In which shopping almost kills me

Today my mother in law volunteered to watch the kids so I could go run some errands and meet Neil for a valentines day lunch. After scoring some seriously cute stuff for John. (Yes- I bought my baby a cute little cap and suede fur lined boots.... and a sweater and another pair of shoes- we all know newborns really need shoes) Then amidst my spree at Janie and Jack something weird happened. All of the sudden I couldn't see out of my left eye. I thought, "This is strange" but I wasn't about to be stopped from my shopping by a little thing like blindness so I set out to barnes and noble. But then while I was driving to DSW my left hand went numb for like 15 minutes then my gums started feeling like pins and needles and my tongue went numb too. Weird, no? At this point I figured I might be having a stroke or something crazy so I pulled over and parked. After a while the symptoms went away but has anyone else had something like that happen? One of my friends said similar things have happened to her before she gets really bad migraines but I don't think I have a migraine. Anyway I am having some people over for lunch on Friday and I am planning to make the downstairs look like V-Day exploded all over it. Pictures to come. Now if I could just settle on a menu.
PS: I have now lost 27 lbs since having the baby :) Too bad I went crazy at red lobster and probably put 3 lbs back on :(

That baby looks just like Dad. Just gel his hair into that weird little curl
