Things I have learned in the last day and a half:
1: Rest Stop bathrooms were designed for people who are 4’9″ and can pee faster than a speeding bullet. Extremely pregnant people (apparently) cannot a) get off the toilet without cursing a blue streak or b) pee fast enough for the automatic flusher to go off fewer than 4 times during the process of an attempt (in case you’re wondering, which I’m pretty sure you weren’t, this did happen and I did eventually give up, wash my hands and go back to the car, non-emptied bladder and all).
2: Taking a toddler to a midwife appointment, even a quickie one, is not advisable. I ended up with the highest blood pressure reading of my life after my son decided that opening the door to the hall while I was in the process of attempting to pee in a cup was an excellent idea. Let’s just say there was yelling and I’m glad I had disinfectant wipes in my purse.
Oy vey.
