Panties or briefs? Depends.

by Bryan Comer

swiffer.bmpSo…Embarrassing moments of pregnancy. I’ve touched on it before. I finally have one for Sarah.

Flatulence…that was the start. Usually a 3rd grade level humor….or guys in an elevator…but still, usually not something that would cause what happened next.

“Even Shelby heard that” says Sarah. Shelby’s our smelly, deaf cat who was standing at ground zero.

“Damn, I think i shit on her…and she smells better…” I say, in my dry wit fashion.

Cue Sarah’s breakdown. She started by giggling…then doubling over…wheezing…more laughing.

“Be careful, don’t pee yourself” I say, half joking. I know the baby’s using Sarah’s bladder as a jumping bag.

“Get out of here…” She is now kinda squatting, knees together, by the refrigerator. So I retreat to the bathroom.

“Hey, that swiffer wet jet is on the wall.” I kid…not knowing what has transpired in front of the fridge.

“Charlie, no…”, she chokes out, nearly out of breath from laughter. What in the hell is happening, I think, and what is our dog doing?

A few moments go by, and I hear the Swiffer Jet…and then I know.

Sarah has peed on herself…and not just a little. Charlie got excited because she was beside the refrigerator, thought there was some lemon-aid on the floor, but after the first lick, he knew. Then, she used the swiffer to clean it up.

“I need to take a quick shower.” she was still trying to control her laughter. I was trying not to laugh at her.

“Well, that was the last shread of dignity I had.”…we are still giggling about it…24 hours later.

    [...] And now, an ode to my husband, who has been SO good to me for the past few days. (Okay, he’s ALWAYS great to me, but this weekend was so wonderful.) As you may have noticed, I hate being pregnant. (REALLY?!) But this weekend, Bryan completely took the reins.  We had great food.  We saw movies.  We went out.  We laughed a lot.  It was so nice for him to say, “Well, let’s go do this,” and we did it.  We got the nursery ready for us to do stuff in there.  He was so amazing, I wasn’t even mad at him for making me pee on myself.

About Sympathy Pain

The "Sympathy Pain" blog is a father's view of what is generally viewed as "woman only" territory, pregnancy. The blog also looks into the blended family and how a new addition affects that family. "Sympathy Pain" is not a battle of the sexes sight, but rather, an open forum for moms and dads.
