Sick.
I think I’ve been sick this entire pregnancy, accept for about two weeks. (That’s 19 weeks of sick when I include the morning sickness) 19 fuckin’ joyfilled, wonderful weeks.
19 weeks of cough, congestion, queasy stomach, throwing up and snotty nose.
19 weeks of peeing my pants.
Isn’t pregnancy glamorous? I’ve resorted to wearing a pad since I cough so often. Essentially, I am wearing a diaper.
Who would have thought? 26 years old and suffering incontinence.
I mean, is this normal? Is this really what happens to us when we have children and get older? I feel like if I get pregnant again I’m one step closer to moving into an old age home where they’ll be changing my diaper for me. Does this happen to a lot of people or am I just a freak? Because seriously, it’s a little disheartening to think about the fact that I am wearing a fucking diaper at the moment.
I tried to share my anguish with my husband last night. To confide in him, like married couples in love are supposed to do.
Me (whining): “Mike, every single time I cough, I pee. I hate this. I am so miserable and it’s embarassing! I have to wear a pad as a diaper.”
Mike (half listening): “Don’t worry, I’d still hit it.”
Feel the love people, feel the love.
Hey, I must still have a little something left if I confess to my husband that I am peeing my pants and wearing a diaper if he still wants to have sex with me. I can’t be all that bad. Right?
P.S. Even more photos of Vegas are up at Flickr!
Haha! You are right to see a silver lining in his comment! This too shall pass, and ye shall not be wearing Depends when it does.

I couldn’t help but burst into laughter at Mike’s response to you…
You poor girl… you guys are so funny.

Oh you poor thing! Can you even take meds when you are sick and pregnant? (these are the ignoramus things I don’t know since I’ve never had any buns in mah oven).
Get better!

Either you are one hot momma or your hubs is one sick puppy.
You choose.
But you know I’d still cop a feel. Even if you are wearing a diaper.
Wink, wink.
(BTW, I had huge incontinence problems with my 2 and 3 pregnancy. Fun.)

Here’s the scoop: There are several times when I have sneezed and then I exclaim “Oh man, I just peed!”
My husband thinks it’s hilarious. It gets me out of trouble everytime.

Um, dude. You’re not alone at all….I wore a big frickin’ pad for the last couple of months. My husband just laughed at me and elbowed my older son (4y/o and potty-training-in-progress)to tell him that mommy peed her pants.
….then started singing the “accidents happen” song from the Elmo’s potty time video….

That is so sweet…”I’d still hit it!” Aaaah.
Men! Sheesh!
And yes, I think the peeing is normal. At least I hope it is.

I so love my children…but they have destroyed my body! I’m not pregnant, but after 3 kids, I sneeze or cough without warning and I’m done for.

Men, You gotta love em or you would kill them. I have a husband that is the same way. I told him once that I believe he would ask for action if I had snot running down my lip,hacking up a lung,messing on myself and puking in a bucket. His response? Just hang your head over the side of the bed, babe, I’ll do the rest! Your not alone.

Oh ya…thank gawd that I’m not the only one. I had such a bad cough when I was preggers the second time around that I had to buy actual pee-pee pads. Serious. I was so friggin embarassed when I bought them and even more so when I had to sneak them into the house. Thankfully you don’t have to wear paperthin scrubs at your work so if your pee-pee pad leaks, everyone knows you peed your pants. They may as well have admitted me right then and there…
