Initiation

I have passed initiation.  I am officially pregnant.  How did I come to this conclusion- that I am "officially" pregnant?  True, I have been "officially" pregnant for quite some time now... because, well, you can't be more pregnant.  You either are or aren't.  However, alls I'm saying is that if pregnancy was a club, I just completed initiation.  That's right...



I barfed.



Do you want to know how this happened?  It is the dumbest reason... no really.  You are allowed to laugh at me.  The evil, wicked tool of torture??

That's right.  I threw up due to brushing my teeth.  The thing is, when I used to brush my teeth (pre-babyinthebellay), I would accidentally gag myself all the time because I am serious "tongue-brusher"... I think tongues need to be brushed quite thoroughly.  However, your gag reflex becomes quite a bit stronger and more demanding when you are pregnant.  Thus, before when I would gag, my body would say, "::Gag::  Oops!  You are good... no worries!"  Now?  Now my body says, "::Gag::  Hey!  You are throwing up!  Let's do this thing!"

I have nearly thrown up recently while brushing, but I have been able to drink water in order to stop it from happening.  I have been grateful for this blessing- the ability to stop the purging.  Yesterday morning?  Not so much.  I drank water, yes.  However, I knew that this time might be different... which is why I decided to visit the Porcelain Express.  Thankfully I hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so I only threw up my spleen.

This is all to say that I am now an official, sworn-in member of Club Pregnant.  Thank you and good day.
