Have you ever had to pee so bad?

Have you ever had to pee so bad that you cried like a child in the waiting room of the dr's office? I HAVE! Wednesday was a very exciting and wonderful day for us to find out that our baby is healthy so far and is a little girl, but finding this out came at the serious breakdown of Sylvia's mommy. You have to have a full bladder for the first part of this ultrasound so that they can see the things they need to see and measure. The instructions say to drink 32 oz water w/in the hour prior to the visit. Well, I wasn't sure I would be able to drink the full 32 oz w/in the hour of the visit since I was leaving from work to the visit, so I just steadily drank water through out my morning without relieving myself, figuring this would work the same as the 32 oz in an hour. Well, it worked way way way too good. As we were waiting for them to call my name the urge to pee was becoming more and more urgent. (It does not help my dr's waiting room has a waterfall running! This is not a joke...they really do!) At first Allen and I were laughing about it, hahaha, drank too much water. As the minutes ticked by the humor was completely lost on me, when I realized I had to go pee worse than any time in my whole life that I can remember. It was painful, and I became quite certain that I wasn't going to make it, but I knew I had to make it or they wouldn't be able to check what they needed to check. So I held it , and held it, annnd held it. Allen kept asking me if I was going to be ok? Then he switched from asking me if I was going to be ok, because the answer each time was NO!, to telling me, "You're gonna be alright." Then they started calling people back into the ultrasound rooms that got there a long time after me. I really started to lose it. I turned into what I can only describe as a waiting room monster. They were 20 minutes late and my bladder was over an hour WAY too full. I started to cry...Allen told me, "Don't cry!" I snapped, "Don't be tired!" (He hadn't been to bed yet.) I started to sweat and feel lightheaded. I just knew I was going to pass out in the waiting room on my big ultrasound day and pee all over their floor. I began to think that perhaps I had the wrong appointment time, that maybe instead of 9:15 it was actually 9:45. I went to the front desk to confirm my time and was told 9:15 was correct, they were just running a little behind. I started to ask how far behind but couldn't hardly breathe and I was crying so, I opened my mouth to ask how far behind, but what came out of my mouth was, "Can we check to see when they are going to get me in because I am going to pee my pants." The girl said I will see what they can do, and sure enough two minutes later it was my turn. It's a good thing too, because I honestly believe if I had to wait even five more minutes, I would have had to reschedule that appointment. It was definately a memorable day in the waiting room!
