I traveled to Alabama for work to learn about Radiological Hazards through FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security. Well when you are pregnant they will not allow you to participate in getting dressed for all the trainings. I actually had to sign something with the Department of Homeland Security saying that I would contact them when the baby is born. It was hard for my classmates to not know I was throwing up. In class on average I would get sick about 15 times per day. It was awful, if I ate or drank anything it would just come back up. My instructor for the coarse bought me crackers and Gatorade to make me feel better. Since I couldn't dress out for any of the hands on exercises I was always Safety officer or team leader which is a ton of work. We were team Alpha, but we called ourselves Team Awesome. 
While I was in Alabama I seemed to get very swollen and my baby bump was awfully big for only being 7 weeks. 
The class joked and called me Octomom...they were sure that there was more than one baby because of how big I was. The last day of class the entire class gave me a congrats card with an envelope full of money for the baby. These people had known me for a week! It was amazing to see other peoples kindness. All I could do was cry. It was one of the kindest things anyone has ever done for me.
