Today I had to take Cooper in for his 18 month check up.
We arrived at the Dr. right on time and I of course had to go to the bathroom (I can't even stand up from a chair without feeling like I might pee my pants). So once we got checked in I rushed to the restroom with Cooper holding my hand like a good boy.
The restrooms at our Pedi are right there in the waiting room with the door facing the open room.
The door knob is one of those that just has a handle that you pull down on to open the door. No twisting involved. The lock is one you push in and when you pull down on the handle it automatically unlocks the door. Is anyone seeing where I'm going with this.
Let me set the scene now that you know what I'm seeing once I get in the restroom.
Cooper is nicely standing next to me, With his largely prego, no control over her bladder about to pee my pants mama. I struggle to get the damn belly band attached to my jeans down so I can go. I won't sit becauseEWWW public restroom people!
I start to hover and go to the restroom (sorry if TMI). Right about this point, Cooper starts to dart to to the door eyeing that door knob, I thought I could grab his hand before he ran off but unfortunately the little love is just too dang fast for me these days. I notice what he's about to do and in mid stream have to stop the urine. Do you have any idea how difficult this is when your 31 weeks pregnant and have a hard time holding your bladder as it is???? Well let me just tell you, it was no picnic in the park. Luckily I didn't pee on myself and I made it just in time to catch Cooper from pushing open the door. Yes its a push open door (I'm guessing because its a pediatricians office and its supposed to be kid friendly and easy to get in and out of)? Either way, I nearly lost it with my pants at my ankles, nakedprego belly poking out and barely able to hold my pee rushing to stop him from revealing me in all my glory to everyone in the waiting room.
It was a blast. I was literally out of breath from trying to run to catch him, or else the entire waiting room would have gotten a show that was not quite PG-13.
I truly dodged quite the embarrassing moment. I would have absolutely been mortified if he had swung that door open. OH MY GOSH!!!
It was really actually funny, but at the time I was so out of breath and scared out of my mind that I didn't see the humor.
I know all of you moms out there or prego girls can completely understand about the always having to go to the restroom issue. So I assumed you'd get a kick out of this story. I just had to share.
I've been meaning to do a post on all the things going on last week but haven't gotten the chance. I promise I will soon. I have so many good pictures and even a video to share. Now I actually need to do it!
I can say that I've been having severe rib pain this past week. This happened with Cooper but yesterday I was in such pain I could barely sit at my desk at work. I nearly cried out of agony. This is just not normal for me at all. More on that in my next post though.

I hate those doors; B wants to open them every single time too :)
Oh my goodness! They should put latches up high for situations like this. You poor momma, but I am QUITE impressed. Isn't it amazing how quick your reflexes are as a momma ;) Hope you don't have too much more rib discomfort . . those last few weeks are killer sometimes!
HAHAHA! Best prego story ever...I would have been mortified as well!! I'm so glad you didn't reveal yourself to the whole waiting room! That lil Coop is a stinker!
I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time, but now looking back you are able to laugh about it.... We have those door handles all over our house. Quite fun! NOT :)
omg that story made me laugh. can't wait for your post
HA!! That is hilarious! Bless your heart! I know how hard it is to move swiftly with that preggo belly holding you back! Hope your ribs are feeling better today! Little Miss, take it easy on your Mama!! :)
Oh that little stinker!! LOL
Hope your rib is feeling better. Ouch!
hahahahahahaha!!!!!!
oh my goodness, bless you:) what is it about busy little boys keeping their mommas on their toes, at all times!
Oh my word, Melissa! haha. I can literally just imagine how hard that must have been for you. The hardest thing for me when I was pregnant was if I had to hold it if I had to pee. Glad you got a hold of Cooper before it was too late! :)
That has happened to me but I wasn't pregnant. My kids ran out leaving the door open and I simply just had to finish. Luckily it was a womens restroom and they seemed like they had been in that situation before.
OMG - I am so glad you got to him before he opened the door!
This made me laugh! That will be a fun memory :)
ha ha ha thanks for putting a smile on my face this afternoon.. love it :) glad you got to him in time!
I love that story!!! :) Super funny and I could actually picture the whole thing (which kinda bothers me a bit...) I'm so proud of you for being able to stop yourself.
Melissa....I can SO see how this would happen. Sounds like something that would happen to me!! Glad that you were able to catch him...and save yourself some embarassment :)
lol as soon as I read your door knob description I knew where you were going with this. :) Glad you were able to stop him from opening the door. lol
wow!!!! i sure am glad you were able to stop mid stream and lightening fast grab cooper before he swung that door open!!!!;-)
good job!
lol I can totally picture it! You poor thing, I would have peed all over myself I promise you that lol
that is hilarious and terrible all at the same time. i'm surprised you didn't pee on yourself!!!
and i am 22 weeks and had sharp rib pain this week that had me freaking out (first baby) but i think he was shifting positions b/c now the kicking is in different places but theres most definitely kicking!
i am rolling! i would have died! but you did better than me.. there's no way i wouldn't have peed all over myself!!
Hilarious post! Glad you caught him in time! Thanks for sharing.
good control...i would have pee'd myself
