The Day Life Changed as I Knew It

I wouldn't even say the test line was faint.  I kept moving the test around like some kind of hologram and sometimes I could see a slight line or my brain made one up.

Peeing on sticks and in cups was kind of fun and addicting in some strange way so I decided to try it again the following morning on another Dollar Tree cheapie.  Faint, faint, fainty-faint line.  Hmmmm.  Huzb told me, "Those cheap tests are a crap shoot. You might as well just ask a magic 8 ball." 

I had a feeling.  I just knew. 

That afternoon I bought a Clearblue Easy Digital pregnancy test.  The one that says "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant".  Instantly, the pee stick told me...

I was in such shock I couldn't even come up with a cool, creative way to tell Huzb.  I just put the stick behind my back and told him to close his eyes and open his hands.  I told him I had a present for him but didn't have a chance to wrap it.

As he closed his eyes and held his hands open, I placed the little magic stick into his hands.  When he opened his eyes, he looked down then looked at me.  Tears started welling up into his eyes and he said, "Is this real?"

I nodded my head "yes" and said, "Congratulations, you're going to be a daddy."
