I don't have skin cancer on my nipple and other updates.

So, a few weeks ago I found this black mole inside of a freckle on my nipple. I freaked out and called a dermatologist to have it checked out.

Neil: I think it's trauma to your nipple.

Me: What?! How does a nipple get traumatized? I haven't breastfed in a couple of months.

Neil: Um, yeeeah.

Two days later

Dermatologist: Looks like it's trauma. I'm just going to scrape it off. If it grows back as a mole then we'll be concerned. But. It looks like trauma.

Me: Ok, thanks.

Later that day

Neil: How'd the appointment go?

Me: Ok, you were right. It was trauma to my nipple.

Neil: See. I should've been a doctor.

Me: Um, yeah, except you didn't go to medical school and possess 30 years of experience in dermatology.

Other update: The cloth diapers came in. And I just made homemade deodorant disks using baking soda and tangerine essential oil. I'll be hugging my tree in the backyard tomorrow morning while frolicking barefoot in the dandelions.

Other other update: Austin has been babbling so much that I asked my mom if maybe there was something wrong with him. She said no, it's probably because I talk to him all day long (who else do I have to talk to?) He'll look at me like he's trying to get a point across then pause for me to answer. It's funny.

Poor Jack, I never talk to him. Maybe that is why he only makes weird gurgling noises...

The deodorant disk is for the diaper pail for the cloth diapers to get rid of the inevitable stench.

I saw the new huggies pure and natural at Target and thought about getting them. I like Seventh Generation because they're pretty responsible about where they source their materials for products.
