There are a lot of things in life you end up following the old adage of “hurry up and wait”, and Tom Petty crooned “waiting is the hardest part”. It’s really not that different waiting on the Magic Wand. (I’m stealing the phrase “Magic Wand” from Harlan Cohen’s Dad’s Pregnant too! It is a really good book for both Moms and Dads.)
The Magic Wand is all powerful, holds the answers to one of life’s true mysteries, and once it’s waved, a guy’s power, place and fate in the world is sealed! You really have to read the excerpt from the book to gain a full appreciation for that.
Back to waiting… following the procedure, all you can do is wait. Will we know in 7 days, should we wait for 10, 2 weeks is too long we can’t stand it.
Following the procedure Dina had to travel with work, and was going to be out of town on day 7. She was able to hold off and made it back home before she was going to do the deed and pee on the stick.
It wasn’t quite like waking up as a child on Christmas morning and having that level of excitement and anticipation, but there certainly was an air of eagerness when she woke up (it has to be a morning thing). And just HOW LONG can three minutes turn into?!?!?!?
Regardless of the anticipation and anxiety, seeing that test positive after this long was one of those crazy, “Wow” moments! You want to jump and shout, but you also don’t want to jinx it, and for it not to be true.
And as it turns out, it truly is magic!
Voila… the Magic Wand!
