that ambiguous "+" staring me in the face and I figure maybe yesterday was too soon to say but today will be different. So I get out stick #2. And I'll be jiggered if that dang stick doesn't say exactly the same thing as stick #1. So I do what any other neurotic girl with an awesome best friend would do, I bring my sticks to my bestie, Akaemi's house and ask her to look at them.

"So, I'm not the only one, they are totally ambiguous, right?" My supportive and understanding bestie says, "Yes, sweetie, now go home and WAIT. No more sticks for at least three days." Good advice. Great advice.

So that night I bought a package of THREE digital sticks. But only just to keep around. I'm not going to use them or anything.

Okay, so I have a problem....admitting it is the first step right.

Fast forward to the next morning and I'm frantically trying to open the package and get myself another stick. I'm like an addict and I'm jonesing bad.

And the blasted stick malfunctions....no reading at all. Nada.

I emphatically decide that I'm not going to use another stick today, and it's just not in the cards to get a definitive answer and that's okay. I busy myself with other chores. Two hours later I'm in the bathroom with another stick in my hand. I'm weak. DON'T Judge Me!!!!

I've got my answer. It's Clear and Concise. On the LCD Screen in big bold letters: PREGNANT

So I immediately fall to my knees and offer up a sincere heartfelt and tearful prayer. "Wow, Your really going to entrust another precious soul into my care?" Somebody up there really loves me...or at least has an outrageous sense of humor.

We'll see.
