Ha, ha! I'm feeling it, Kim... At least we don't have to wait for an envelope from the US postal service anymore...

I know, right? I had to wait for the Dr.'s office to call me, way back in the day. Thank you for commenting, Gershon! I appreciate it!

I remember those days sitting nervously with my wife. Just hoping for the right answer. Another good one.

Thank you, Jerry! The inspiration came from a video chat we had with my youngest son and his wife. Instead of just telling us they were pregnant they held up the pregnancy test.
