My friend M-B has a blog where she captures life raising two boys. One of her frequent titles is "Honesty in parenting" and I couldn't get it out of my mind when I was thinking about what to write today. So M-B, this one's for you, whether you like it or not.
Two weeks ago I had just recovered from a 5 week bout with a head cold that turned into sinusitis. Good thing Sudafed is okay to take during the second trimester because that stuff saved my life. Literally. Okay, not literally, but pretty close. Anyway, was just feeling better when I was hit with a stomach bug. I initially thought it was morning sickness as I woke up feeling okay and then threw up, but instead of feeling better, I started to feel really crummy.
Made it through work all day without throwing up, but wanted to. Just kept telling myself I was fine. But when I got home that night and was hanging out with little c (Daddy was at class), I couldn't convince myself any longer that I was okay. No, I certainly was not okay.
Started throwing up just after dinner, but I had my lovely companion beside me to pat me on the back and alternate with "What doin' Mommy?" and "Mommy's funny!" the entire time I was barfing. That wasn't so bad. And the next time wasn't so bad. But the next time, after I had got little c down to bed, I threw up AND full-on wet my pants at the same time. Gotta love throwing up while having two babies jockeying for position on your bladder.
Oh, and if you really want to know, the next time I missed the toilet completely.
WOW. You just took Honesty In Parking to a whole new level! Impressive! Love you, Skid. xoxoox

Ahahaha, how did I miss those last couple of paragraphs when I was reading this a while ago? I'm guessing Keila had somsething to do with it. Sorry you had such a hard time, but thanks for the glad. Am so glad you're feeling better now, too!
