Today is Monday.
My day began with spit up.
My day ended with spit up.
When I woke up this morning to the sound of my son's crying I thought to myself, self it is now 6am and I'm still tired, but I can't wait to lift this beautiful face up for a kiss. I went to the bassinet next to my bed (which by the way is a Fisher Price Rock and Play Sleeper and I highly recommend it) and I lifted my lovely son to my chest for some morning cuddle time. Instantly as I pull him towards my body I get covered in baby puke. I'm talking covered here. The kind of covered that you have to change all of your clothing, his clothing, his blankets, and while you're at it might as well get that diaper done too.
After I cleaned up the disaster that used to be my comfortable (yeah right) pajamas, I fed the little guy and you can probably guess where that leads...yes, more spit up.
So the day went fairly well with good naps and a happy every two hour eating schedule.
About the end of my day (by which I mean the part of it I spend alone) I was doing some chest to chest tummy time with LAD (my son's initials) and ended up with a shirt covered in spit up. The sticky disgusting kind that gets all over and can't really be wiped off without just starting over and changing everyone's clothes again.
Needless to say I still did not shower today so when the hubbie got home I wrote this blog, and finally took my much deserved shower (UPDATE: Did not get to shower because someone woke up and decided they just HAD to eat and there was no waiting about it.) and got out of the spit up infested outfit I was still wearing when he got home.
Eventually I will shower and have taco night, watch the bachelor, and hopefully a have relaxing night interrupted only by constant need to feed a hungry newborn boy.
I hope you enjoy my new mommy blog. Hope it brings you humor and joy. And I bet you know exactly what I'm talking about in the never ending battle of spit up, and begging for a shower.
Very good Rachel...You're very blessed indeed..Debbie Bennett
