I always told my mother she worried way too much. Now as a mother myself I see why. Its like a switch that can’t be shut off when you have kids. As per my last post, our family celebrated my nephews 13th birthday and his Bar Mitzvah. I spent the 3 days preceeding the party worrying about my LO’s and hoping they wouldn’t get sick. DS3.5 is in preschool with kids always catching something, and of course if he does, baby T will catch it from him. My worry started with, well you’ll never guess…poop. Thats right, baby T all of a sudden was pooping a different colour. All I can say was I got so paranoid with worry! It took calling my doc, my brother in law (who’s a doc), a group on facebook and some friends to calm me down about the colour of his poop and that it was normal. I swear if it wasn’t my kids getting sick, it was me making myself sick!! Luckily, the poop went back to normal with no other affects or symptoms and the party day arrived and kids were all healthy. Phew! Granted it was a week later that DS3.5 came home from school early with fever and spent 48 hours sick with a fever and cold. Better late than never right? 🙁
