August 11th, 2008 - So I am not proud, however I am a little amazed with myself. I was taking the beautiful tomatoes from our garden and cooking them down into sauce. To this day I am still unsure what I did or how it happened but I REALLY burned my belly. Johnno was in the attic working on the air conditioner and I was in the kitchen. When it happened I screamed bloody murder. He of course could not hear me. I ran upstairs and told him I needed his help and that there was sauce all over the kitchen and on the stove. I did not want it to cause a fire. I then jumped in the shower and was trying to run cold water over the burn. For the first time ever, I could not get the water cold enough. Johnno had no clue what was happening. He saw the tomato sauce on me and thought I was bleeding. When I got out of the shower I of course called my mom and my midwife. I used ice packs and a stalk of aloe to try and ease the pain. Mom felt terrible but of course could not do much from Florida. She reassured me that Baby J was okay and she offered many suggestions. The midwife said I could take some Tylenol but I really was not interested. Don't get me wrong, I was in pain, but I was afried of what it may due to the baby. I took a picture of my belly and sent it to Jonathan. He texted back "Haha. It says no." I of course did not find it funny. He thought I had gotten a little sun burn from the day before. Once I explained to him I actually burned myself with sauce he felt terrible. After I was completely healed I talked to a firefighter and they explained to me that some of the areas of the burn were actually 3rd degree burns.
