I didn’t SEE the results of the blood serum test when the nurse called Tuesday.  I heard her say you are pregnant.  Then not much after that.

So today, I realized I had one test strip left.  The kind that’s supposed to pick up days before you are due to start, but did not with me.  What the hell, I thought this morning, why not pee on it, and just see.

By damn, it finally registered.  And that was the moment that made it feel real.

I have 3 children, and have never been able to get a positive HPT.  Until today.  It felt good.   That little faint second line felt good.
