BFN - And The Long Tattoo Day

As mentioned in the title, today I got a BFN. Aka - Big Fat Negative.
Yes that's right, I am only 10 dpo and I took a early response pregnancy test.
I think it may have been sitting at a tattoo parlor for 7 hours (not getting tattooed) and the constant feeling that I should be pregnant so obviously a test would show that.
And even though I got a BFN, I am still pretty hopeful. I was a 2 pack, and I will save the other one until Wednesday when I should actually be testing.
It almost felt like a relief just testing, knowing, then carrying on with my day.

And our day started super early this morning packing the kids up and shippin em' off to school. With the new spring shoes! The sale is still ongoing on Skopunkt's website - Buy 3 Pay for 2, so if you are in Sweden now's a good time to get those sneakers!

Then Richard and I were off to Tattoo World in Höör. With a chocolate muffin from the gas station in hand we made the hour long journey north to the same place I got my rib-cage tattoo last April. The plan was for me to work while Richard got a Japanese sleeve tattoo done, but ofc no one had the internet key but the boss who was in Thailand. Just my luck right?

There's Janne working on Richard right at the beginning. We were there from 9 until nearly 4:30 pm so I had to keep myself busy doing things like... knitting legwarmers, watching Teen Wolf which I mysteriously had downloaded sometime before, buying snacks, and ofc....buying the pregnancy test.

Outlines on the top side done!

Richard has been waiting 6 years to get this sleeve done so he was pretty thrilled, though right this moment covered in ink goo, Helosan, and plastic wrap....

Shading done. Look - I photobombed!

The underside of the tattoo has a portrait which was originally painted by Audrey Kawasaki. It is all just in the baby stages now, and Richard will be going back in a few weeks once his arm has healed up.

When we got home we got ourselves packed to head on up to Skövde tomorrow to see Richard's family! We will be leaving first thing in the morning - it's a 5 hour drive up north and I hope we all survive the car ride.

Until then, the kiddos are watching Transformers on the new plasma TV and the whole house is booming. Time to call it a night and hope my sad enormous tummy calls it quits. And I will certainly keep on counting days until March 5th!
