The Appearance

My husband and I decided to break the news to our 2 year old daughter as soon as we found out.

"Guess what? You're going to have a baby sister or brother!" Ellie looked around the room hoping to see a little baby boy or girl gurgling drool on the floor. Disappointed, she glazed her eyes over to us. She looked terribly confused. To ease her mind, we quickly asked her another question, "Would you like to have a baby brother or sister?"

Her response, "Yeah!"

The pink line had made its appearance on the pregnancy test this morning. Although I took one last night which resulted with a very faint pink line, I knew I really really really wanted to see pink so the faint pink line could have very well been a figment of my imagination...like a mirage in the middle of the desert. I was thirsty...so another test was due this morning.

My thirst is quenched.
