Two nights ago I noticed that Brea was rubbing her nose... I thought to myself "well that's odd" and asked Brea if I could look at her nose. I got the flashlight and tried to lay her on the floor to have a look-see and that was enough for her, she got up and ran as fast as she could to her room. I then went and got the nose sucky just to make sure that there was nothing in her nose. I pinned her down and did the nose sucky thing and it seemed that the nostril was clear. Late that same night I could hear that she was breathing kind of funny and again at nap time the next day. When Elton got home from work last night I told him about her nose and he attempted to have a peek... again Brea was not having it. At bedtime Brea had one runny nostril and again I thought that was super odd and again in the night she was breathing kind of funny and was restless in her sleep. So this morning I call the Pediatrician to see if we could get an appointment. We were in luck... We got to the doctors office and were called right back to the exam room... love it when happens... the nurse had to do Brea's vitals and one would think that we were killing her. The doctor came in a few minutes later... and at this point let me just add the the doctor is two weeks away from having her baby... so you have two pregnant people trying to hold down the strongest 2 year old I have ever seen just to get a peek in her nose. We decide that we need reinforcement and call back in the nurse to help. Now we have 2 pregnant ladies and a nurse trying to hold Brea down... still not working very well. The three of us take a moment to let Brea calm down and thought we might have to get Dr. Neil to come in and help. We tried one more time with just the three of us. Dr. Rachael holding Brea's head, nurse Lindsay basically laying over Brea's arms and torso... and I got the kicking feet.... turns out that yes in did there was something up her nose. What is it you ask..... cotton.... like stuffing from one of her stuffed animals... maybe... not 100% sure. So the lesson we learned today is:

1. Brea is super strong

2. Two 9 month pregnant women are basically worthless at almost everything

3. And as a mom you have to trust you first instinct

and

4. You just never know what you find in your two year olds nose
