Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3......

My wife would win an Olympic event in preparedness for pregnancy. She is amazing and well informed. I actually think she has the testing kit boxes memorized for the ovulation kits and the pregnancy test kits. She has had lots of practice.

She has decided to take another pregnancy test. Having this knowledge in advance I was able to avoid an eye injury. I have become very good at leaning back and away from her outstretched arm, just as it is heading in my direction.

So, I go in the bathroom after her. Yep, it is really pink. Still faint, but pink. I am sure of it, even though it is like 5:30 in the morning. I even compare it to the test stick from the day before. It looks really close, but maybe today is a bit pinker?

If there is a test to find out how much pinker the second test is from the first test... My wife will find it, read about it and have it mastered in no time. By then, I won't be a bit surprised if she walks around, tapping on a pretend microphone saying "testing, testing, 1, 2, 3," when I see her headed off to the bathroom.
