At all. And even hearing the "v" word for that makes me run the other way. Even if I hear it, it makes me sick. It's bad. So when S got sick in December with the stomach virus, I couldn't believe that I didn't pass out, AND I was able to clean him and everything else up. I didn't gag or anything! But when I got it two days later, I was in hysterics. To the point where Doug had to ask me on the phone "Do I need to hang up and call 911?!" Yeah, not my best moment. <br /><br />(And when we were both down with it simultaneously earlier this month and Doug was traveling, I totally called my Mommy crying. And then my sister-in-law... who dropped everything to come help.)Christine @ 12,450miles https://www.blogger.com/profile/06593782429987800305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394089008210300670.post-12492787574171587672011-03-14T20:27:55.957-04:002011-03-14T20:27:55.957-04:00You earned your mommy wings on this one.

As in changed-my-shirt-six-times kind of puke. The whole time all I cared about was doing whatever I could to make my little boy feel better...while I tried not to worry about what the heck was wrong with him. Eventually, it stopped...and we've had several more puke-fests around here...but that first one...scared me the most...and made me realize: I can do this mom stuff...puke and all! <br /><br />Know what? I blogged about it too...and even took a pic (of the laundry on the line...not the puke, euwwwww). http://myseoulsearching.blogspot.com/2009/10/6-shirts-3-pairs-of-pants-3-sets-of.htmlJanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13696325791099123617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394089008210300670.post-26964101225708236302011-03-09T16:02:34.064-05:002011-03-09T16:02:34.064-05:00Couldn't agree more with your stance on puke. ...Couldn't agree more with your stance on puke. Somehow it's a lot easier when it's your baby. Daniel has christened us well with puke, unfortunately. He has an easy gag reflex and can almost puke on cue. As well, he was baby who'd cry till he puked. Lovely. At our house, we're just thrilled if he does it away from the carpet or his bed.

I take the pukey kid for bathtime, he gets to clean it up out of the rug and sheets, etc. ;) I can feel bad for my kid but I am still totally grossed out by puke (especially the smell of it) and it makes me dry heave to smell it too much so bathtime I can handle but sheets - yuck! Unfortunately Ella's overnight major episode of puking last week, I had let Brian off duty at 11 and I got to do it all. Yuck!!! But I still felt bad for her and gave her lots of hugs and kisses. <br /><br />So glad CB is feeling better. He's adorable!

With three before our adoption I was a puke warrior- we've mastered our technique- the outdoor furniture cushions covered in waterproof pads stretched out on the bathroom floor with "the bowl". But then there was that time 11 years ago we had fish sticks and broccoli for dinner.

The last time I threw up was after food poisoning when I was a senior in high school. I was SO PROUD of my streak. And then, this past winter, I got this horrible 24-hour bug and lost it. One measly little barf, and I, too, was in tears. I seriously do everything in my power to prevent puking. It's horrible.<br />But about your poor son... way to GO, mama! Way to dig deep and find that SuperMama strength to get through something so yucky.<br />And I'm very relieved to hear he's feeling better :)Elizabeth Frickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04369568911391997731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394089008210300670.post-50783800670839496872011-03-06T21:13:15.652-05:002011-03-06T21:13:15.652-05:00oh you are the best momma ever!! i have to laugh a...oh you are the best momma ever!! i have to laugh at cb's vomit being the cutest. lol! that's true love. i adore those pictures of him!! tooo ca-ute! oh and i have to share a story about vomit...our very first year of being married, ben picked me up from work one day feeling really bad. we were walking down our apartment hallway, he fell on top of me. both of us landed on the ground because he passed out. i got him into the apartment and he ran to the bathroom and puked all over the walls, sink, floor, tub..every where but the toilet. he had eaten...bad sausage. really gross right? it was..trust me because i had to clean it up. it was the worst thing i've ever had to do...but i did it for b. he never gets sick. gross i know..but had to share! hehe.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12517916631002936500noreply@blogger.com
