Oh, Honey, you shouldn't have!!!

In a fit of romantic fervor, my husband, Will, brought home a gift for me last Thursday after the embryo transfer.

I was overcome by his gesture of love. In fact, tears welled up in my eyes, because in his choosing of this gift, it was clear that my husband is one of the most considerate people I know. It was also clear that he truly knows me, inside and out.

You might be thinking Will brought me a bouquet of peonies, one of my favorite flowers... or that he brought home a bottle of my favorite Shiraz for one last toast. Or maybe you're guessing he brought me sweet strawberries dipped in Godiva chocolate.

You might be thinking any of these things, but you'd be wrong.

Will brought me a gift more attractive than any of these. He stood there, just inside the doorway, his arms outstretched. And when I saw what he held, I couldn't believe my eyes.



Twenty-five urine pregnancy tests.

That's right, twenty-five. That's enough for me to pee on until my little heart is content.

What a guy! (Although it also struck me that this gift is a little bit like buying a pyromaniac a jumbo box of matches. Still, thank you, Will!)

  2. Love it!!! I wish I had that many right now - I started off with 4 and burned one to see if the trigger was out.

    I have no shame - I have spent hundreds on them and I will probably buy 20 or more to get me through the weekend.

    I am going to start on Thursday - when will you start?

  3. That's awesome! I love it.

    I take it you'll be testing... yeah! I'm so hopeful for you this time. I can't wait to see a BFP. Big time crossing fingers for you.

    Loved the warm weather too. Your Sundays of grace are awesome. Makes me think a lot.

  7. I think that is soooo sweet. How cute is he. You should be having lots of fun over there :o)

    I really wanted to NOT take any of those things but I admit I broke down and did it anyway. lol The first one I knew was way too early, then I refussed to take another one until my first blood test results came it. When they did I took it and we cried together. It was awesome.

    Good luck. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you that good news is coming soon :)

    BABY DUST!!!!!!!
