Knots

My stomach was in such a knot this morning.  I've been pushing this to the far back of my head for the past several weeks, but this morning I went to have my second pre-cancerous mole removed. 

Let's go back about 15 years.   Boy would I do things differently!  Baking in the sun all day- no way!  Not using sunscreen when baking in the sun all day- absolutely not!  Tanning beds- forget it!  And it's not that my mom didn't warn me.  She did.  I was so vain. 

I hope my girls have more sense than I did.  As of now, they don't step foot in the sun without sunscreen or hats.  They both are going to be prone to these skin issues with their fair skin, blue eyes, blonde hair.  And that scares me.  But I also wonder about these sunscreens full of chemicals.  We use natural as much as possible.  But have you tried these lotions?  Forget trying to apply it when you are in a hurry.  They don't rub in well.  And the worst part about them is that they run into the babies' eyes a lot easier.  Then you're dealing with a crying, screaming, miserable child for the rest of the day.  Super fun.  So we kinda use a mix of lotions.  Can anyone recommend a more natural lotion that they actually like?  I'm willing to try pretty much anything!

But back to this morning.  Jane was with her nana so I took Molly with me.  I think that helped ease my nerves because of the distraction of  her being there.   And once I was in the office, I wasn't even sure why I was so nervous to begin with.  Off the mole went.  I'll probably not be completely at ease until these results come back from the biopsy, but for now, the knots are gone. 

Moral of this story- use sunscreen.  Don't be vain.  Someday you'll have babies depending on you.

You just keep rockin' that hat baby girl.
