So I'm not in the habit of throwing up a whole lot, but apparently my body decided to wreak havoc on me last night. Made myself some dinner... rice & turkey, grapefruit slices, and orange juice. I am the orange juice monster.
Settled in for a couple movies and ate my share. I rented 7 movies... 4 of which are due back today. So I had yesterday and today to watch these movies. Anyway, I figured that if I watched two movies, starting at 7, then I could get to bed by 11 and get a good 8 hours of sleep. I got through "Chloe" just fine... I actually enjoyed it... despite the somewhat depraved plot line.
I was onto enjoying "Repo Men" with 20 minutes to spare, when I started burping up OJ bubbles. After the first hour or so of the movie, I sprinted to the bathroom. Not to be gross or graphic, but everything came up so fast it came out my nose as well as my mouth. Not fun. The combination of citrus mixed with stomach acid scorched my throat, so what do I do? Grab four bottles of water and go sit back on the couch. After another half hour, I was back over the porcelain throne, vomiting up water. This time I had enough warning to pause the movie, take off my glasses, and pull my hair back.
I decided to call my mom... I wasn't about to screw something up and I knew she would have the fix. God bless my mom... she came over with fifty different supplements and walked me through the next hour and a half (unfortunately, turning the TV off). Finally at 12:30am, my stomach had stopping aching and my gag had stopped reflexing. Luckily, 7 and a half hours seemed to work just fine for me and now I'm at work, feeling just as good as ever. Maybe a little queasy.
And so, boys and girls, the moral of the story is...
Never eat citrus. Ever. Especially not before bed when you're 17 weeks pregnant... bad.
