EPT

October 12th, 2006

I took a pregnancy test today. I know, I know…crazy. Crazy on so many levels that I would like to spell them out for you (1) not trying to get pregnant (2) I have implanted in my uterus an IUD with a 99.9% effectiveness rate (3) I’m pretty sure baby number four would put us in the poor house as well as put me into a very tight straight jacket.

You see, I took it not because I really thought I was pregnant but because I wanted to rule it out. I’ve been having headaches for the past few weeks and just started to realize that they aren’t really going away. A normal person would first think of colds, allergies or maybe even stress to be the cause of these headaches. Me, no, I like to think BIG. Big like pregnant hormones pulsing through my veins.

This BIG thinking of mine brought me all the way to the store to purchase the test. As I peed on the stick in the Lifetime Fitness locker room and watched the urine seep into the window that will await my fait, I found myself feeling slightly excited. And once the time was up and there was only one pink line, instead of two, I felt the tiniest twinge of disappointment.
