The gagging woes of a pregnant mother

I really don't get too sick when I am pregnant, besides a few icky days now and then. However, I have a terrible gag reflex and gag about 20 times a day over various things that really aren't that bad. There are some things that I just really can't handle, like cleaning out moldy leftovers in the fridge, toileting "issues" and throw up.
A couple weeks ago the toilet needed some serious plunging and as I tried, I could not stop gagging. Emma was watching nervously, just waiting for me to lose it. I just couldn't take it and I had to run into the other bathroom to throw up. As I was in there I heard the other toilet flush and thought, "well, I'm sure that will overflow and I'll have an even bigger mess!" I yelled to Emma, "Did you just flush that toilet?!?" She came around the corner and said, "Yeah, but I plunged it first and everything went down!" Oh, my sweet three year old saved the day!
Then today Landon is sick. He doesn't have a fever, but a really sour stomach and so I stayed home from Sacrament with him and Richard will come trade me. Well, Landon started throwing up in his bowl (a lot) and I came over to rub his back and tell him it was OK. But of course, I couldn't stop gagging. I was holding a blanket over my mouth and trying to comfort him. Even while the poor kid was throwing up he could see that I was having a hard time. Right in the middle of it all he said, "I got it mom, you go to the toilet." Poor, sweet kid. I ran in and threw up too. This happened again a few minutes later. Moms are supposed to comfort their kids, not empathize by joining in! I felt so bad. I'm sure glad I have understanding kids who love me even when I am a pathetic gagging fool!
