Am I truly a lady now that I've gotten my ears pierced? I still can't cross my legs properly and hold a fork and spoon without food flinging all over the place. But I'm getting there people. I had no clue what was in store for me today and neither did mommy. She had been wanting to get my ears pierced while I was young, she'd talked to a few other mommies who had gotten their baby's ears pierced younger than me. The younger the better they said, so they wouldn't pick at the ears. Mommy was talking to my nanny who said her mom got her ears done at one week! Crazy I know. Not like coming through that birth canal was a piece of cake and to top it off with elective surgery?
After some deliberation and searching online for a good place, and checking with Daddy, Mommy and nanny took me to the jeweler. They picked out a nice surgical steel backed pearl to prevent infection. The whole thing took less than 5 minutes. I cried during the piercing and then a minute after. But once I had my binky, all was better. After my nap, it was like nothing had happened. I'm amazed my hands (which want to get into everything these days) haven't ventured to my ears. I don't even notice them! I have to keep them in for at least 8 weeks and clean them twice a day.
I can't wait to upgrade to diamond studs! (just kidding, mama).
