(((Ugh – they’ve confirmed it. Angelina Jolie is pregnant again.)))
Well, I knew if I started counting my blessings for not getting morning sickness, fate was going to bite me in the butt.
The last couple of days, I’ve been plagued with nauseau and have thrown up every time I’ve attempted to brush my teeth. I currently use lemon toothpaste, and I’m wondering if that’s somehow triggering my gag reflex. Ugh. Just the thought of putting the toothbrush in my mouth makes me feel like heaving.
I think I may have had a touch of the flu (or food poisoning) last night. At 4:00 this morning, I had liquid flowing out of every available orifice. Is there anything worse than being sat on the toilet, with the garbage can balanced on your lap to use as a puke bucket????? And Dave is in Argentina for work, so I couldn’t even ask him to bring me a can of ginger ale. It was a rough, rough night.
We’re still having the great Vegas debate. We now found out that we can fly out there & pay coach, but get upgraded to first class to free with our frequent flier (flyer?) miles. And our hotel will be free. It would be so nice to get away for a couple of days……but I can’t get the worries about a UTI or more kidney stones out of my head. I have vicodin from the last stones, but I can’t stand the thought of being sick so far away from home.
And I’m wondering if it’s okay to visit a tanning bed while I’m pregnant. I can’t find conclusive answers one way or the other, so I’m going to ask The Gynie God about it at tomorrow’s visit. I know you’re not supposed to raise your body temperature while you’re pregnant, but I usually go to a stand-up booth with a GIANT ceiling fan in the top of the capsule. I never feel overheated when I’m in there (and I would probably only go for 6 or 7 minutes at a time). But if he says no, not to risk it, I won’t go.
I think tomorrow will be my last appointment with The Gynie God. I got a referral to a clinic which is only about 15 miles from my house, versus The Gynie God who is about 25 miles away. I hate to change OB’s when I’m already close to rounding out my first trimester; yet I want a doctor who’s genuinely interested in my well-being and who can be flexible with his bookings if needed. I’m not asking him to meet me at the clinic at 2:00 a.m. – I just want to be able to change an appointment if I need to, without being harassed about it.
On my way out the door, I want to stop at the scheduling desk and yell, “Life is inconvenient, people – get over it!”
I can tell you right now, the doctor is going to say no on the tanning. Maybe ask him about self tanners? I would LOVE to go to Vegas about right now, but I understand your concerns. Maybe ask your doc about that too?

how about one of those Mystic tans, the kind they spray on?
I hope you get a chance to get away and that you are able to enjoy it!!

Ditto the no go on the tanning bed, even the stand ups. I heard mixed reviews about the sunless tanners, so I dunno.
If you’re soliciting opinions about whether or not to go, I probably wouldn’t. Not that it wouldn’t be safe, but because if the main reason you want to get away is to seek warmer weather, by the time your flight dates come around it’ll be Spring. And I dunno about you, but I’d personally have a better time shopping, shopping, shopping. Then again, I really don’t dig Las Vegas.
