I am officially the biggest blond you have ever met.
You all remember the 30 minute wait I put you (and me) through this afternoon?
Yeah, completely unnecessary.
I bought a 3 pack of FRER tests, and there was a free fertility test included in the package (and really – can we discuss the irony here? I am pretty positive that I really have no use for a fertility test – unless it comes back with some kind of witty digital response like “you are totally screwed”. That I could at least laugh at.) When I went to read the instructions after I peed, I grabbed the instructions for the fertility test (which looked exactly like the instructions for a pregnancy test). I didn't even think twice. I just read what was in front of me and believed.
I thought 30 minutes was a little weird, but I just assumed it was because this test was special and advanced. I didn’t even think anything of it. I really just thought that’s how it worked.
I took it as a sign that this test could tell me something that other tests couldn't.
Which is where we return to the part about me being a blond.
When I started getting comments questioning the 30 minute wait, I dug the instructions out of the trash can (yes, yes I did) planning on taking a picture of them to post here so that you could all know I wasn’t crazy or making it up.
Turns out, I’m crazy and I was making it up.
One thing I wasn’t making up was that very very very faint blue line I saw this morning. That faint line that I really think is the first indication of baby.
Like I said, tomorrow is another day, and I will use the FRER with my first morning urine. Then, I’ll only wait for 3 minutes to check it out rather than 30. Just for kicks.
I swear, some day this will all be funny; the lengths mommy went to just to find out the little one was coming.
But right now? Today? In this moment?
I just feel like a total nut job.
