On A Good Day I Usually Smell At Least A Little Bit Like Spit Up

Today is no exception.

Earlier this morning Ryan was attending an information session up at the college about going back to school in September and I was entertaining Gretchen. I'd just finished feeding her & was trying to make her laugh, when I had a serious lapse in parental judgment & lifted her high above my head.

She laughed hysterically for a moment and then spewed forth an intense quantity of milk all over my face, my hair, my purse, my shirt, the chair, the floor & the sling.

Ryan couldn't help but burst out laughing before handing me a blanket to clean myself.

I believe this is one of those rites of passage that all new mamas must conquer. Now I'm officially a Parent.

Unfortunately I never had that rite of passage... or maybe fortunately! My babies rarely or never spit up, so I felt pretty fortunate. But I think Noodle would have been less colicky if he'd spit up once in awhile!

Yes you have officially crossed over ;). Fun times!

Ummm...not sure if I should tell you this, but just wait until you get barfed on. It's been my experience (lucky me) that my kids always barf on me, not their dad. I think it's because I'm the one comforting them and holding them when it happens.

Your baby is so darn adorable, I'm sure she was instantly forgiven. LOL

Hahaha, I probably shouldn't have, but I laughed when I read this. :) I guess this is one of the joys of being a Mama? :)

Also included in the right of passage is being peed & pooped on too!

Desiree Fawn said...

Spit, poop, pee! You name it -- I've had it happen!

I shouldn't laugh because I'll be next, but it happened to my husband but not yet to me. Hee!

I should have known better than to hold a full baby above my head by her belly -- silly mama!

My son threw up so much on me I nearly always had a towel on my shoulder just for him. Thank goodness he grew out of it.

Shelly said...

Ha ha! What's worse is when that happens and you have your mouth open!

Desiree Fawn said...

Note: my mouth was a little bit open ;)

I wear the new mommy perfume everyday - eau de barf

My kids don't spew, but both spit up after feedings, I suspect because they are gluttons and just eat and eat...
