Milestone achieved! Puking in a moving car!

This adventure of being pregnant got a whole lot more exciting tonight while riding in a car. We traveled 2 hours away to visit family and were about 20 minutes from home when I could tell ms was coming for only the 2nd time this pregnancy. Luckily, I had brought a bucket "just in case", even though DH thought I was being crazy, and was able to do my biz while DH was going 75 down the interstate.
It was pretty traumatic for him as I apparently have a very aggressive way of throwing up and it sounds like I'm gurgling it. In the past, when I'd puke from too much booze, he'd yell from the other side of the door to make sure I was ok- he cannot handle my noises. He however, took this one like a champ and rubbed my back while drdriving
Thankfully, we made it to the next exit safely and were able to empty and clean out the 1/3 filled bucket. I tell ya what, it's very interesting to see how much volume actually comes out but is not interesting to feel the warmth of the bucket in your lap.
DH was pretty funny afterwards though and said "I see your joy in having ms is over" to which I said, non sarcastic, "heck no! That was kind of fun, puking in a car! This pregnancy stuff is getting better and better!"
Now, if my ms gets as bad as some of yours, I'll probably change my tune but with my lack of major symptoms, it's great to have a nice reminder that my beans should still be doing alright.
10w today and it's started with a bang!

Re: Milestone achieved! Puking in a moving car!
No way could I throw up out the window like that. This way, there was no mess to clean up except emptying the bucket.
I have a drinking problem:
I guess I'm just so happy to be pregnant that I probably wouldn't care where I had to get sick, as long as I was as prepared as I am not and didn't create a mess.
But anyway, this reminds me of a story a friend of mine told me once. She was celebrating her birthday and on the way home, going 75 down the interstate, had to vomit. I've definitely felt like that could easily have been me in the past couple of weeks. Luckily, I rarely ride in cars so it hasn't been a huge issue.
Oh, and did I mention that it was in his brand new convertible Camaro? Yeah... I didn't feel bad about it though ;-)
I try to be as prepared as possible, which I know is a joke when it comes to parenting. I've been taking my trusty bucket into the car with me and have a "post puke kit" in my purse at all times.
I'm glad I only have to drive a few times a week and mostly only up the road to the store. I don't know how ladies do it while driving!
