WHEW!!!

I had a dream - a nightmare more accurately - a few nights back that I had been careless and had gotten pregnant again, but didn't know it and had continued to take my oral contraceptives and the baby was deformed and sick. Though I "knew" it was a dream, I continued getting more and more freaked out about it. So to make myself feel better, I stopped by Wal-Mart on the way home tonight and picked up a pregnancy test. The above photo is proof that I have no reason to be freaked out anymore, so I'm saving it for constant reference. Picking up the test, though, was no easy thing. I did NOT want anyone I knew to see me with it. I knew the teasing would be inevitable and pretty soon the rumour would abound that we were pregnant again. Before I even took the test! And as anyone who knows WW (or another small town) knows, it's very difficult to go to a store such as Wal-Mart and NOT see someone you know. To make matters worse, the "sex stuff" (pregnancy tests, condoms, pleasure jelly, etc.) is all in the aisle people form a line in for the pharmacy. So, since the WM pharmacy is extremely busy and slow, that aisle is always full of people. Embarrassed, I decided the only thing to do would be to stand in the line and wait until I was up next to the pregnancy tests, then snatch one off the shelf and make a dash for it. It was then I remembered that I had a refill of my oral contraceptives to pick up at the pharmacy. Convenient! And quite ironic, actually. So anyway, I got home, took the test, and felt TONS better. It was just a dream. Thank GOODNESS!

NOTE: I read up on it, and continuing to take my oral contraceptives after getting pregnant wouldn't hurt a fetus. Just for future reference.
