Plus Sign ... REALLY!

It had been 3.5 weeks since we left the "Practicing" phase and entered the "Trying" to get pregnant phase. I mean after all we had been practicing for a while. Some day you have to go play an actual game. Well I'm informed that we might have a game over as soon as it started. We crushed the competition. I half heartedly say whatever then lets get a test kit.
Side note: MEN SHUT UP! Don't look at these and act like you know what the h#ll goes on with them. I thought one that said pregnant vs not pregnant was the way to go. Wife had other thoughts and this lead to the CVS standoff get what you think I should have face. I'll spare you the drama, I'm wrong she's rigt blah blah stupid man.
We get home and rush to take the test.. Wait plus before we even look at it... Honey you must have done something wrong. It is already positive. That just can't be. It took less time to tell me I have a kid on the way then it takes me to find football on TV. That is too fast by anyones calculation.
OK try it again. EVERYONE does this exact same process. Not one soul, whether they were expecting it or not, just trusts one $13 stick meant to be used as a tolietry item. NO ONE. That is ok. I thought ahead. I bought a pack of TWO (no I was not at Costco). PLUS sign comes up within 20 seconds of the second try.
It is exciting and so anti-climatic. In the movies some wise man (preferrably with a cane) walks up and says in old english, "She is with child." Where is my know it all sage wizard. Instead me and my wife look at each other and are excited, but woefully unprepared. We need to call our doctor. We need to actually GET a doctor. We need to find the insurance cards. We realize a lot of things we thought were important (sniff sniff, Rockband) are not really that important anymore.
We are incredibly excited. That was easy. We must find a doctor first......
