First Test!

I'd planned in the previous weeks to take my first pregnancy test today. It would be plenty late enough that detection shouldn't be an issue. I knew Scott would be out of town for a work trip, so I would be able to surprise him if things turned out positive (which, I highly doubt, but still...)

Well, as planned I bought a pregnancy test at the grocery store last night (I felt so redneck... a pregnancy test and some chicken... that's what I bought). I'd decided to wait until the morning to test since that's when the hormones are most concentrated, even though you only *need* to test in the morning if you're testing early. I still didn't think I was pregnant, but figured I'd check and at least give myself an answer.

SO I got up this morning, peed on the little stick, set my phone timer for 3 mins, and covered the test with paper so I couldn't stare at it. Alarm goes off, and I slowly slid the paper off... first to see the line that says the test worked properly... and then...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't believe it. So... based on calculations:


The week-by-week descriptions say this is all happening right now:


It's right... I've got zero symptoms so far, which I guess is why I still am in disbelief. I guess the next few weeks will really confirm things! Really nervous and hoping it "sticks"... I think that's one of my biggest fears. Just so much unknown at this time! I can't wait to tell Scott when he gets home from his work trip tonight. eeeeek! :D
