The day after my last post, my nausea came back. Can you believe?! Oy. And then it sort of went downhill from there (massive headache for 2 weeks apparently caused by sinus inflammation, water in ears, stress, then there were the insurance claims for rare meds approved for pregnancy – talk about inducing more of a headache!-, etc.). Can a girl catch a break? I mean, really.
Well, eventually, I had the most memorable moment of my nausea/pregnancy event so far.
This Facebook post sort of explains it all. Take a look.
Part I
Part II
So, yep, I hurled in a restaurant bathroom and everyone heard. Fortunately, Gina let them all know I’m pregnant but still, walking out of the bathroom only to stare into the faces of people having just heard me was a moment I’ll never forget.
And it wasn’t just a little puke either… it was a 5-10 minute ordeal that seemed to not let me go. I peed myself again and everything. It was awful (and later, awfully funny). We weren’t even there to eat! We just stopped in to get a little sprite to settle my stomach before our appointment with our CPA.
As soon as I came out of the lieu (hoping no one had heard) I looked at Gina’s face, saw everything packed up, my bag over her shoulder, and I knew immediately the walls had been thin. I found a side door and beelined outta there faster than you can say “morning sickness.”
As awful as it was, and as awful as I have I have felt the four days since then, we’ve been laughing about that all the way. You gotta, right? Or else, as Emily Saliers would say, “…you’d just cry your eyes out.”
