So far I have found only one caveat with being this jubilant and thrilled: getting to and staying asleep is tough as hell. My face is also a bit sore from grinning. There is also this faint headache from unicorn horns poking me in my brain. This morning I woke up and totally farted a rainbow. I’m a fucking goner. Honestly and truly. I have a bus pass to happy town and I am planning on staying there until I get kicked out.
That being said I can imagine that might eventually be a tad annoying so I will try to tone down excessive use of exclamation marks and cartoon imagery. But if you look under my desk these plaid boots are dancing.
Took another test this morning of the digital persuasion. It was my first time using a First Response digital. This brand was purchased because it was new, it was on sale, and because instead of using the P Word the results were either going to be a pleasant “Yes +” or a manageable “No -”. I figured if bad news was a coming that I could tolerate seeing the word “No” vs the words “Not P______”. Very good thinking there, first response. You get a gold star for ease of relating information.
And for those that can’t get enough of what my pee can do you can look here. I vow not to poke anyone’s eye out with a full frontal pee stick again. heh.
GM has been shown the tests and understands what it means. She has shown me how she likes to rock a baby and has been very sweet and soothing. I have an image in my mind of four generations and I keep that image tight in the front of my mind and hope, hope, hope that it will happen.
Thank you all for your awesome outpouring of love. Now it is just keeping it together to beta testing on Friday because, really, that is what it’s all about.

Yay hot stuff. I will never be upset by this or your joy at this or your eternal smile. I am beyond delighted!!!!!!!
WaaaaaHoooooooooooooo Cali! Many congrats! I know your struggle has been long & hard, but do the best you cant o relish the moments! So many of us are thinkin’ about you!
(I’m not a stalker…just from the FF DS group a few years back!)

*doing the HAPPY DANCE*
Beautiful. That “YES” should have an exclamation mark after it. In fact, they should manufacture one that SHOUTS the word, for just such ocassions as these. THRILLED!
I was just dancing while I was cooking breakfast. But I don’t have plaid boots. (I should though, I will work on that.)
Eventually, your face muscles get used to all the grinning and don’t hurt anymore. (Didn’t I just say on my blog that I grin like a cheerful idiot? I’ve got cheerful grinning experience.)
I love the idea of a Yes/No test. And you know what? I love it when you’re happy. It feels like the universe is righted again.
i had weird dreams last night… wherein weird = wonderfully happy… images of a wonderful girl in a plaid sundress twirling and twirling with a magix wand that had all kinds of “+” on it, in silvery glitter…
and then i woke up and i was grinning recalling the excitement of seeing the post from yesterday… you totally made my week ~ and i needed something Super Duper Happy!!!
love you!

I woke up this morning to the sound of instruments playing. It was from a dream. Realizing it had been too long since I last checked on you I surfed on over and voila… here is the reason for the orchestra in my head as the sun rose today.
