So Sick!

No, I don't have some virus or bacterial infection. I'm just sooo sick of pregnancy symptoms! I've pretty much had them all. I purposefully haven't complained about them on my blog, though. A lot of you have experienced them and those who haven't don't want to hear about it! BUT, I have to tell you a funny story because I like telling funny stories and it involves a dreaded pregnancy symptom :)...

Let me first start out with some background information. I'm pretty sure there is a gene in my family that causes frequent choking. I can easily choke on any liquid I put into my mouth, including my very own saliva! If I eat/drink anything sweet there is a high probability I will choke on it, especially if I'm trying to multi-task, (like walk down stairs while eating an apple is a recent example). I know several of my siblings have this problem and I'm pretty sure my dad does ;). Anyway, on to my story...

I've been downing Otter Pops like crazy lately because of the horribly hot weather. (It reached 99 degrees the other day!) Yesterday was no exception. I was sitting at the computer eating a red one while checking facebook or something. When I finished the frozen part there was an inch or so of liquid on the bottom. Of course, I tilted my head back and dumped the liquid into my mouth. As soon as it touched my tong I knew I had made a bad decision. As usual, the very sweet liquid slipped straight into my air passage. I didn't want to spew red juice all over my computer/wall/carpet so I swallowed the remaining juice before coming up for air. When I tried to breath it was awful! I was hacking and gagging, trying to breath but to no avail.


Finally, I ran into the kitchen to get some water and maybe throw up in the sink. As I'm leaning over the sink a particularly violent caugh causes a burst of urine to enter my panties! Yikes! Since I hadn't been getting enough oxygen for several seconds I'm seeing stars and feeling dizzy so the pee is the last of my concerns... until the next caugh brings on more pee! This is getting ridiculous. I'm glad no one was around to watch me as I finally crossed my legs to stop wetting my pants and gagged up the remaining red Otter Pop juice into the sink. Although, I'm sure it would have been a funny sight to see. When I finally calm down enough to breath and take a drink of water I can't help but laugh at what just happened. Did I really just wet my pants from choking on an Otter Pop?!

Immediately I called Tyler to tell him the story. He tried to feel bad for me, but couldn't keep in his laughs either. To make me feel better about my accident, I'm justifying it due to pregnancy. Even Web MD says, "During pregnancy, many women experience at least some degree of urinary incontinence..." So, don't judge me. ;)


Remember this photo from six flags?


I didn't really wet myself from the Superman ride. My wet bathing suit soaked through.
