Sympathy Illness??

Well today, I am 8 weeks and 2 days. I have had a bit of nausea, but nothing to really complain about. I keep crackers and water at my desk (and in my car) at all times, which seems to do the trick when I start feeling bad.

This morning, Michael and I were getting ready for work. After being up for about 15 minutes, I had gotten out of the shower, and Michael said..."well, I guess thats what they meant by "sympathy illness"". I was totally clueless in what he was talking about. After a couple seconds, I asked what he meant. He said he had gotten sick this morning. I didn't believe him at first, but he said he ran to the kitchen because he didn't want me to see or hear it and then make me sick. I guess they say (this was the first time I had heard of it), that the spouse sometimes will get sick out of sympathy for the wife. Poor thing! He felt fine as we finished getting dressed. I felt soo bad, but thought it was just a little funny :) He's been such a great partner with all this!
