"This is how you're telling me?"

June 2, 2009

I couldn't sleep the night before I found out I was pregnant because I had thought I was getting sick...oh, and I had horrible lower back cramps. The cramping continued into the late morning. Well, at this time, I was on a business trip with Max in Springfield, and we stayed at the Marriott which has a Walmart right across the street. I decided to walk over there to see if I can find a pair of shorts, because I was wearing jeans, and it was 90 degrees out that day. I walked aimlessly around the store, found a pair of shorts, tried them on, and put them back. After that I walked around a bit...I was bored. I came to the family planning section and thought to myself, "what the hell."

I selected the Clearblue Easy Pregnancy Test, and let me hence the EASY part, because I just needed a 'yes' or 'no' answer. I don't like fighting with lines!

I walked back to the hotel nervously, peed on the stick, waited three minutes, looked, and said, "Holy S***!"

I called Max and told him. He replied by saying, "this is how you're telling me...over the phone?"
