Does that say YES?

Monday January 19, 2009...a day we looked forward to with fear and excitement. (Mostly excitement!) That was PT day! Yep, time to take a pregnancy test. A few months prior to that date, we had made the biggest decision of our lives--to start our family! Getting married was no big deal, other than the fact that it was the happiest day of my life. I already knew I loved Chris and wanted to spend the rest of my life with him, so that was a day I looked forward to without fear. But a family??? Now that's bound to change our lives! It's another adventure we're looking forward to sharing with each other.

So without going into too much detail, I read the directions on the box, took the test, and waited the longest three minutes of our lives to see whether a YES+ or a NO- would appear in the little window. I was pretty sure what the answer was going to be, but I still needed to see it. Finally the little timer signal stopped flashing and a word appeared. I blinked and rubbed my eyes, and all I could say was.....

"DOES THAT SAY YES?!?!"

Indeed it did. And I checked it every day when I got home from work to see if the answer was still the same. Wow, that news does NOT sink in easily!

Here's the proof......This is actually the second test I took. We snapped a picture of the first one but didn't try very hard to get a good one, but when we decided that we wanted to make a video to announce the updated web site, I took the other one. (Two tests came in the box, and I didn't know what to do with the second one after the first one came back positive. It would have gone bad eventually, so I figured I'd take the second one, just to be sure, and we'd use that one to get better pictures.)
