Secondhand Breakfast

Braving the rain and keeping LittleBear dry

This month’s NewThing was baby throw up. On Friday we went to Chapel at my AlmaMater for homecoming and during the talk he decided to throw up alllllll over me, the ergo, and himself. I ran to the bathroom and he was still retching. I was covered in throw up… shirt, pants, and down my shirt. He was soaked… pants, onsie, and bib. And the ergo has some pooled in it. Gross. I stripped him in the bathroom and  paper toweled him off. This is a college chapel and not made for babies. No changing table or easily reachable towels. Students were coming in and put using the bathroom and a couple offered to help but there really wasn’t anything people could do. So now BabyA is naked to the diaper and his clothes are balled on the counter next to all sorts of throw up drips. And he starts baby shivering. It’s cold outside, and had been pouring for an hour. So I have naked baby, and a handful of all the stuff he threw up on and my bag and coat were still in the chapel. Ugh. So I left the gross outside the doors and ran into to get my things with the baby. Some lady looked at me like a terrible mom because its 50 degrees and he’s naked. Ugh. I wrapped him in my coat and bundled him near my chest so we could dash through the rain to the car and head home. I had to take him out of the coat in the car and hes baby catatonic and still shivering while I buckled him in. I got in (still soaked in throwup) and cranked up the heat. Which made a lovely aroma. BabyA spent the ride home staring at nothing huddled in the coat. I spent the ride home breathing through my mouth and praying he wasn’t going to throw up again in the car. We made it home and both of us changed and spent the day cuddling and him having liquids only. He never threw up again and I was paranoid why he was sick… I finally figured out it was from having a runny nose for 3 days… he had been swallowing the phlegm and it made him sick and he threw up all the boogers in his stomach. Thank goodness it wasn’t the flu. He spent the rest of the day snuggling with me and the fuzzy blanket.

Fastfoward to Monday and he is still a little sick (slight fever all weekend) but it’s all stayed down (fever and stomah contents)

All the rain made beautiful clouds.. we NEVER see those here!

Found this bad boy at a thrift shop for $2!!! ($30 online!)

Aaaaaaand BabyA is no longer interested in nursing. He has turned his head and cried the last three times I have tried. Minus the early morning first feeding.. that he will take. Everything else makes him mad/cry. Unless its daddy with a bottle. Ugh. 10 months. It was a good run :(I am more sad about this than I should be I guess. It will really open up my free time. I wont have to be home at certain times to feed him if Daddy can do it. 

Lastly. BabyA doesn't want to nap. Now that his royal highness can stand up he will do so immediately and stay standing and crying for the full nap time. At the right angle he can use the closet mirrors to see into our room and watch for me. which means in the morning when he wakes and stands he can see me in bed still and scream at me until I rescue him. No bueno. Child nap. come on.
