Waiting

Time is a bit of a stand still for Kent and I as we have a day and half until we take a pregnancy test. Only today has this seriously felt like the longest two weeks. Work drags on and on, the days are so dark and dreary. Kent and I have little patience and he has asked me repeatedly why we can't test early. He then references TV commercials and the First Response tests that allow testing 5 days earlier. My first thought is no, the Dr. told me to wait 14 days from IUI. My second thought is that my husband is watching way too much TV. He shouldn't know ads for lady business products.

It's tough when you want to know a secret or if there is a big surprise waiting for you. Sort of like Christmas when you were a kid. I was a mischevious child and use to slit the tape on all of the Christmas gifts under the tree and unwrap them while my parents were at work. It was a bummer Christmas morning, but it was like those wrapped beauties were just calling me while I was watching reruns of the Brady Bunch and eating saltines with butter. Wednesday may not be a gift if we get a negative, but I do know that someday, when I unwrap that stick, I will get exactly what I want.
