Are You Sure? {Positive.}

Kingston on my left hip and my Kate Spade wristlet in my right hand I scuffle into the nearest QFC in the middle of the afternoon. I track down their unecessary locked display of condoms and pregnancy tests in the back corner. Now, most people get embarrased by this stuff. Nope, not me. I thrive on it. I spy a group of girls behind the Pharmacy counter and quickly shout out a *Yoohoo* and say I need a pregnancy test and I need a good one! Don't get me wrong. I already have my mind made up on the best pregnancy test out there {ClearBlue Digital, but who's asking?}, but to my dismay QFC didn't carry ClearBlue Digital and I'm on a time schedule. So the innocent, sweet, asian pharmacist walks me over to the unecessary locked display of pregnancy tests and is giving me the rundown of tests, which I'm barely listening to anyways cause I'm still appalled they don't have ClearBlue Digital, but do catch enough to realize that she's trying to sell me on the "Kroeger" brand and asking if I've missed my period yet. *THINKING* Here's my chance to spill my life story to a complete stranger...ready...go! I indulge my innocent, sweet, asian pharmacist and tell her exactly what I'm about: Listen, my last period was June 23, I'm due Tuesday the 21st, I'm 5 days out and need to know NOW...give me the test to do that, thank you and goodbye. "Kroeger" went swiftly back into the cabinent and I was handed that pretty pink box of First Response. She sent me down the produce aisle with a farewell and a "Good Luck!"

So I bustle to the check out counter and barely make it out alive amongst the millions of Eastsiders who decided to do their grocery shopping on that lovely Thursday afternoon. All I wanted to do was pay for my pregnancy test so I could go home and pee. Okay...and Kingston just got out of World's Worse Swim Class and was grumpy and hungry. I make it through the line...pass on getting a bag...run back to the Tahoe with Kingston still on my left hip, my Kate Spade wristlet on my right arm and my future waving in my right hand.

And this is why I stand by ClearBlue Digital for life: I pee'd on the stick, set it on the counter and watched it like a bird preying on a sea of fish. One dark pink line...and wait for it...wait for it...1/2 a line? What? What does that mean? It's so pale I had a put rewetting drops into my eyes to refresh my contacts I thought I couldn't see. Nope. Still 1/2 a line. I consulted everyone I knew...mainly Google. There was so firm evidence that it meant pregnant or even not pregnant. So I dwell on my 1/2 line for the rest of the afternoon. *THINKING* Well, I'm still 5 days out...It's still really early...AND I used mid-afternoon pee and not first thing in the morning pee. I concluded, I would try again the next morning.

Chalk it up to impatience. We ran to the nearest Walgreens that evening and picked up my pride and joy: ClearBlue Digital. George is putting Kingston down for bed and I decide I'll just pee then. It's probably the worse pee to use too cause of all the water and everything else I have drank that day. But as I saw the hourglass blink before my eyes it didn't even take 30 seconds before "Pregnant" popped up on the screen. I FLEEEEWWW out of the bathroom, overjoyed, startled my half asleep baby boy and screamed, "We're gonna have a baby!"

There are already people who are shocked I would even announce something so early, but this is how I see it. We are so excited and it's such a wonderful thing! God's Will is not affected by my blog or by facebook or by anything else. God has a plan for my baby and I can't wait to see what it is! And no matter what happens I'll be {write} here sharing it all with you!
