Testing 1-2-3

A few thoughts about pregnancy tests...

Don't even bother buying the ones that have lines or crosses that are supposed to indicate whether or not you are pregnant. In my very brief experience, the lines always seem to be faint enough to make you wonder whether it means the test is positive or negative. I don't care if they're cheaper, skip them. Go straight to the digital ones that say the result in words. "You're pregnant" is pretty hard to misinterpret, and you don't find yourself holding the dip stick in 50 different directions to see what the line looks like in different lighting. Just my two cents worth.

I have now taken 3 pregnancy tests today because neither Casey nor I could be certain that there actually was a line on the first two. It seemed like there might be a faint line, but neither of us could really tell. And we have a lot of years of education between us. Fortunately, I am cheap and decided to buy the box of pregnancy tests at the store that had the two "regular" tests plus one "free" digital test that told you the results in words (who can pass up 3 tests for the price of 2???). This digital test was a last resort for me, but it has confirmed that we are, in fact, pregnant!!!

It is going to be total agony not being able to tell my parents this news. They arrive in two days for the Bears-Panthers game. I wonder how I will fake my way through drinking at the tailgate?!?!
