As I was awoken at around 3:45am in early May 2011, with a little plastic stick being shown to me, I was confused and unsure what I was being shown. It was dark, my glasses were on the side table, I probably had pillow creases on my cheek from the pillow my head had gently been resting on only seconds earlier and with the various different test, with lines, colours words and happy faces, I really had no clue what to think. But with the ear-to-ear grin that came across my wife's face, I had a good idea.
The night before the wife decided to take a test. It came back positive but was very faint and we decided that it was inconclusive. She then quickly went to the store to get another test for conformation. She came back with a two-pack. Just to make sure.
I was told that she would wait until the morning for the "morning pee". I was then given the lesson on what this meant. Boy, I have a learned a lot lately. Well, she couldn't sleep or was woken up by the urge to pee at around 3:30 and thought what better time to do this then now. When the results came in, she couldn't contain her excitement and and needed to show me RIGHT AWAY!
I was happy to share in the excitement of the moment but, although it was more clear then the last test, it still wasn't exactly definitive. NOT TO WORRY! As mentioned, the previous evening she bought a two-pack so we had another shot at total confirmation.
She did the final test at some point along the day without me knowing, then decided to meet me after my work, before her class. She presented me with a card congratulating me on becoming a father and again with the same big grin on her face she showed me a picture of the latest test which she took a picture of on her cell phone.
This was was VERY definitive. Two big solid red lines.
As I ate that meal, I thought about how much my life was about to change... for the better.
