Check Me Out Baby

Okay honestly, I love these pictures. They totally make me laugh and this whole experience was all of seven hours ago.
Story: Being a sweet loving mother, I was blowing up balloons for my kids and friends to play with. After blowing up four balloons my mouth started to hurt and I felt like I had a canker sore. Then my eye started to itch and I just kept scratching and scratching.
My girlfriend Sumer told me to stop scratching and go and wash my hands. I didn't see what the big deal was but she was the one staring at my face. I guess maybe I am allergic to latex. I've never really had an allergic reaction before but it was kind of fun. I couldn't stop staring at myself. ( I know you're thinking "what's new?" ) Doesn't it totally remind you of the movie Hitch?

Oh and YES, I will be counting all three of these pictures toward my yearly goal.
Count em 8,9 &10-52

Oh my that is pretty funny. Definitely having "Hitch" flashbacks. Hope it just looks funny and doesn't hurt. Also hope that it goes away soon! Thanks for sharing.

YIKES! I'm glad your friend was there to stop you before it got worse. Are you taking Benadryl tonight?!
p.s. those are AWESOME pictures! :)

I'm sorry I am laughing right now, but, thankgoodness, sounds like things are under control. Let your dentist know because they probably wear latex gloves.

Is this the first time you've blown up balloons???

Holy crap Kimber! Crazy funny pics but know that nurse aubry is freaking out right now! We used all sorts of latex stuff on you when you had Mags! You could have made life real exciting.
Well, get yourself some benedryl and a straw and get ready for the sleep of your life.

Is this the first time you've ever blown up a balloon, or is this a new allergy? How long did your eye stay like that?

Anjeanette said...

That is too funny. My whole face does that when i come in contact with Tide detergent. Nice to see someone else's face like that. That is great...love that you took pictures of it.

I just want to scratch that for you, ouch! I'll have to admit that is stinking hilarious. Now, probably not so much then.

Well, sister of mine, I get a random eye swelling twice a year. It looks just like what you got. I have a hard time believing it's just latex. But I'm definitely allergic to something. I'll watch out next time I blow up a balloon.

Great pics, Kimber. I'm glad you're doing the 52 pictures thing. When I started reading your blog I had to go through page, after page, after page to find just ONE picture of you!

Tara said...

NO WAY!!!! You are brave. I have been having the exact same issue when it rains (weird). Any time it rains my eye itches and I rub it--in no time it is swollen shut and lasts for several days. Chris calls me a pirate.

I can't figure out why it happens though, and I can't stop scratching!

Use an ice pack to help the swelling.

OUCH! That makes my eyes water to just look at those pictures!!

Danielle said...

Hitch is one of my favorite movies. That is hilarious. Did you have to take some benedryl?

Unknown said...

You Look Marvelous! Fun for you, I guess, in a weird way.

Those pics crack me up! Sorry to laugh at your expense, but from the sounds of it, I can guess you're OK with that. What a great photo! Love it!
