My 10-month-old son took his very first little step yesterday. He's not quite walking yet, but I can hardly wait until he does.
At 25 pounds, he is so heavy to carry around... he actually cause me a health scare!
I kept feeling this weird little sensation on the right side of my chest. In the upper *** area.
Hypochondriac that I am, the first thing that I thought was... 'Oh no, a blocked artery!'
I ran to the doctor... gave her some inflated description of my symptoms. She hooked me up to an electrocardiogram. All was normal.
"But it feels weird!" I wailed. So she sent me off to a cardiologist.
The cardiologist ran some tests, all of which came back normal.
Long story short... he told me my problem sounded like muscle spasms.
"Do you lift weights?" he asked.
"No," I said. "The only thing I carry around is my son."
And then it hit me. And I felt really dumb.
I am so out of shape... my muscles are so lax... that carrying around my 10-month-old in my right arm caused me to strain a chest muscle.
So health scare over... thank God!
But it just may be time to get to the gym...
