Pregnancy Tests

You know how if you've taken one pregnancy test, you've taken them all? Well, I know this is the case. They all have the same instructions, every single time. So tell me why I take those things when I'm about ready to burst or pee my pants yet think, "what if the directions are different?" I don't know what I'm expecting it to say...pee on the stick, spin around in a circle three times, make a wish and click your heels and hum "Rock-A-Bye Baby" until the three minutes are up?

It's ridiculous, really, so I spend another minute or two reading through all the instructions YET AGAIN while doing the "I have to pee" dance, moving from foot to foot. After reading everything, finally, FINALLY I can "go" and take the test. And just in case you're curious, no baby for us at the moment.

How was your weekend? I'm catching up on blog commenting tonight. I promise.

No, not trying, just not...preventing either. LOL We are ok whether it happens or not at the moment, sort of a no pressure sort of thing.

My husband and I did the not trying not preventing method too. When I didn't get pregnant after about 5 months we decided to call it quits. I got birth control and we started using condoms. Lo and behold, my period never came. When we finally decided to stop "trying" was when I found out I was pregnant. And now she is about to turn 2... :)

I have to admit that when my fiance and I were trying to conceive our son I took pregnancy tests three or four times a week...I wanted so badly to have a baby that I just let it consume me. And it seemed that no matter how many I took I always thought I was doing it wrong...I read and re-read the directions a hundred times...I was a crazy woman!
