New Year's Eve was a special sort of night for the Crosland family.
Prepare yourself for total grossoutness. Make sure you haven't just eaten. Clear your nose and passage way so that your gag reflex won't take over.
This is a worm. This 8 inch worm was found in Maggie's diaper as I went to change her after her nap. It was still alive and wiggling.
I FREAKED OUT.

Lucky for us we have a Doctor in our Ward. I called up Dr. Evans and explained my dilemma. His voice displayed way too much enthusiasm about my ordeal. Here is what he said.....
"Was it all in one piece?" (yes)
"Was it still alive?" (yes)
"Do you still have it?" (yes)
"Can I come over and see it?"
His excitement did give me hope that Maggie wasn't about to be taken over by night crawlers. This is when I said, "we'll come to you". We all got our pajamas on and went over to his house bearing one special gift.
We are all on some five day deworming pill. I've requested a "no flush zone" in our home so that I can inspect every one's poop. Mike is not obeying this new law. So far we're all clear, even Maggie.
She likely ingested this as an egg over four months ago and it has been growing inside of her.
Sweet dreams dear friends. I wish you sweet dreams.

Oh my. Sick! But I'm glad you are all okay!
oh. my. heck. that is so incredibly disgusting I can't handle it. I gotta stop thinking about it. post something else quick so I can come back later.
You sure it's not from eating all that gum? You have such an exciting life.
HOLY SICKNESS!! That is AMAZINGLY disgusting! You are a TRUE mommy blogger now! Ha ha ha ha... laughing at how sick that is, but mostly at the doc's response. Glad you're all in the clear so far.
Hi Kimber! Tami was telling me about this and I had to come see for myself! That is the grossest thing ever! I would totally have freaked out too!! Now I'm thinking of all the possible worms my family might have...yuck!
woooow that is amazingly gross! i think i would throw up. reminds me of a gross story [just remember you opened yourself up for return stories. ha :)] we had a friend go surfing and cut his foot on some coral reef. he had this bump on his foot after that which wasn't going away until one day, out crawled this ugly sea slug thingy. NO JOKE. that story also brings me nigh until vomiting.
Hat is freaky and super gross! Glad you're all okay so far. How exactly do you eat a worm egg??
This is crazy! I had a similiar experience with my dog once but would not have even known where to start if it had happened to Avery! Glad you are all doing well!
holy freaking crap...that is the sickest thing i've ever seen!!! i'm DYING!!!! I'm glad everyone else is worm free!!!! holy smokes...can't handle it
SERIOUSLY?!? Ewwww, you habndled it perfectly though. No one copped to simply putting the worm in her diaper? NUTS.
Moe's new nickname is WORM--you will so be able to embarrass her when she is older.
Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. This one left me speechless...with my mouth wide open I might add.
And it must not have eaten too, too much in the last four months, she still has the most squishable cheeks that side of the Mississippi (okay, just wanted to still see if I could spell that.;)
EW EW EW! That grosses me out and totally FREAKS MY FREAK!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhh! I may NEVER sleep again! AHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!
you definitely freaked my freak. you freaked jason's freak too and i didn't even show him the pictures. i must say you have amazing presence of mind - i most likely would have started shrieking "KILL IT! KILL IT!" had that happened to me.
I am speechless. wow. oh my. truly unbelievable.
Okay, we had pin worm once. That was disgusting, but they are the size of a pin not a night crawler!!!! You freaked my freak for sure.
ok, kimber! what's up with you and all things gross? TMI girl! TMI! :)
seriously, i think i would have died if i were you!
wow!!!! I have no response to that...wow!!!
That is so disgusting!!!! I told Jeremy about the worm and his response was similar to the doctors. He wanted to see the pictures. When he saw them he just laughed. Must be something about working in the medical field. I'm with you though, I would have freaked out.
I will now look inside all diapers with MUCH fear. Poor Maggie...and Momma.
Oh sick. What kind of worm is it? How could she have ingested a worm egg? Oh sick.
WOW, you officially freaked me out. I think I will have nightmare for days to come! Poor Maggie:(
That is CRAZY! Wow! I can't believe it!
That truly is so very gross! I can't imagine discovering that! EEEWW, and I've see a lot, but EEEWW!
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!!! That is way too gross for words.. I have the same questions as everybody else, no one put it in her diaper? She really ate an egg? Where? How? This is so weird.... You have the best stories though.. :)
OK already!!! Post something else!!!
You blog is not making happy pictures in my mind about your family right now. There has to be something exciting going on in Fauqiur County. Ha
What the?????????? I didn't even know that could happen! wow. I can't wait to tell Paul. I'm pretty sure he doesn't know about this or he would have told me.
