Peeing Too Much
Share
Since I stopped working out…. well, small hand weights while I watch TV… I think urination has become my sport. I was always good at it. When I worked in radio I had "who can piss faster contests" on air with guys I worked with. Including washing of hands, I always won. I know, don't be jealous; some people are born with a talent, and I have a very fast bladder. Too bad it's not a sport I can monetize. The frequent peeing thing is less stressful this time than it was the first pregnancy. Like so many of the pregnancy symptoms, I take it in stride knowing it will be done soon. And since this is my swan song to pregnancy, I really don't want to complain but embrace it all. I also know the night pees are getting me in training for waking up with a newborn.
True story. When I was near delivering with Vivien, I was in Santa Monica (as Harry Shearer calls it "the home of the homeless"). I was parked on the 3rd or 4th floor of the parking structure up from the shops. The elevator was broken, so heaving my large frame, I made up to the car. Now, mind you it's summer as well. Okay, so I am standing by my car, and I realize I have to piss like a moose. I can't face going down and coming back up. And the merchants aren't that open about sharing their baños anyway. I think hey, millions of homeless people can't be wrong, right? So I go to the front of my car (the hidden part) and just peed. There, I admit, and I will never make it in politics anyway.
I love you more than ever, for peeing in the parking garage.
Ha! Good for you for admitting it. And I'm sure no one would blame you, especially if it they have ever been pregnant!
Ahaha, so funny. I recently went on driving trip to Chicago (I'm in Madison, WI) and it took us an hour to go something ridiculous like six miles. I had to pee so bad I almost cried. I can't imagine being pregnant and having the issue multiplied!
So funny. This was by far the worst part of my last month (er, 5 weeks) of pregnancy. And I would just sneeze and pee my pants, I mean really pee my pants, so it was embarrassing too. My husband didn't really get it until he was with me during one of those pants-peeing episodes, then he never wanted to take me anywhere, haha.
*gasp* You forgot to wash your hands!
Hilarious! God, you never lose your sense of humor, do you? What a baby book this one will have!
btw - I just watched the video and wanted to say that you have a fantastic haircut!! I'm so jealous…

i would totally pee in a parking garage. When you gotta go, you gotta go.
Wow, is this what your life has become………….. really bad ……….. Let yourself have a life. Get your husband to watch the kids every now and then and get out. These videos are really a wast of your time. I just happen to be looking for some good information for my wonderful wife and found these videos on itunes. I took a look and felt really sorry for what I can see has not been a very good life for you the last several years. Hope you get your life together and find a good use for it.
