Embarrassing moment of pregnancy

Last night, the most embarrassing thing happened to me. Not that I'm blaming our little sweetheart in my belly, but really and truly, it was completely "morning" sickness related! (BTW - what person ever only had "morning" sickness?! I like to call it 24/7 sickness that strikes at the most inappropriate times!)

Anyway, Robert and I have learned that I really shouldn't eat after 7pm. It really isn't fun, because I'm hypoglycemic, so I need to eat something small (like half a yogurt) about every hour and a half. I used to be able to get away with eating once every 2 1/2 hours, but since I've been pregnant, I really have to have food more often. Last night, I had to eat, because my tummy was growling so loud, I just couldn't ignore it! I don't even remember what it was that I ate, but it wasn't much.

That was a mistake.

Even more than an hour later, it was threatening to not stay down. :(

So, I did what I've always done when I feel sick: I went to the bathroom, shut the door and braced myself for the worst.

It was definitely one of my worst experiences yet.

I won't go into detail, but I had my knees on our bathroom rug. I thought I had everything under control, but then my body was heaving so hard that I hit my head on the toilet, knees (and rug) slid backwards and sideways, and I was laying flat on the floor. It was quite a spectacle, I'm sure. It took me a minute to take inventory and make sure I was okay, but I couldn't move. It was like I was so weak that I was paralyzed! A little scary, but I knew I was okay and just needed water. So, with the most vocal assistance I could muster, I said, "Sweetheart....I need you!"

He came in quickly, saw me upside down in front of him and said, "What the.... are you okay??!"

Sigh. Yes, I was fine. I have this awesome bump & bruise right on my hairline, so when I had my hair cut today, I had Lisa cut my bangs to cover it up until it heals.

I'm sure I have many more embarrassing moments to come, and I'll laugh about it someday, but last night, it wasn't fun! (And none of you will read this for at least a week! lol!)
