Still Waiting...

As we get closer to the day of the pregnancy test, the wait becomes harder! I feel symptoms- but then don't know if I am making them up or not. I had off from school today, which provided too much time to think. I usually love snow days- but many more of these and I am liable to go CRAZY!!!

My urge to take a home pregnancy test is becoming greater with each passing moment. In fact, on my way home from work yesterday, I stopped by Weis to pick up some groceries. On the way I decided that I would buy a pregnancy test (however did not discuss this with James as I already knew he would discourage me not to). I wasn't sure that I was going to take the test. I just felt that I needed to have one so that if I decided I couldn't take anymore waiting, I had an option.

I started in the produce section and eventually made my way to the aisle where I thought pregnancy tests would be. I slowly browsed the aisle and saw a section of a shelf that was empty except for 1 lone box standing upright. Upon closer examination, I saw that the box was an ovulation predictor kit. I proceeded to read the labels on the shelf which stated what was supposed to be there, but wasn't. Sure enough- I found the shelf where the tests once were- but were no longer!!! I thought to myself, "Who runs OUT of pregnancy tests?" I decided to ask the pharmacist if they had any. I've heard of crazy people taking tests in store bathrooms (you know who you are... love ya!!!) and I figured that the store might be trying to cut down on that. After what felt like an awkward conversation for the young guy working the pharmacy counter, I soon learned that Weis runs out of pregnancy tests!

If that wasn't a major sign that last night was not the night I should be taking a test, I'm not sure what is!!! Sally told me it was my Grandma telling me, "Get the hell out of here!" and I think she's right! As a result, I exhibited tremendous self control and chose not to leave Weis and go straight to CVS (which happens to be in the same shopping center). I'm not sure what will happen the rest of the week- but I will take pride in the fact that I've been able resist temptation for 9 days!!!

Should I come across anymore exciting things to report on, I will post an update. If not, my plan is for James and I to digest whatever news we hear on Friday and let people know by Monday. As everyone knows, I sometimes have a hard time sticking to my plans... so this could also change! For now, please just keep praying for us! Your support is keeping me going more than you know!!!

Until next time...
