Rosie just threw up... in her sleep... all over her crib... I got her out of the crib, into new jammies, changed the sheets, took out her blankies, gave her a new binky and put her back to bed. As I cleaned it up quickly, trying to not wake her up too much, I kept thinking, "There should be a law against pregnant women cleaning up barf!"
Fortunately, there's not.
Fortunately??? YES. FORTUNATELY. Fortunately it is MY resposiblity to clean up the throw up of my 17 month old, and NOT someone else's.
I think positive thinking is the majority of the battle, especially while being a mommy.
Sorry, I have to go. Rosie is crying again. :)

A Mommy's Headache
I think that I have gone to bed with a headache for the past 6 months and 6 days. I call it the Mommy Headache. I decided to name this consistent occurrence to help me keep perspective. Yes, my head may feel like a pressure cooker, but the dull pain comes from the most wonderful work in the world. How much sweeter is a Mommy Headache over no headache at all? No headache would mean no diapers, no spit-up, no mess, no pumping, and no babies. If a headache at the end of the day is the price I pay for my life, call me the happiest sufferer in the world.
