Pregnancy Testing, the ancient way

I'm doing a lot better. The past few day I've haven't been as nervous and have kept pretty busy. I still have my moments of anxiety, but thankfully I've been around a lot of people and that has kept my mind off of things. I went and saw the new Pirates movie on Saturday and hung out with friends. On Monday I spent the day with hubby and we went to visit some grave sites, then went to Ogden and played mini golf, he tried out the Flowrider (an artificial wave you can surf and boogie-board on), had dinner and just spent time together. So that was really fun! Yesterday I hung out with my sister and did some gardening and today I'm going to go to her house and help her plant things in her garden. So far, so good. Wow, I can't believe I go into the doctor tomorrow! Crazy. It kinda got me thinking about the history of pregnancy tests. I read something about it on the internet a couple months ago, but couldn't remember where I found it before. So I looked up some articles this morning and I like this one: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art44462.asp . It's got some humor in it, which I like. So I guess if I want to find out, I can do like the Egyptians did: first pee on some barley and wheat seeds, if the barley grows, it's a boy, if the wheat does, its a girl, if nothing grows, not pregnant. They actually did a study in the 60's to see if this was at all accurate and it predicted with 70% accuracy. Interesting stuff. Anyway, wish me luck for tomorrow! Whatever happens, I know I've done my best. I was feeling really down on myself last week, thinking that I was doing horrible at everything in my life, and wasn't doing as good as I could. But then a comforting thought came into my mind "you are doing what you can right now. you are doing the best that you can with your circumstances. don't give up" I am so grateful for that. I know that I'm not perfect, but right now I'm doing all that I can do.

Oh, here's a pic of my new shoes! I think they're cute!
