Oh how quickly things change

I went to the grocery store this week. I was craving milk and blueberry muffins. I came out with fish sticks and mountain dew. It is amazing what pregnancy does to not only your food cravings but your body as well. Here is a blog I wrote right after the New Year and just now putting it on our website.

Pregnancy hormones, signs and symptoms change everything. I was sitting at my husband’s hockey game trying to hold off a trip to the bathroom until intermission. I successfully did this but I really had to go. Right when I got up to go, my drug of choice (sweet tarts) preceded its way down my windpipe instead of my throat. Well I started choking. The more I choked the more forceful the choking rocked my body. Then I started to feel something warm at my nether-regions. I thought I was bleeding. NOPE. I was peeing my pants. In public. By this time I was in the bathroom (thank you God). Hold on, it gets worse. The choking changed to gagging and then the gagging changed to vomiting. Yes, I peed my pants and vomited all in about 3 minutes. I stood there in horror. How could a little sweet human life cause such havoc on someone’s body?!?! Thank God (once again) that I was wearing black pants that I could wash off and dry under the bathroom dryer vent. If I ever choke again you will see me do about 100 mph to the bathroom. Just a word of caution, get out of my way.
I told my husband after his game what had happened. He stopped dead in his tracks. Then just turned and stared at me. It looked like he was thinking what happened to my proper wife and who replaced her with this geriatric patient.

I will never forget that day.

My hormones are out of control. I can cry at the strangest things. Most recently being The Price Is Right. I have done it twice. Don't worry I know it is just about the craziest thing in the world to start a crying streak. I feel like a moron but good news is the baby is doing well. At least she feels like she is. I can feel her moving on and off during the day. It is wonderful knowing our little girl is safe inside me. It is also amazing how strong she already is. She can really throw a punch or kick or something. Who knows what it is that she is really doing in there. Karlis has not been able to feel her yet but I can’t wait for him too.

So things are good. Yay!
