I Told My Husband I Was Pregnant on Valentine’s Day

His response was classic

I called in sick because I had a cough and I’d missed my period that month.

The day before, I trudged out in the snow to buy a pregnancy test at CVS. I peed in a cup and stared at the stick. Two lines confirmed my suspicion.

I dialed the number to women’s health and scheduled an appointment for the afternoon. On the way home, I stopped at the general store and bought baby booties.

Later, we exchanged Valentine’s Day gifts.

I found scrapbooking supplies nestled into a pink gift bag. The card was sweet and sentimental. He found the pair of baby booties nestled into his gift bag.

I raised my eyebrows.

He sat.

“I thought all this time I was shooting blanks.” He smiled wide.

“Guess not,” I hugged him. “Happy Valentine’s Day.”
