"Morning" Sickness Blues

Why do pregnant women have morning sickness? This may be one of the first questions I ask Jesus when I get to heaven. Just kidding, but it really stinks. Yesterday (Saturday) I felt TERRIBLE all day long. It is probably because I did not sleep well that night. Klara and I stayed at my parents' house because Alex was gone to a conference until Saturday night, and I did not sleep well on their guest bed. After leaving their house and coming back home, I proceded to lose my breakfast in the kitchen sink. Sorry if this is too yucky for you. You may want to stop reading now if you have a weak stomach. My parents came over to play with Klara so I could rest. After they left I noticed that Klara had a poopy diaper. On our way to her bedroom to change the diaper, I started gagging from the smell. So we darted into the bathroom and I proceded to get sick.....really sick. Poor Klara was just standing there having to watch me. I happened to glance up at her to make sure she had not left the bathroom, and what I saw was the most pitiful thing ever. My baby started throwing up everywhere!!!!!!! I guess watching me vomit was too much for her poor little stomach. As much as I wanted to grab her up and comfort her, all I could do was continue throwing up in the toilet. Then my lovely dogs enter the bathroom and start trying to lick up Klara's throw up, which gagged me even more and made me throw up again. I was finally able to contain myself and get to Klara, who had proceded to slip and fall down in her vomit. I finally got us out of the bathroom and closed the door. I called Alex and told him he would have quite a mess to clean up when he got home! I would have become sick again if I would have cleaned it up. After it was all over I just had to laugh along with my sobbing. I felt horrible, my baby threw up watching me throw up, but all of it somehow struck me as sort of funny. I really hope this does not happen again. I guess the moral of the story is to not throw up in front of your children.
