Not for the weak of stomach

Okay, if you have a weak stomach don't read this post, because it's kind of gross. You all must know I love you. I wouldn't share the nasty details with just anyone...

So last night, we get home from church and I am really thirsty. During the process of feeding Andrew, getting Peyton in the bed, and getting myself ready for bed I drank probably 3 tall glasses of water. Right before bed, I was a little hungry but I am trying to be good so I didn't want to eat much. I grabbed a few Ritz crackers, chomped them down, and headed to bed to watch the news. Sitting propped up in the bed, I had a little burp come up. But it made my throat feel funny. I sat there a few minutes trying to clear my throat and couldn't. Nick was taking a shower and had the bathroom door locked...I barely made it to the kitchen sink where I proceeded to puke 5 times. EWWWWWWW! And you must know that I am NOT a puker. I don't have a weak stomach and rarely ever throw up. I think something triggered my gag reflex because I just could not stop throwing up. And the fact that I had consumed three glasses of water didn't help either. System overload! I busted all the capillaries around my eyes, so now I look like I have a pink and red polka dotted eye mask on. NOT COOL! I told Sandy Coe what happened and she likened me to her backyard dog who comes in the house and drinks his water all in one gulp and then throws it up. HA!

Anyway, I never felt nauseated or anything. Perfectly fine this morning. Lost a pound, too. I don't want to be sick to lose weight, but I guess at least something good came out of it.

Eww.. I threw up a lot during my pregnancy not because of morning sickness, but all because of my weak gag reflex. I did things like that all the time and I would always burst the cappilaries in my eyes, which led people to always ask if I'd been crying. Oh and most of those times if Chad was in the bathroom I'd end up throwing up in the kitchen sink which is just more gross to me for some reason. I guess because it's not like there's already water in there to dilude the contents... ugh!

I am so glad you are not really sick but that story kind of made me snicker. I guess gross stuff makes me laugh and then turns my stomach. You are a trooper... much love!
