I got the positive result on pregnancy test strip. But this was an afternoon test. I wanted to be double sure before announcing to Daddy. I had the intuition. its THE NEWS this time. I prepared a small note and kept one strip and note in a box. I will give this in the morning when the test result is positive again.
The night was too long. I woke up at 4AM.
30th OCt 2018, Tuesday.
I cant sleep. Probably its the eagerness to do the test. Oh No, its just 4AM . I should sleep some more, else my day will be ruined- no energy, sleeping entire day. Nah! I cant sleep. Every 10 mins I am looking at the time. Hubby also wakes up by my constant changing of sides. Suddenly its 5AM. It’s enough now. My urine would be concentrated. I cant control. I took the strip from the cupboard and went to the washroom. Yes! the strip is pink. but light pink. Now what does that mean? My I pregnant or not. I was confused yet confident. I came out. He thought my periods must have started and I was looking for napkins. He asked me and went to the loo without an answer. Meanwhile, I was preparing his gift box for the announcement. Then Suddenly I notice the strip showed dark pink lines. YAY!!
I decided to sleep again and give the box when he wakes up properly. We were trying to sleep again but couldnt. Around 6.30 PM
Me: When will you start work out?
Him: yea soon (says casually)
Me: Please. I have a gift for you, that might motivate you to work out.
Him: What did you get. Earphones, Fitness watch.
Me: Keep guessing. You will see and know.
So you want it now or later.
Him: What is it give me. Anyways we aint sleeping.
I hand over the box to him. He was very casual. Obviously he didnt expect it to be so big.
He read the top note: “Only one of us should have pot belly, so start working out.”
He: What does that me. So you start. Even you have some tummy showing .
