My crap-tastic day (long, TMI, no labor, no baby - just crappy day)

(warning - whining)
Like with all my pregnancies, this one comes with Hyperemesis. Constant throwing up. I take nightly meds to control it (Unisom - *edit* Zofran doesn't even touch it). Last night, because I'm so DONE, I decided that in addition to all the other "natural induction" stuff I'm doing, I would stop taking my meds. There's a chance that this far along, it might not make me throw up.
Rewind to last night - a knock on the door at 10:10pm - our neighbor who is downright crazy - wants to buy our car but hasn't come up with the money but decided he's pissed because we left the windows down on "his car". Whatever. it's been over 2 weeks since he said he'll have the money "the next day". So I'm wound up and don't sleep well.
This morning, I oversleep (sort of intentionally...) and arrive to work late. To a chorus of "we didn't think you'd come in today - you STILL havn't had that baby?!"
Um. No. I had him last night and thought I would still come to work but stuff my clothes with a huge pillow. *grrrr*
Fast forward to lunch - I bring lunch 5 days a week. But since I woke up late and rushed out the door, I didn't bring a lunch today. So I splurged (which I usully feel guilty about) and bought lunch. that was noon. 2pm I'm in the bathroom. Now I feel even more guilty because the money I spent on lunch was wasted. And not only that, but when I throw up, I tend to pee my pants. So I end up sitting in the bathroom stall at work, unable to leave, frustrated at EVERYTHING, and in tears. I text DH - poor guy - how's he supposed to help from 30 miles away?! I finally clean up the best I can, splash water on my tear stained face and duck out to my desk. I call DH, let him know that I'm going to leave work early and send an email out to my friend to let her know that I'm leaving because my stomach's upset - and I SNUCK OUT OF WORK. I didn't want people questioning me and asking me if I was in labor.
The upside is that I have my hospital bag in my car at the park and ride so I was able to put on clean clothes, drive home, and even get a small nap in before I headed out to my son's baseball game.
Tonight I will NOT be skipping my meds. And tomorrow I've got a doctor's appointment so I won't have to go to work. And maybe, just maybe, the doctor will find that there's some progress in the labor dept. that I just haven't felt. Or schedule and induction. Or something else that might give me some hope that this baby will come before christmas.
thanks for letting me whine. I try and stay strong but some days just plain suck.

Re: My crap-tastic day (long, TMI, no labor, no baby - just crappy day)
I also pee my pants when I throw up so I know exactly what you mean. Granted I only puked for 14 weeks, I can't imagine how you can do it for 40. Do you take Zofran?
Ahhhh.... sorry you had a bad day. That baby better come tomorrow to make up for it!
I was 10 days overdue with DD and I totally understand how hard each day past your due date is and how annoying the, "you haven't had your baby yet?" comments are. I hope baby decides tonight is the night, so you don't even have to go to your appointment tomorrow!
My daughter was smack dab on time and my son was 12 days late and induced.
Zofran doesn't touch the hyperemesis for me - Unisom is the only thing that keeps it under control (I'm still nauseous every day - but keeps me from throwing up most days).
I'll update after my appointment tomorrow...I'm a little anxious about the thought of induction, was really hoping my body would figure this out, but at this point, I'm done and ready.
ugh I always peed while I puked too. It's so fun isn't it? I would be running to the bathroom trying to take off my clothes at the same time... adorable.
I hope you're almost done.
I am so sorry! If for some reason you do not have this baby by Monday I am going to come capture you and bring you to my work and give you a massage! You deserve it! Let me know if you don't! I have a 12:45 massage with your name on it!
Do it, Laura!
I hope that baby gets a butt out the door ASAP for you! I think at this point, you're free to say whatever you want to your co-workers if they ask stupid questions.
I'm going to make an AWESOME big brother.
All of this, especially the inhumanity of working your last month of pregnancy. I hope that little guy decides to make his entrance very soon!
