OTD

"Hi Honey"
"Guess what?"
"What?"
"You're gonna be a grandma"
loud thump.  silence.

"Hello?............Mommy?........Are you there?............Mother??.......Hello????"

Either she fainted, or accidentally dropped the phone.......then fainted.  Hmm!

Too much too soon?
Ok.  Ok.  I'll back up a bit.

If you recall a few days ago.....ate delicious whole fish....lip swole....heightened sense of smell......rushed to hospital to examine lip....everybody walks into examination room with a creepy stare and smile.  Over a swollen lip????!?
Nope!
Nurse asked me to pee on a stick.  "What? Why? It's too soon.  My OTD (official test day) isn't until Wednesday.  Will my body produce enough hormones to detect anything this soon?  I'm scared.  I don't want to get my hopes up.  Can we wait?"
"JUST PEE ON THE STICK DAMMIT!"

minutes later

"It's faint but I see a line...."
"a faint line? what does that mean?"

can you spot the faint pink line right above 'T'?

"You're producing low levels of hCG.  I'm pretty sure by Wednesday your blood test will confirm you are very pregnant as you'll produce more."

Indeed it did.
By Wednesday morning, my breasts were incredibly sore and huge.  I was on my 2nd ice cream sandwich at 9am (a very weird craving for ice cream lately).  I had many sudden urges to relieve my bladder.  Hair...lots of it.....body hair....I hate body hair.  I'm having to shave yet again.  ....and a nap, I now need naps, I'm constantly exhausted.....very, very exhausted!

"Mommmmmmm WAKE UP.  You're going to be a grandmother!!!!!!!"
"oh my God.  oh my God.  OH MY GODDD!  We have to go shopping!!!!!!"

Yes.  Shopping.
If there was ever a doubt that we were related....here's your proof!  Ha!
