Big Boogers


Sooooo......I went to University of Utah hospital with Ian and Libby the other day to get the names of the nurses who took care of me last year during TJ's birth so I could write a thank you letter and give it to them on Saturday. Anyway......I am standing at the desk in medical records waiting for them to find something. There are two people on the other side of the desk and I look down at Libby because I realize she is squatting in front of me. I say "what" to her and she (very loudly) says EWWWWWW mommy you have a big booger in your nose. So what do you do? I just laughed wiped my nose with as much dignity as I possibly could and said thanks for announcing that sweetheart.


I had to go to the birth center to do some work the other day and we had one of our prenatal groups in session. I walk into the family room where they are showing a film about water birth, and the women in the film is just about to have the baby. Ian's eyes almost bugged out of his head, he says "what is wrong with that lady". I told him that she was having a baby and that it kind of hurts and thats why she was making those noises. The midwife places her hands on the baby's head as it emerges and Ian says again, "what is she doing to her and what is coming out of her body" So I tell him the baby is being born, and that the midwife is helping the mommy catch her baby. He looks up at me and says "mommy, I don't want you to have your baby like that, I want you to have surgery and get it out of your tummy"


Today we went to pick up Alex and Joseph from a summer camp program that the Utah National Guard has for kids. We are sitting on the bleachers watching a small program that they have put together and Ian walks up and says "its hot" (very loudly) I'LL JUST SIT IN THE SHADE UNDER YOUR BIG BELLY.


Wow, and they wonder why women are depressed and don't feel sexy, how could you with kids that can talk.
