How Not to Tell Your Husband You're Pregnant...
One random Saturday morning I woke up around 6:30 in the morning and had to go to the little girls room. Tim was sound asleep. [Back up a few days/weeks prior... I had come across a pregnancy test in our bathroom that I think I received as a gag-shower-gift three years ago. I thought for sure it was expired.] This random Saturday morning I decided to open it. While I was opening it I discovered that it was not expired but it was opened so I thought, "what the heck! let's try this thing!" Still don't know why I thought that. Never talked to Tim about it. Never asked if he'd want to be there when we actually took a pregnancy test. So I took it and went on about my business. I was getting ready to get back into bed, where Tim was sound asleep, when I thought I should see what it said.
It said +
I freaked out because I didn't have the key to figure out what + meant. I know, I know. So I googled it. Google told me I was pregnant. I freaked out. I had no reason whatsoever to even take this test. It was waaaayyy to early to even think about maybe possibly taking a test. But I did in all my 6:30 morning glory of a mind. Then I went back to bed, where Tim was sound asleep. I tried to fall asleep for 3 seconds. I spent 1 minute staring at the ceiling. Then I started to ask Tim if he was awake. I think I might have gently kicked him as well. You never want to wake a sleeping Burkey. [I think we all learned that at one time or another at Cornerstone.] When I asked him for the third time if he was awake and he grumbled at me I said, "Well you BETTER wake up because you're going to be a DAD!!!"
You can only imagine how the rest of our Saturday morning went! :) bwahhhhhh!!!! We did take another test just to be sure!
