The NEWS

Stopped at CVS after open house tonight. Feeling pretty sexy as I walked in wearing my heels and dress, I must say! Decided that I still didn't have my period and that the OB would need a positive pregnancy test anyways. Took the test when I got home and holy shit it was positive. Here's the thing though. Box says to pee on the stick (which is really gross). Now, with the frequent battery of tests that I have I'm used to peeing in a cup. Okay, peeing on a stick isn't the same thing. There is definitely more aim involved (hit the stick, not your hand, while making sure you hold it in the correct direction). I'm only tentatively thinking it is positive though because after my initial misses in hitting the stick I'm worried I peed on it for more than 5 seconds. Does that matter? Those are the directions on the box. What I do know is that the test took about 3 seconds to change. What an amazing thing to see those two little pink lines appear. Really hope that I didn't mess up the test. I used to think "how dumb can you be" when people talked about not taking the test correctly. Now I get it. Must hide this test from Daddy-to-be (hopefully!) and take another one in the AM.
