I'm not having a baby, so why am I the one throwing up??

Sympathy morning sickness is real.

Melissa's hormones are steam rolling over mine. I am nauseas every morning, for no apparent reason. I hate throwing up, it is my least favorite thing in the world to do, but if I can throw up for Melissa so she won't, it is the least I can do.

I looked up pregnancy websites to find out if I have lost my mind. The good news, is I am not crazy when it comes to this particular topic. The bad news is the jury is still out on other matters and I may be crazy when it comes to other things.

I guess it just a way for the "your life is really going to change" message into my head. It could also be nature's way to get me ready for all the various body fluids I will have to deal with once the baby gets here.

When I worked as an EMT, I worked out a deal with my partner. If the patient was bleeding, I would ride in the back because Matt would faint (I know it is a funny thing for an EMT). If the patient was vomiting, Matt would ride in the back and I would drive. If the patient was bleeding and throwing up, well we would flip a coin.

I have a weak stomach when it comes to vomit, usually I will throw up "with you" if you get sick to your stomach. There have been many patients, who asked me if I was OK during my career. So I am sure this is a test to see if I can "stomach" being a mom.
