The wait continues...

I'm three days late, but the test was negative.  I'm like clockwork, so late is weird.  All the websites say that's no big deal, you might not have a positive test for a week after a missed period, but this waiting is draining.  Am I?  Chris has been texting me about every 15 minutes for status updates.  He's so excited.  He told me he feels like he's filled with joy.  For that fact alone, I hope there is a baby there.  I'd hate to take that joy away.  I'm trying to seem indifferent, because I don't want to be disappointed, but that little bubble of hope is there.  Three days late!!  We've decided that if there is no arrival by Friday, we'll take another test.  Fingers crossed!!
