I had an embarrassing moment today that was so embarrassing I thought it warranted a spot on the blog. I got very queasy today at work and started gagging at my desk. Now this wouldn't be terrible if I had a normal job, but I work at a kiosk in the mall like a high school Freshman (Don't ask - I got conned into it). So I'm publicly exposed and nowhere near a restroom. I start running through the mall, stopping at every community trash can to heave and gain my composure before continuing on my quest for a restroom. I run inside Macy's and get to their ladies room, but it is super busy and there's a line. Well I can't wait so I start pushing past people, getting dirty looks and shouts as I'm doing so. I grab the only vacant stall and before I'm even able to get the door closed, I start throwing up. Well, all the ladies at this point make noises of understanding as I struggle to get the stall door closed, and continue to vomit louder than I ever have before! How mortifying. When I was finally done everyone was staring and then quickly averting their eyes. I made a quick public apology that they had to be subjected to that but that I was pregnant. They all thought it was really cute, but I hurriedly left, hanging my head in shame. That is all.
Please post your embarrassing moments if you have them so I don't feel so dumb! :) Thanks!
This wasn't supposed to happen!

Oh Honey, I am so sorry. I hope you feel better.
thanks for the sacrifices you are making for one of the most beautiful kids that will ever be born.
One time I was in a room full of people and I peed my pants. Ok, I was 5 and in kindergarten, but does that make you feel better? Sorry about you being so sick. This too shall pass, and hopefully soon!
On my mission we were having a tri-zone Christmas dinner at a chapel in Aix-en-Provence. Being the swell guy that I am, I went to pour drinks for everyone, but being the klutz that I am, I spilled the equivalent of 128 oz. of yellow fruity drink on my lap. It got a slight chuckle from the people immediately around me, but no one else really knew about it. Naturally I needed to go to the bathroom and clean up, but as I was hurrying from the room I tripped over a table leg and went sprawling awkwardly over some chairs like a big lummox. This crash, of course, attracted the attention of all 100 people in the room, who got a good laugh out of seeing me on the floor. In a vain attempt to save some face, I jumped up and tried to act like I was okay, but forgot the reason I was up in the first place. When the crowd saw the huge yellow wet stain on the front of my pants, there was a huge roar of laughter... and after 25 minutes in the bathroom blowing the hand dryer on my crotch, people were still rolling. I don't think I have ever been more embarrassed.
But for that and many other sacrifices, I have also been blessed with one of the most beautiful kids that will ever be born... :-)
Hope you feel better soon kiddo.

YOu were also wearing a green jumper and a matching headband that you had domestically made out of some old lady's green floral curtains. Your gonna be such a great mom:)
