Let's Roll With It

Tuesday morning at precisely 6am, i woke up from a very odd dream. I dreamed that I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. As I looked down at the stick in shock, i looked up to see my entire family, including my grandparents, staring at me. I woke up immediately and went to the loo. I had bought a pregnancy test the night before because at this point I was 4 days late. This was not something new. For the past 7 months my "cycle" has been all over the place, one month i missed it completely. I basically just bought it to ease my mind. I was certain that it would come back negative and I would know that it would come eventually. My eyes were half open and I still felt completely asleep. I decided to whip out the test since it says you should use the first urine of the day. Great time to get it over with then I could go back to sleep.

I did my business with the stick and was about to set it down. For those who have never taken this test before, there is a first line that shows up as proof that the test is working. According to the instructions, you need to wait 3-5 minutes for the results. In the past few months I had taken this test a few times since I had never been late and i had no idea why i would miss a period. Each time it was negative. You see the first line, you wait, and a second line never appears. This time, I had barely let it go on the counter and there was two very bright lines. I felt like i was in a dream. It was so early in the morning, I just woke up from the most bizarre dream and i didn't know if i was going to faint of throw up.

Case was in the dining room having his usual pre-work routine which I usually sleep through. I came out of the bathroom holding this stick calling out "BABE? CASE? BABE?". He said "I'm in here. Why are you awake?". I was holding this stick in my hand and I just stared at him, probably looking like a deer in headlights. He said "What is that. What..What...Whaaaaaaaaaat???". I think i showed it to him but i'm not actually sure what happened at that moment. I sat down and was shaking a bit. He said he was very happy and that we should look into buying a good camera. Oh how I love this man.

Case left to go to work and I sat there in silence for a bit. I took a shower and got ready for work. Since it was so early I had lots of time so I decided I needed to stop at my parents house. I walked in and they looked confused since I never come by on a Tuesday before work. I didn't say a word but they knew something was up. My mom looked at me and said "What...What is going on... You're pregnant." I didn't say yes but i also didn't say no. I'm pretty sure they had a small-medium heart attack. We had a long discussion about everything and off I went to work. Obviously that whole day was very odd and I just wanted to get home and double check that test. When i got home the two lines were still there. Dang. I took another test the next morning just in case and it was even faster and darker than the morning before. I guess that's that! I called my GP and made an appointment for next week. I guess it's time to roll!
