Nosebleeds

Remember when I posted that the nosebleeds were gone? Turns out that was just temporary. And today was the big day, the day I had long dreaded....
my first PUBLIC nosebleed.



i guess i knew it was coming eventually. i had a lunch appointment with one of my brides at frank & angie's pizza. about two minutes before she arrived, my nose started bleeding. i couldn't rush to the restroom because i was holding our table and had my laptop already set-up (not easy to grab, with my purse, while holding my bleeding nose). luckily, after yesterday's bloody nose in the car, i remembered to put some more tissues in my purse! she arrived and immediately asked "are you ok???"

how embarrassing!!!

"yeah.... but i'm going to run to the restroom."

and most people don't know that pregnancy can cause nose bleeds so then i feel compelled to explain .... i just dont want them thinking i snort coke or something!
and now i'm always afraid to sneeze or even TOUCH my nose.

ugh. 16 wk appt tomorrow - will definitely see if my dr has any recs. i've been getting at least one nosebleed every single day! and, with only one or two rare exceptions, it's always my left nostril.

ah well. at least it's better than nausea....
