We are officially moved.
We are also officially lost in a tornado of boxes.
"Where is *this*?" is pretty much the most-used saying in our house right now. We have the spare bathroom downstairs completed, my office is closer (computer is up - that's all that matters, right?), Aryn's room just needs decorations, and our kitchen is slowly beginning to look more like a kitchen rather than a landfill.
And the television. Ryan's prized possession is the huge built-in shelving unit in our living room.
We are so grateful for our new home!! I just can't wait until it feels more like a home instead of a stress-inducing mess.
So on moving day, which was Tuesday, we got up bright and early and started the last of the packing and moving. I took down all the photos in Aryn's bedroom, and placed each picture nail on the change table beside her bed. Rush rush rush. Then at 8:30am I put Aryn down for a nap. She tried to fight it, but she eventually fell asleep. At 9:30 I heard her call out for me - she's awake!! I go in there and there are nails EVERYWHERE. I mean, everywhere - in her crib. I quickly grab them all, cursing every awful word I know in my head. I look at Aryn and she's sucking on something.
I open her mouth and lo and behold... a nail. I tried to grab it but she pulled her head away and then...
*gulp*
She swallowed that darn nail!! I stood there in complete shock, praying praying praying that she wouldn't start to choke. Thankfully, my mom was there and she stayed very calm while I cried and freaked out and I am fairly certain if she had let me, I'd have sprouted wings and flown us to the hospital.
3 x-rays and 2 days later... we had us a nail in a big pile of poop that I had to sift through.
So it's been a very stressful, crazy week. And I'm VERY grateful that my sweet little love nugget is ok and healthy. Thank you, God!!
Oh my god! I wondered how you knew she swallowed the nail! I would have been freaking out too!!! Thank the lord Aryn passed the nail without it puncturing her insides!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad Aryn did not get hurt as that moved through her little body, God is good!
