Surgeon Mommy

I have some of the best friends on earth. Smart, talented friends with a lot of compassion for this creative soul who always procrastinates when it comes to her medical needs.
One of those friends performed surgery on me while having me lean over her granite with a baby on her hip today. When the stitches proved to be "unfriendly" she decided to lay the baby down so she could use a fine-tip needle, mind you, in the background is a dog barking for her attention, a toddler expressing his excitement, and of course the phone starts ringing.
Considering that she did bone harvesting and numerous other surgeries pre-kids, I was confident in her ability to stay cool under some serious pressure. She proved valiant, and I left with a sterilized area and a sweet band-aid as a reminder of the momentous occasion.
THANK YOU, Surgeon Mommy Christy, for proving that talent lies just below the surface of the spit up stained badge of honor that drapes across your shoulder!
