First paranoid moment as a Mom!

My first paranoid mother moment:
I still don't think this is all that funny (more embarrassing), however, Shon thinks it's pretty comical, and makes sure everyone that comes over to visit hears about Landri's 'brain tumor'! oi!  So i better go ahead and let the world know. ;-P
Landri had been projectile vomiting in the mornings, i mean projectile!...just like the movies!  The first time she did it, I put my hand up to block it, and it shot back in her face, THAT's how projectile it was...whoopsy.   So anyway, she did it again 5 days later, but i had brushed it off as, she was just drinking too fast.  I'd also read (that's my problem, I'm one to 'self-diagnose') that she could have just had a big air bubble and it all came back up with it.. ok, no big deal..  Then i read in another chapter of the book that vomiting only in the morning, is not normal 'morning sickness', and could possibly be a brain tumor, ie, water on the brain, IF also there is a soft bulge on her head that doesn't seem to be disappearing!  Well, let me tell you, she DOES have a soft bulging spot on her head, that doesn't seem to be going anywhere, she's had it since birth and is not where her soft spot is..  Oh yeah, the tears came flowing, i freaked out...my baby has a brain tumor! ...but she seemed so perfect!  After i thought i had gained composure, i call Shon, and immediately start balling again, i could barely read from the book.  To appease me, he agreed i should call the doctor.   After talking on the phone with the Dr. Assistant, i realize how silly i may sound.  But she wanted me to bring her in, so she could feel the 'bulge'.  She was aware of it, but wanted to check it out.
Well, come to find out...if there is indeed water on the brain, it is actually where the soft spot is, so what she has isn't even related. Whew!  What her bulge is, is a hematoma from her head being stuck in the birth canal...and it is actually shrinking in size (i hadn't really noticed, since i feel it everyday).
So, long over-dramatic story short...Landri is still perfect, no brain tumor!  ;-)   And i'm happy to report, she hasn't thrown up since...i just don't let her suck it down as if she-hasn't-eaten-in-days.  Landri is what doctors catagorize her as a "baracuda" feeder!...which leads into the next post..
