How we found out

Angela woke up to get ready for work on February 1 and wasn't feeling "normal", so she took a pregnancy test. As she had felt symptoms similar in the past, she was a bit surprised when the two faint lines showed up on the test.

Angela woke me up to tell me the news. The conversation went something like this:

(Angela pokes George in the shoulder)
Angela: George, I think I'm pregnant.
George: hrrrrmm?
Angela: I think I'm pregnant.
George: hmm. ok.
(Angela leads a half-asleep George to the bathroom to see the test)
George: mmmhmmm
(George goes back to sleep)
(exeunt)

That evening we went to Tsunami for our anniversary dinner and talked about taking an additional test when we got home just to make sure. To be scientific about it, I got Angela to take two tests. Those two tests also came back positive. At this point we were fairly certain of the outcome, but wanted a more "definitive" answer. To do this, I ran to CVS and bought one of those expensive digital tests (I wasn't even aware they came in digital. You'd think they could make a reusable digital one, similar to a thermometer).

The next morning, Angela took the fancy digital test. The instructions stated that it would take "up to 5 minutes" to get a result, so we set it down and walk off to do other stuff. After only 30 seconds the test was finished: pregnant!
