Baby Edumacation

Less than 24 hours after the positive pregnancy test, we headed to our local Borders and purchased a pregnancy book.  Not wanting to go too outside the norm, we grabbed the universally agreed upon best overall guide to pregnancy: What to Expect When You're Expecting.  We're reading it together and each have our own bookmark.  The book basically follows the timeline of the pregnancy so we're going to try and stay a few weeks ahead of the curve. There's also a chapter I've already gone through that's just for Dads to try and make me more sympathetic towards the host aka Mom...nice try ;)

Positive Pee Stick

So, there was nothing really different about checking for a positive pregnancy this time compared to all the other times (some might know that Megan is a habitual pregnancy tester).  However, both of us had a feeling this might be it.  Not wanting to get our hopes up, Megan left the stick to do it's thing in the bathroom.  I went and checked it after 10-15 minutes and noticed that there was actually a very faint hint of a line (for this particular test, a single line adjacent to the existing line means it's positive).  Being pretty familiar with pregnancy tests at this point, I innocently told Megan there was a faded line and played it off as if it were a no-go, knowing full well that even a weak hint at a line indicated the pregnancy test was positive.  She jumped up to take a look and quickly corrected me that this was a positive result.  After I reread the pregnancy instructions two more times, I eventually agreed with her.  Megan took another test the next day to confirm hence the two results in the above picture.
