why did we name you exxon?

so when i first found out i was pregnant i was having this weird feeling inside me. when i would sleep, eat, poo poo, didnt matter....the feeling was there. this feeling plagued me from the time the pee stick changed until about 2 weeks later. i did everything to try and make it go away. i would rub oh so gently on my skin, which progressed to rubbing a bit more aggressive, which let to gentle upper cut punches....lol....KIDDING! but the feeling was so constant it was becoming numbing to the touch. literally it was so intense inside that it was making the outside skin in that area feel numb to the touch.

ok...the feeling was what i first described as a buzzing. it almost felt like a locust was stuck inside my gut on my right side between my ribs and my hip bone. BUZZZZZZ......BUZZZZ......BUZZZZZ
constant.
when i told marco how i thought we were pregnant with a locust he asked if it felt like it was drilling and perhaps the locust was drilling like the ooil rigs in the ocean. that story progressed into perhaps we actually have an oil rig in there drilling for a good spot in utero for good blood. that i better be careful taht the rig doesnt overturn and spill like the recent oil rig "the exxon valdez"
thus the name....baby exxon valdez :)
the drilling has since stopped but our young E.Valdez will remain.
i think it has a romantic ring to it...at least compared to the locust story.
"mommy...why is my nickname LOCUST?"---see what i mean?
