After a long week of multiple hospital visits, crying and medication I awoke this morning feeling much better. I jumped into a much needed shower and cleaned away past bandage adhesive from many IV's, that gel from ultrasounds and baby monitors and washed off the general dismay of the past 6 days.I hopped out, feeling a sense of renewal. Today was going to be better. Today would be a great day.
I happily squeezed some minty toothpaste from the tube onto my toothbrush and began to scrub my teeth to a polished clean. When all of the sudden.....ACK!
My toothbrush had an overwhelming chemical taste on it. I immediately threw up into the sink (what else is a pregnant woman to do at that point?) and when I took assessment of the bathroom counter, I noticed for the first time the can of Comet Bleach cleanser on the counter top with distinctive bristle marks on the top of the can. And then I saw the cloudy spot on the mirror when circular motions had spread that cleanser in an attempt to "clean".
Yes, my girls made an attempt my life.
By poisoning my toothbrush with Comet Scrub.
Do you think a few body guards are in order?

what's going on with the wee babe, emilie? everything ok now? how scary to have to be in the hospital while pregnant! thinking of you.
Ha! Kids are precious aren't they?!
Hope everything is well with you and the baby.
AHH! Well, at least they were trying to help right?
yikes, not the way to start the day. hope everything is okay. hospital stays are not fun. and seriously, now that I consider it, I cannot think of any household good that would be worse than comet on a toothbrush. bodyguards are definitely in order.
NO! oh gross. so glad you didn't die, friend.
