poor baby

I'm pregnant and in a foreign country.

I tried to tell him (baby daddy) this would happen.  That I would get pregnant right away and I'd spend the whole trip pregnant, and he'd spend the whole trip trying to make me wake up early and run places.  Things not conducive to one another.  But noooooooo, he wouldn't listen.  Throw caution - and birth control - to the wind! 

I'm ready to go home and see my doctor.  I want to hear the heartbeat.  I want to make sure that everything's ok.  I keep worrying about every little thing.  Today I was actually worried because I don't have morning sickness. 

The thing I should be worried about the most?  That everything is absolutely 100% ok and me, the 39 year old who got pregnant on purpose even though she has a teenager getting ready to start high school, is actually bringing an innocent little baby into this family. 

Because that is the scariest thing of all.

Take that, Clearblue Easy!

Seeing is believing.

I told the Pastor I was pregnant and he was in a state of shock and disbelief.

Why had I taken the test without him?  He wanted in on the fun.  Besides, he asked, are you really sure?

Well, yes.  There was the test.  And the sore boobs.  The definite opinions about eating.  The hormones.  Missing my, uh, something that's kind of a big indicator of pregnancy.  Walking all over England, Wales and Scotland - and usually being forced to run to catch a train - and not losing a single pound. 

Since it had been more than a week, the results on the test I had taken had faded.  "Can you take another one?"   Sure.  Why not?  They came in a multi-pack.  What else am I going to do with them?  Besides, taking a pregnancy test is just fun, at least I think so. 

I took another test. I didn't even have to wait the two minutes for results.  The plus sign showed up right away. That's how many pregnancy hormones I have.  Beware.
