Motherhood Karma

You know when you were little your momma used to say, she couldn't wait til you had kids of your own so you'd get a dose of your own medicine.   Well, my turn is now.  All those wonderful things I put my mom through when I was a kid, I am now having the joy of going through on the other side as a mama.  OY!  Craziness is I remember doing all these stuff, so I know it's Karma.  I know it! 

Today, I am feeding NA trying my best to get everyone dressed and out the house so we could go to church.  Em was dressed, we just had to get NA fed and dressed and we'd be on our way.   EM is playing on the floor in front of me while I'm feeding his brother.  He's doing magic.  :)  I won't tell you his magician secrets, but he was making a coin disappear.  All of a sudden he gets real still and starts whimpering.  I'm thinking he's bit his tongue because he was concentrating so hard on his magic trick.  "What's wrong, EM?"  "Did you bite your tongue."  EM shakes his head, then starts crying.  Well what happened?  "I swallowed it."  Ummm, what?  you swallowed what, your tongue?  Please tell me you didn't swallow that coin.  "Did you swallow the coin?"  EM nods his head, then the waterworks really start like in the cartoons with his head tilted back and the tears shooting out the sides.  Oh boy.  Old me would have said "Eh, what goes in comes out. No worries."  But since becoming a mother, other mothers like to tell me about the trauma their kids go though when it's a normally benign situation.  So I've got all these stories from other mamas floating in my head.  I calmly pack up the kid (and the ipad - incase there's  a long wait, mama's gotta be prepared) and head off to the hospital, to "get some pictures made."  I'm a nervous wreck.  EM is just skipping along asking if there is wi-fi so he can watch a movie.  LOL  That should have been my first sign.  We get in, the Dr. "takes the pictures" and we discover that the coin has made it's way to his tummy.  Whoop!  No we just wait for him to make change on the toilet and we're good to go.  Karma is a - - - - -!
