Announcement

I'll be honest, the last week I just haven't felt right. I haven't been sleeping, I have been craving sweets (I am more of a salty person) and my clothes are a little tight. Not to mention, my skin has been really itchy. And I had a feeling that my slight bouts of dizziness and upset stomach were due to something much greater than coffee for breakfast. I was kind of ignoring all of these things until it hit me yesterday...I might be pregnant. Hmm ... that would definitely explain it.

I stopped on the way home for a pregnancy test. Of course, every checkout person was a man so I tried to find something else to throw in my cart ... I picked pantyliners.

I got home, said goodbye to Claudia, checked on Ashley who was fast asleep in her afternoon nap and headed upstairs to take THE TEST.

I should mention at this point that we have not been trying to have another kid. But we have not been NOT trying either. So really its anyone's guess at this point.

I pee on the little stick and then walk away, trying not to care or worry if two minutes have passed. I read an article in MORE magazine. This magazine is for women over 40. I am not 40, but find that a lot of articles are relevant to me. This concerns me.

I head back to check on the stick...

And now for the announcement...

Turns out, I'm just fat.

(The diet and exercise regime starts today. I need to come to terms with the fact that my poor eating habits and stress-filled life are what is causing the aforementioned symptoms. I would have known this if I started reading MORE magazine a little earlier. I'm not 25 anymore, people. These are real issues.)
