Today is Mother’s Day in Mexico, since they go by the date (May 10) not the day (Sunday) like we do here. I bet that leads to a lot less “is it this weekend or next??” panics too.

At work I got documents emailed to me from Mexico like I do every Thursday, but this email said, good morning to me by name followed by, “Happy mothers day, congratulations.”

Congratulations?? Do they know something I don’t, I wondered?

Last week I noticed for a few days I was experiencing what could be symptoms of pregnancy… or diabetes… (specifically being hungry all the time, tired all the time, and having to pee a lot.) I just had my blood sugar checked at my annual exam so I’m good there, but I’m still on the pill so that one is pretty unlikely as well. I considered getting a pregnancy test to be sure, but I’d just be disappointed at the negative result.

After today however I almost feel like the universe is telling me to grab a dollar store test.

More proof to the universe that I am ready – I found there is a visual guide to baby poop. Yes really – it has pictures from various phases (newborn, starting solids, etc) so you know what normal looks like.

I had no problem looking at it, while eating dinner even.

But I thought the ‘healthy breastfed poop’ picture looked like curry.

Also, still not crazy yet. Excepting previous line about curry anyway.
