so this is my 100th post!
i'm honestly proud of myself for making it this far, never thought i would.
i've been finding that blogging is relaxing and it's been a journal for me and i love that i can put lotsa pics up for my family and friends to see.
it's helped me to be a better typer as well cuz i really SUCKED before.
so being a momentous occasion and my child is currently sleeping (he sleeps 3-4 hours at a time but yet those naps seem to fly by fast) i thought i'd take this post to tell you something about my son.
something that not many people know about.
DUN DUN DUN!
when everton was born was getting all that amniotic crap sucked out of his lungs on the table, brett noticed that everton was making a fist with his left hand, holding his thumb inside his fist. but yet there was ANOTHER thumb sticking out.
YUP everton has 6 fingers on one hand.
you know how much i'm obsessed with x-men, so i guess my body decided to grow my own mutant.
no big deal really. the pediatrician says it's actually a common thing and can easily be taken care of (as in, chop that thang off!)
his surgery is set for middle of june. poor baby, i'm not looking forward to hearing him in pain as he recovers, but i'll be here to provide him with lots of milk and cuddles.
but for now, he has 3 thumbs to choose from to suck on, he could beat me at thumb war, and if he likes something, he could give it 3 thumbs up!
and that's his mutant power.
i hope he'll think later in life how hardcore it is that he used to have 6 fingers on one hand.
cuz i think my son is pretty hardcore.
everton is also 3 weeks today!
and don't judge me for writing about my son's slight birth defect. again this has become a journal for me and i thought this would be something to look back on.
The title of your post cracks me up!
ReplyDeletethat is crazy!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so crazy! Not something you see every day, but it makes him very special. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and good luck with the surgery! :(
ReplyDeleteyou're so funny! that is so interesting. i'm glad that it can be fixed.
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! Not everyone can say that they had 6 fingers once! Yeah that would suck to see your baby have to have surgery. At least he has a great mama to take care of him!

ReplyDeletewe were just talking about mutants... - dane
No freaking way, that is so awesome!! Didja know I actually prayed that Vincent would have an extra toe like I did? I think my prayer got a little jumbled and misfiled up there, 'cause it ended up being an extra finger...and on your baby, not mine! Good luck with the surgery! (And make sure you take lots of pictures of it, we only have 1 picture of my extra toe, so if we lose it, I have no proof and people think I'm lying!) =)
ReplyDeletesurgeries on your baby is hard to go through, but better to do while little, and you will never regret it. it will be all over before you know it! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so interesting! Wow. He and Benji could start a Infant Mutant Ninja Humans series or something because ya know... it has to do with... (whispers) "Nipple".
ReplyDeleteok I love X-men my how family does, that is why we named our first son Logan. But glad it can be removed and it is something he can remember and use for icebreakers, right? good luck with surgery.
