My Wife, The Instigator

So... last night my wife and I were sitting watching the game (well, she was watching the game and I was going back and forth between watching the game and paying bills), when she turns to me and says "let's test!" I laughed because I thought she was joking (she's very anti-testing, always wanting to wait for the beta), but then said "are you serious?" When she showed me the mischievous gleam in her eyes, I knew she was going to say yes before the word even got out of her mouth.

After some discussion of the fact that even if I am pregnant, there's only a 35% chance that a 10dpo test would be positive, we pulled out a Dollar Tree test. Drop, drop, drop, drop in the well and timer set for 8 minutes and my wife went back to the game and I went into the kitchen to cut myself an apple.

When the timer went off, Sylvia came and got me and led me by the hand to the bathroom. Just outside the door she stopped and peeked in as if she were sneaking up on the test (though I know her trepidation was genuine, it was still so cute to see). From the doorway she could see the single line, but we still went in and held the test up to the light, turning it back and forth just in case one of us caught a glimmer of a second line. We didn't.

We both had a good little chuckle and declared our mischief "fun."

Thank goodness we only have one more day to wait until our beta!
