I had no idea when I became pregnant that I would turn into part bloodhound. I never expected the super sniff to be this strong. I would like to tell a funny story about this. I warn you now it is a little grotesque. The other day I was getting ready to hop in the shower and needed to use the toilet. So I sat down on the throne and went. Well the smell from the toilet was too much for my super sniffer, so I started to gag. Usually I just gag a few times and I am done. NOT THE CASE, Dennis came in to see if I was okay and this is the sight he gets. Me, naked, sitting on the toilet, puking on the rug. Dennis is in a bit of a panic and starts scrambling to turn on the fan and open the window. I think I have it under control and flush the toilet while I am still seated. NOPE, here it comes again. As I start to heave again, Dennis is telling me to turn towards the shower and use it instead of the rug. Right, I can't control where this is going when I am midstream. After all was said and done I am sitting there with tears in my eyes. I look up and Dennis looks like he has just been knocked in the gut. I start cleaning it up and he told me not to worry about it he will take care of it. What a nice guy. He was probably so in shock he just wanted to get me showered and dressed, back to the normal state. Afterwards we laughed quite a bit about this. Dennis' first comment was, "Oh Carisa is going to love this one."
I think it is very needless to say that labor is going to be a little tough on Dennis. He is going be in the bed next to me unconcious.
I know most of you would not share such an experience but really if you know the Ercanbrack girls this is pretty normal life for us. If you don't believe me just read the stupid thing my sister did this week. Her blog is werahappyfamily.blogspot.com

Somehow I missed that pregnancy experience... Maybe next time. I think Dennis will surprise you. I was a little worried about David and he was a trooper. All the nurses were in love with him I think. The only time he had to compose himself (he told me later) was when he saw them bring the knife out to cut me. And he wouldn't cut the umbilical cord.
ReplyDeleteI did love it! I have tears in my eyes!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
ReplyDeleteI can coach you for labor! i've never been on that side of it!
Oh, how I don't miss the Super Sniffer! This is so much more fun than going through it myself!!! I'm with Cris, tears in my eyes! When I had Addi, it was all natural and I was in so much pain that Paul was turning green and he was instructed by the anethesologist to sit in the chair! So I was delivering by myself!
ReplyDeleteThat brings back some pretty recent memories. And Dennis' reactions sound the same as Leon's usually are. He usually left the room when they started the epidurals for the babies' deliveries. I didn't mind when he had to leave the room. I just wanted him there for the important part. That story is great! Thanks for sharing. So funny.
