We’ve been taking Hunter to the doctor regularly for weight checks because he was throwing up so much and losing weight. We went today for yet another check (in which he was right on track!) I was removing his clothing and informing the nurse that he was doing a lot better with throwing up.
Kara: He’s doing so much better (removing his onesie) he’s not gaining a whole lot of weight in his legs, (holding his legs) they’re still bird-like.
Nurse: Well, take a look at his mom and you can see that it probably runs in the family.
Kara: (Speechless…crickets…and more crickets.)
I tried my darndest to come up with something clever, but I failed miserably. Evidently, I just wasn’t on my A-game!
Wow…I don't think I would have thought that was funny at the time, but for you to not have a comment to shoot right back…I'm amazed!! But I have to say…I did laugh out loud!!
Kara. That is awesome. And to be honest, it's not like she was wrong.. hah… At least now I know that I'm not the only one to think that. I will forever thank that nurse for making me laugh.. extremely hard!
love you.
Hey look at the bright side, at least you weren't commenting on how chubby his legs are. And at least she knew you were his mom. I had a tech once ask where Zack's mom was…"um, you're talking to her." One of the funniest moments.
glad to hear that he is getting right on track. do they know what the problem is yet? Wow… pretty gutsy of the nurse to say something like that.
Hi. I was referred to your blog by Shawni. I saw her girls' initial necklaces on her blog and asked where she got them. She told me that you make some really cute ones. I am just looking for one for my daughter. Is that something you do? Feel free to comment on my blog or email me at [email protected]. Thanks so much!
