The Dreaded. . .

I love being a mom! Since I was a wee child, I've looked forward to motherhood. Thoughts of dirty diapers and screaming babies never bothered me. There was only one thing that I always dreaded about motherhood, and it happened today. . . My baby puked. Uugghh!! Even typing the word makes my stomach churn a little. I'm really glad that John got the brunt of it. He was with her when it happened. I just had the privilege of sharing in the clean-up. I would like to give a little shout-out to OxyClean. Due to the unfortunate combination of this stomach virus and the berries I mixed with her oatmeal this morning, I got to test whether or not OxyClean lives up to the commercials. (It does. . .thank you, Billy Mays!) So far, we've only had the one episode with the puking (uugghh!!), but she's been running fever and just generally upset all day. She's down now, hopefully for the night. And, hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day!
