Well That Was Fun - NOT

This part was fun:

I submitted the picture of the boys blowing on the dandelion to Multiples and More as a picture of the month. You don't get anything if you win, but I love that picture so I thought I'd go for it. If you have a minute and want to vote, here's the link:

This part was not fun:

Here was my Facebook status from around 6 pm this evening:


So, if he *maybe* swallowed something small and white, but is acting OK (if not annoyed at us for pestering him), it should be fine to just watching him, right?

We don't know for sure what it was or even if he actually swallowed something...what would you do?


Does that tell you how our evening went? lol.

It seems our Mr. Jack swallowed his first...something.** We were not even sure exactly what it was, although I was fairly certain it wasn't poisonous or hazardous. All I knew was that Isaac thought it was white, although that could have been his teeth. Sigh. Vague was the key term of the night, for sure.

Anyway, we did eventually decide Jack did swallow something. He did a few funny throat clearing episodes, but he acted and ate totally fine all evening.

Someone who isn't me may have been concerned enough to think a possible emergency trip was warranted at first. Thanks to some wise, knowledgeable friends, we decided in the end to just keep watch and play it by ear tonight. That decision was made a bit easier because we have our Angelcare Monitor to rely on while we sleep. (I love that thing!)

Unfortunately, even after all of the drama tonight, the boy has apparently not yet learned his lesson. We still spent a lot of time taking other stuff out of his mouth. Sigh. He is going to make us gray.



**Of course, this is the first something that we know of. It could quite possibly be that the boy has been swallowing junk for months and this was the first time we've almost/maybe saw him!

Oh the joys of parenthood. Seems that if he is acting okay that he probably is. Just what you wanted to do though, examining poo!
