We were on little holiday with the family in wilds of Northern Minnesota. Leslee had this amazing glow about her. She gradually became exothermic. She was starting to talk about feeling nauseous, but she didn't think much about it. I thought maybe we should stop drinking so many rum drinks. We thought back to this great dinner we had at the Herb Farm the month before.... We didn't say anything to my family.
So we get home, Leslee was still getting nauseous. We kind of figured at this point that cells were dividing somewhere. Nevertheless, I think we hung out at home for a few days before I drove to the pharmacy and grabbed a pregnancy kit. For some reason, they come in two packs.
So Leslee did her thing, while I held the directions, and we waited for the longest few seconds of our live. There was no debate. That little stick lit right up. I danced around the house and then into the back yard. Leslee looked a little shocked, happy, worried, then shocked again. I've got pictures of all of it. I'll post them here later. It felt like a big deal, like a really big deal.
