Mommin' It Up!

Solve this medical mystery for me

Sunday night, I was in bed trying to go to sleep, when I started to feel dizzy and nauseous. I tried to sleep and hoped it would pass, but no such luck… I ended up praying to the porcelain gods, if you will. Then I was fine.

But here’s the weird part… the same thing happened to me in St. Louis exactly a month before, on July 3rd.

That night I blamed it on the jalapenos (it was a day before that big announcement, so I figured it was a touch of food poisoning), but Sunday night I didn’t eat anything weird at all, and Andy ate the same things I did. Perhaps it was the Flintstone vitamin, I don’t know. It just seems like a really strange coincidence that the same thing happened two months in a row. Could it be hormonal? I guess, although I am still happily period-free from nursing.

I guess I will put this post in the “over sharing” category, but I am perplexed! Any theories??? And who thinks I had better watch out for September 3? Yikes!

Hey Mom! I was Saving that for Later!

Yesterday roundabout 8 a.m. when I changed my daughter’s overnight diaper, I got a little surprise, and it wasn’t of the poopy variety. She had been playing outside just before bed and was up late so I just put her to bed in what she had on, which was a one-piece romper thingie that snapped at the crotch. When I unfastened the snaps, out rolled a big ol’ ROCK! This rock, in fact:

It’s kind of hard to tell from the photo, but it’s about an inch long and maybe 1/2 an inch wide. And probably real comfortable to have up in your hoo-hah when you’re trying to sleep all night!

A few hours later, I laid her down to change her diaper after lunch and this time when I unfastened her snaps, six or seven CHEERIOS (which she had eaten for breakfast) fell out! Sheesh! Did I give birth to a human or a squirrel? Is it time to store up for winter, Soph? Are you worried I’m gonna stop feeding you? (Note: this is not likely since I’ve been breastfeeding you for TWENTY FREAKIN’ MONTHS!!)

Ah, my crazy daughter. She’s like Napoleon Dynamite puttin’ tater tots in his pants pocket. (Hey Sophie, give me your tots!) I guess ya never know when a Cheerios craving is going to hit! Better safe than sorry. That’s the Sophie way!
