Word.

I've always wondered what other people's first words were. When they found out they were pregnant, I mean.

Mine was .... "Oh fuck". To which Gremlin (standing watch outside the toilet) replied "Congratulations!!!!"

Isn't it ironic that some of life's more significant little moments are either spent huddled in a toilet cubicle staring at font size 6 instructions at the back of a blue box, or staring at some random doctor in horror? I mean, for something so miraculous and wonderful, surely we should be looking at something more pleasant, like a beautiful sunset or a smiling dog or a customer service officer from Jason's with a fork in her throat.

Anyway. Gremlin was very sweet. Before that she graciously accompanied me to Watson's to get the pregnancy test kit. She even waddled up, 7 months pregnant, to the salesgirl to ask her where the pregnancy test kits were located (I was too shy).
