After trying acupuncture for my nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP) on Wednesday I have been feeling... different. I cried a bit during the appointment and it felt like some blockage was breaking up and being let out. Since then I have been crying a lot randomly and getting irrationally upset; for example I almost had a coronary last night over the fact that Sonic made my weeklong awaited Hot Fudge Sundae with freakin' chocolate syrup (which I HATE). My episodes of sickness have also become more mild but occur just as frequently (and thus are a bit more random and hard to see coming), which is what brings us to today.
I bought a new dress and a slip for it on Tuesday. I couldn't decide between pink and green but ended up going with the green one. I wanted the pink one so badly that my mom and dad offered to buy it for me; I just had to have the store look up the proprietary credit card and put it onto their account. We did that last night after tracking the pink dress down once more (over 2 stores) and I went home to wash it in order to wear it today. Luckily I also washed the green one, though it won't be apparent until later why that was lucky.
I got up today and was only a little sick. I started to feel better after a half hour and got ready, putting on my new dress with my new shoes and a leopard print cardigan. Some of my work gal pals told me I looked "so cute" in a little dress with my belly bump and I felt really good. I went to go get a burger at lunch and started to feel nauseous once I left with my to-go order. I sat and dealt with it a couple of times and thought it was over. I started down the road and it hit me like a ton of bricks, only this time I couldn't pull over and deal with it... I grabbed the emergency puke-towel in the car but it did no good; my poor dress, hair and sweater took it all. This was secretly fabulous because none of it got on the interior of the car.
I was only a block from work so I finished the drive, parked and called my boss to tell him what was going on. I After that I called one of my work friends to come and help me. Luckily she was already outside and came right over. She took my lunch and put it in the fridge while I went to the restrooms and tried to salvage my outfit in vain. She came to check on me and my dress was just not going to work. This was secretly fabulous because I ended up having to go home and change... into the green one! I also cleaned my hair out and had some cereal. I got back to work in time to stay for about an hour and a half; I have my first appointment with my backup doctor today.
So all in all, sparing any horrific details, I can say that today I got to wear both my new dresses, see my animals at lunch, and go back to work in time to leave again. What a Secretly Fabulous Friday!
Stumble it!

Oh my goodness what a great recap! Especially loved the secretly fabulous perspective. Hope the nausea subsides soon. So unfair it's going on for so long.
I'm so sorry to hear that you got sick and couldn't wear the pink dress, but I'm glad you were able to switch into the green one instead. I hope you're having a good weekend and doing well, hon!
Way to turn it around! I didn't know whether to laugh or stare in horror while I was reading this. I mean, I *guess* I'm happy for your two-dresses-in-one-day story?? hahah, so, so sorry you are still sick, hon. That is really not fair.
Also, funny thing is, I read your post a few days ago but didn't comment yet. And I thought, I can't imagine that happening to me. Guess what happened to me this Saturday??? Yep, had to go home and change.
Oh my goodness your optimism is fabulous! I'm sure you were miserable at the time, but I love that you were able to see the bigger picture and not let it bring you down - and that you were able to wear both dresses (totally adorable by the way) Such a shame you're still dealing with sickness - it'll all be over and worth it so soon!
