Shit Just Got (Really) Real

Yesterday, after being only two days late, I decided to take a pregnancy test. Now, don't let me lie to you - I'd been taking them for almost a week (what can I say? I bought a 20pack on Amazon for SUPER cheap) but they'd all come up negative. I decided to swing by Target and get a "First Response" which promises to detect pregnancy before your missed period - yeah, that's what I need in my life. Went home. Peed on test. It came back with a dark line and a faint line. Holy shit. What do I do now? I hid the test back in it's wrapper underneath the sink and pretended like nothing happened. Of course I went back several times throughout the evening to check, and it was indeed still positive. I hatched my plan to reveal it to Champ the next day and (understandably) slept like shit.

Wednesday came and work couldn't go by any slower, I had a long lunch break before my Professional Development so I went to Nike and scooped up some mini kicks, went to Barnes and Noble (yes, physical bookstores still exist) and got a Baby Sign Language book and something to the effect of "Dude to Dad" and stashed them in my backseat while I suffered through a pointless meeting.

When I got home I planned to wait until after my shift at Orangetheory, but I just couldn't hold out. While Champ was doing some work in the office I stashed the shoes, test, and a card in a box that had arrived the day prior, one that as you'll see in the video, I wanted Champ to do an "unboxing" of for our Beachbody business (this was the only way I could think of to be able to record his reaction). Sure enough, he took the bait, opened the box and was completely surprised.
