Hey, I'm Brian. If you're reading this you're probably friends, family, curious, or something even less. You may even be my kid, I dunno. But I'm here to talk about the biggest change in my life ever.
You see, on Today's date, Kendra (my wife of three and a half wonderful years) had her first four positive pregnancy tests.
Yeah, OK, I went a little crazy. She messaged me at work because the digital camera wasn't working. I knew that she'd only use that because she'd want to share something online ASAP. And the only thing I could think of was pregnancy test. I took off work early (I had to come in latter that night anyway) and looked at it. The line was faint, but looked like it was there.
A trip to walmart & $50 latter (in my defense, only $30 of that was tests) we had 13 more tests. A few hours & a lot of whining from Kendra that she had to pee latter, she took another cheap line test. Another pregnancy line.
So, we decided to go for something a little more expensive - the Digital Clear Blue Easy. Before I go on with this story, a word from my favorite product:
However many minutes later, I went into the bathroom. Kendra was in the hall. I looked down.
These CBE tests are the coolest fucking thing ever. All the other tests you're going "Is that a line? Is it a shadow? Is it a smudge?"
Not with this. I looked down at the little LCD panel and saw the word.
"Pregnant."
I started to scream. Kendra shouted "You've got to be kidding me!" I shouted back "NO WAY! Look for yourself!"
She kinda left her mind after that. I called both my mom & dad on the landline phone and her mom on the cellphone. I told both of them at the same time.
"Kendra has something in her uterus."
My parents where kinda spazzy & excited. Her mom was somewhat happy but not screaming like mine. Kendra tried to talk to her mom but it came out very incoherent.
I really did restrain myself that day. I don't think I told more than 50 people. 60 at the worst.
The best was telling our friends Aubrey & Kathy. They where grocery shopping in the middle of Kroger when I told them. Aubrey started screaming at people "My friend is going to have a baby!"
oh man. Yeah. It's been crazy. We need a blood test to confirm this one now.
The best & crazy part is we didn't think this could happen. I've used that line so much. "I didn't think this could happen." How many times has a guy said that? Tonnes. How often has it been a good thing? Rarely. See, Kendra's been told since she was about 16-17 that natural conception is HIGHLY unlikely. But it happened and I don't think I could be happier.
