So.. I have to admit it was a totally random act for me to go home for lunch that Tuesday and take a pregnancy test. I had absolutely no symptoms and I honestly think that the only reason I took the pregnancy test was because I had an extra one in the medicine cabinet and wanted to throw away the box.
Anyone who knows me knows that I take a pregnancy test about once every 2-3 weeks, so peeing on the stick was not a nerve-wracking, heart-pounding, scary/exciting moment for me. I literally peed on the stick, stared at it, waiting for the result to be negative so I could again laugh at myself for even thinking I was pregnant and throw it away. Well.. today that was not the case… Oh wait, wait wait, I’m telling the story wrong. I need to correct myself. My theory on why I took the test was totally inaccurate. I didn’t really think I was actually pregnant, but I bought a new test that day, at the Rite-Aid near my house, during my lunch break. Weird. I am only 13 weeks pregnant and I already have the “pregnancy stupids” (thank you Jenny McCarthy for that excellent term).
Ok- we’ll start over. During my lunch break I went to Rite-Aid, bought the pregnancy test and the clerk looked at me and said, “man, must be something in the water, you have no idea how many of these I’ve sold today.” This took me off-guard because, in general, a drug store clerk probably shouldn’t make a comment while you are buying and personal item, i.e., pregnancy tests, condoms, tampons, etc. I just shrugged and quickly walked out of the store. I was now pretty eager to get home and take the test, then return to work like normal….
