Positive! Positive! POSITIVE!!!!
I took the test and it turned positive right away. I thought I was seeing things since I had just woken up and had a hard time focusing. I couldn't believe it. A miracle is occurring right now. Right now. I thanked God and then pulled myself together. I didn't want to tell your Daddy until I could do it just right tonight.
I got home from work just as Daddy was getting in the shower. Perfect, just enough time. I packed a picnic basket, wrapped his gifts —a beautiful poem, matted and framed along with a book titled How to Be a Pregnant Father and added a yellow ribbon and the positive test and hid it in the trunk. I put some sparkling grape juice on ice, grabbed the cameras and a quilt just as Daddy was getting out of the shower. I took him to get sub sandwiches and headed for the Botanical Gardens at Lake Shawnee. He had no idea where we were going. Before I let him open anything, I laid on the quilt that we had put out next to a bubbling creek amongst flowers and a view of the lake. He kissed me and I told him I loved him. When he said "I love you, too," I said, "I'm glad because we're having a baby." He kept asking me if I was serious, as if I'd go to so much trouble to play an awful joke on him. But it finally sank in and we hugged and kissed some more. After we ate, we walked around the gardens and talked. Daddy couldn't wait to tell someone, so we went Alex and Nichole's —Wow. We're having a baby!
