Okay folks I am going to tell you a secret. I have a new obsession. It’s kind of sick, but I just can’t seem to help myself. I am obsessed with things that come out of my son’s body. Mainly earwax and boogers. For example, I check his ears every day while he is nursing so imagine my surprise when one day I found a ball of ear wax the size of a Roly Poly! It wasn’t in there the day before, but there it was, blocking his whole ear hole. I am pretty sure his hearing will be delayed because of the massive obstruction. And don’t get me started on the boogers! Sweet Jesus some of these boogers must reach all the way back into his frontal lobe they are so long and big. Just this morning he had what I thought was a small little ‘hanger’ dangling down in front, but when I started using the nose sucker I realized we were not dealing with anything small. The extraction practically turned into a surgery and I think the final product was at least an inch and a half long. I was gagging and mesmerized all at the same time. So now every morning and every night I am relentlessly probing my son’s nasal cavity and ear holes with q-tips and a sucker thingy wondering with trepidation and anticipation what I might find next. Gross, I know, but I can’t seem to help myself.

Welcome to motherhood
So true.....you are now a MOMMY!!! I always check Jacks' nose and ears, I dont want anyone to see the Cutest Little Boy of 2007 with stuff in his nose or ears.
**Note Jack has the title of "Cutest Little Boy" for 2007, he has passed it on to Case for the 2008 title.
Hi-larious! I have to say I also have the ear wax obsession..although not quite as bad. The booger obsession, not so much. It's quite amazing the amount of "stuff" that can come out of such a small body.
I can't even imagine the trials and tribulations of mucus in a little one's nose or wax in the ears. You are definitely a mother. I'm not and the whole idea of little ones' bodily fluids freaks me out a little.
Not to be the Debbie Downer of motherhood, but please don't use q-tips in his little ears. My speech pathologist friend who works with kids getting cochlear implants says nothing that small should ever get close to the ear canal. Well, I'm Debbie Downer. Sorry.
