Life With Frenchie

MM has been growing and developing by leaps and bounds! EP and I have already started developing a master plan for scaring off the boys, just in case. With this in mind, everytime she says “Mom! Come here, I need you…” I fear the worst.

Today, the worst finally happened - she took the final step in development! For one time in my life, I actually hoped MM was sick, or had some infection. No such luck it seems. Dr. says he’ll run a few more tests to see if she may have an infection but he thinks this is it.

Dr. asked if she had learned about puberty and all that goes with it. She’s been faithfully reading her book, but they haven’t gone over it in school yet; that’s Monday. I’m not joking. Now that FCATs are over, the kids go right into learning about their bodies and the changes happening.

I’m not prepared for this! I want my baby back!!!!

Is this post the cyberspace equivalent of pulling out naked baby pictures to show to all my friends and embarrassing her??

EP was explaining to me that when you lose certain parts of your hearing, you “hear” a certain tone…or something like that. At any rate, I didn’t believe him because he’s not exactly known for being the most truthful person with his “facts”. I figured, let’s go to WebMD and see what it has to say about hearing loss. Our search didn’t turn up much of anything, so EP said to look up cilia, which he thought were the nerves in your ear. Um, yeah - turns out cilia are in your lungs. Not helping EP’s case much here. Since WebMD was not exactly giving us what we were looking for, we found a site that showed us the anatomy of the ear. We found all kinds of things that are inside your ear and each time we hit something we thought might be what EP was talking about. Finally, we landed on ossicles. Seemed like that might be close to what he was thinking.

Back to WebMD.

Type ossicles in the search box.

And this is what I got:

You say “Vajayjay” and I say “Vagina” …or would that be “Vulva”?

I’m still laughing!! I’m not quite sure what one has to do with the other, but it was an interesting read. Seriously, it talks about how the term “vajayjay” supposedly came about. Apparently it was on an episode of Grey’s Anatomy when Dr. Bailey was giving birth. I have watched that show maybe 2 times..ever….and that’s one of the 2 episodes I saw, but of course I don’t remember her saying it. So that leads me into another thought - is that really where the term first came about?? I know I’ve seen it used elsewhere, but I can’t say whether or not it was before or after that episode. I could easily look it up, but I’m so far off track from my original mission that I don’t need to be distracted any further!

Oh, and I still think EP’s full of it!
