Induction into Parenthood

Oi
My poor carpet has seen better weeks. Last night, Emmett was moving all over the place during naked tummy time. He is teething like nobodies business so we decided to give him some Tylenol before bed. As Eric was trying to get him to take Tylenol (he has discovered how to shake his head no and clench his mouth...not awesome)he vomited all over me. Pears, apples, rice cereal, cheerios, cheese, etc... all over me. Emmett's crying and a mess, I'm soaked in chuncky throw up, and the carpet is drenched . We put Emmett back in the tub. I stripped down and Eric threw my stuff in the washer. Emmett ended up being fine. He slept threw the night. Although, I'm still picking pear chunks out of my carpet

Fast forward two hours later when I am getting ready for bed. I was looking for my cell phone. We couldn't find it anywhere until I realized it had been in my pocket all day. We ran out to the washing machine. Sure enough my cell phone was in the bottom of the machine. Urg... We let it air out and it worked til noon. PS you will not be able to get a hold of me until I get a new one.

Jump ahead to morning. I went to get Emmett this morning. Side bar...he has been constipated since he started whole milk this week. We've been feeding him prunes to try to get him to go. Anyway, I went to get him this morning and he was soaked in poop. His diaper was so full with mush it over flowed up to his armpits. It was beyond nasty. At least this incident was contained to the changing table and crib. The crappy part (literally)was that we couldn't get the stink off of him.

I feel like we've truly been inducted into the joys of parenthood this week with all of the bodily fluids and what not this week. (Teething has also been a thorn in my side). My washing machine has been working over time and nerves have been frazzled. I've heard stories about children and all the nastiness that comes out of them. Well, I've now joined the club. I honestly didn't think it would happen to us. Boy I was naive. O well. Welcome to puke and poop, Allison.

Fun times! Ah, bodily functions. But they are somehow less disgusting when they come from your kid aren't they? This was too funny. Glad to hear you guys are doing well.
