The Test

We started trying to have a baby in January.

Around January 8th, I noticed something odd- my pee smelled funny, like butter. Not a bad smell. Not asparagus. But definitely different.

We agreed we weren't going to check until February, but I knew. We still went to dinner, still went to parties, still had a cocktail here or there, but I knew.

By the 18th, I knew my period should be rearing its ugly head and also knew with certainty that it wasn't coming. So I went to the store and I bought the test, and a few days later I woke up and took that test.

I woke Bob up and said "Guess what?"

"What?" He mumbled sleepily

"We're gonna have a little Halloween Baby"

"Oh yea. Says who?"

"Says me"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I know"

"Oh yea? How.."

"Because I KNOW!"


I'm sure at some point, I'll start writing this blog to baby, instead of just musing into the ether.Right now this baby is a twinkle in my eyes, a hidden smile, a secret, but not all together real just yet :)
