Pregnant women don't sleep well. Even on cots...no matter how comfortable they were last summer. Pregnant women feel every slope - especially if the cot is going down hill. The smell of the woods and camp food - are not as pleasant when you are still experiencing some morning sickness! Morning bacon....yuck!
And then......there is the camp bathroom. I don't remember it being such a walk. Camping and pregnancy 101 - wear pads!!! camping and pregnancy 102 - sleep with tissue paper, hand sanitizer and the flashlight because you are not going to make it to the camp bathroom all 3 times you wake up in the middle of the night. You tighten those muscles the best you can, un-zip the tent and run to the nearest bush! (Remember to check and make sure your dog is still in the tent when you return, as you did not have time to zip the tent shut while running to pee and he may have escaped!!)
So funny story - The second night, sometime early in the morning, Dave awoke to pee. Desperate myself, I was excited to get to pee in the woods with my husband. I love unique bonding experiences! It was lighter outside then I expected, and Dave was going a little farther into the brush and trees. I wanted to follow and have that bonding experience, but I was not going to make it any further. So I ran to the nearest bush, a few feet from the tent and let go! Ahhh....Instant relief! It was then i heard a car door slam and realized our neighbors at the camp next door were already up, and I was in plain sight!
Normally i would be embarrassed that I had just exposed myself, but I could only laugh. Hey - I was glad I made it out of the tent!
