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.

Anonymous said...: 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!; May 26, 2009 at 1:31 PM
Nadia said...: Yes you have officially crossed over ;). Fun times!; May 26, 2009 at 2:22 PM
karen said...: 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; May 26, 2009 at 4:59 PM

Amanda said...: Also included in the right of passage is being peed & pooped on too!; May 26, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Desiree said...: Spit, poop, pee! You name it -- I've had it happen!; May 26, 2009 at 10:29 PM
Unknown said...: I shouldn't laugh because I'll be next, but it happened to my husband but not yet to me. Hee!; May 26, 2009 at 11:02 PM
Desiree said...: I should have known better than to hold a full baby above my head by her belly -- silly mama!; May 26, 2009 at 11:35 PM
Jen at Semantically driven said...: 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.; May 27, 2009 at 2:52 AM
Shelly said...: Ha ha! What's worse is when that happens and you have your mouth open!; May 27, 2009 at 8:51 AM
Desiree said...: Note: my mouth was a little bit open ;); May 27, 2009 at 8:59 AM
Rebecca said...: 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...; May 27, 2009 at 6:18 PM
