Alex, the Pregnancy Jinx

I'm writing this, hoping my friend, Alex, reads it in the future.

My friend Alex is a pain-in-the-ass...and I'm so superstitious (which is ridiculous, I realize), I hope her pain-in-the-ass-ness jinxes us into being pregnant.

When I got pregnant with Violet, she was the first person to straight up ask us when we were going to try for kids. We had just found out that we were pregnant, so we very awkwardly answered her question.

This week she asked me when we're going to try again. When I gave her another weird answer, she asked if I was pregnant.

I hope this girl is a jinx. I hope I am pregnant.

We had our IUI on June 27. Now we wait.

I'm impatient, so I've already taken two pregnancy tests. One on Friday (which was way too early). It was negative.

I took another one today...and apparently I'm an idiot, because I made the digital test malfunction. Say what? Yeah...
