We had been talking since Wednesday night there could be a possiblilty of me being pregnant, not in our timing, but the Lords timing as always. Matthew had sent me a few text during the day asking how I was feeling and if I wanted him to pick a test on the way home, I said yes please and that I felt great.
We proceeded to Clarksville that evening to get what we needed and head home. While at Kroger we talked about buying a test but they are in boxes that have to be unlocked, I didn't want to ask for them to unlock me a test. I told Matthew there was a DG down the road so we could head there and I would buy one for $1 and I would get a couple. They may be cheap but they still work and that is what I used when I was PG with Lola. I searched that store over from top to bottom and could not find a test anywhere. I did see Ricco in there that had just returned home from, "You know where he has been" "He has gotten big" No, I don't know Ricco, but this was the conversation I heard while in the store and the talk of many customers there, so I jetted out of the store without my $1 test.
With failing to find my $1 test at the DG, Walgreens was across the street so we went there. Well, the cheapest 2 pack was $14.99. CRAZY!!! I could not pay that much for a test that I knew I could get across the street for $1. So I left there as well without a test.
As we were heading back in the direction of home Matthew ask if I wanted to go to Target, who passes up a trip to Target, even if the primary reason is to buy a pregnancy test. So in we pulled.
Target is not very busy on a Thursday night at 7:15, just for the record. I walked directly to the area where the test are sold, along with the condoms, fertility test, and anything else you need in that area. Two, I repeat 2 sales clerks were standing on the aisle fixing the products and they both turned to ask if I needed any help. I always find it a little embarrassing to be standing in the aisle with condoms and pregnancy test. I know I am married and I have every right to have sex with my husband have children as I wish, but still, a little embarrassing to be on the aisle, it is like people are looking at you thinking, "They are going to get down tonight!!! Or They have been getting busy with it and now they have to test the fruits of their labors!" So, yes I did buy a test there and it was $6.06 for a 2 pack, not bad but not as cheap as $1 a test.
We came home after a quick run through of Chick-fil-A for dinner, gave Lola a quick ride on her new toy Matthew's hair dresser gave her. She loved it and it was cute. Upon walking in the house with Matthew and Lola, I took the test and there it was "+". A + that we were getting and addition to our family of 3. A + that we had done a job well and were getting rewarded. Or however you want to look at the +, but I like to think in positive terms.
So after looking at Kroger and not wanting to get a test unlocked, DG and learning of Ricco, his where about for I don't know how long, searching the store high and low, and turning up ending handed, Walgreens being sky high, Target having over zealous clerks, we came home to find out we were getting a + to the Davenport family.
