My wife took the preganancy test this morning. I'm fairly certain we are pregnant, as all the symptoms seem to be developing. The heightened sense of taste and smell, the cravings seem to be starting, along with the lower back pain, the veins indicating increased blood flow etc.
Yes all the symptoms of pregnancy have started. I'm sure they shouldn't all start yet, but then at the same time, I'm not really sure exactly when I thought they should start?
So anyway, the test has been done, the stick, ahem, wetted, and we wait for the lines to appear. I'm feeling excited but trying not to be too excited in case we're not. I'm not very patient at the best of times, I'm cynical too, so relying on a stick for evidence is a bit like looking for water through divination to me.
Two lines! my wife exclaims as she shows the stick to me. That's not two lines I say (using all my worldly wisdom and experience of these things... which is none)
It is two lines my wife says, in her you-are-stupid-but-it's-ok-'cause-you're-a-man voice. Ok, I conceed I can see two lines, but the second line is much fainter than the first line. In fact I think that counts as one and a half lines.
It's not that I don't want it to be two lines, please don't misunderstand me. It's just that, well, I'm a man. I need more proof. We men can't just rely on intuition and 'feelings' that could quite easily be indigestion, not my sixth sense. Logic is what is called for. I need one of those digital pregnancy tests. One of those sticks which says either 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant'.
