kid's puke (sorry, gross)
Let me preface by saying that I have a weak stomach, I can't donate blood, I gag when I see or smell puke, spit, or any other bodily functions. My mom always told me that I wouldn't mind my own kids puke. Well, she's wrong. Abby started to slow down this afternoon and get awfully cuddly. oh boy did I know something was up. A few minutes later she crawled to the floor and hurled everywhere. all over the couch, carpet, etc. Tim walked in as I was running her to the kitchen. And, no, Mom, I DO mind my own kid's puke. Tim is on puke duty from now on.

Re: kid's puke (sorry, gross)
Ugh, I so don't want to deal with this. This post already sent me close to the ede, but we all know how I feel about vomiting.
I do feel for Abby though, imagining that poor little thing being sick
Not fair!
I don't gross out too easily but puke is gross no matter whose it is. Last week when Helen was throwing up all day, I minded it greatly. It smells bad and it's difficult to clean.
Also, there's a difference between baby spit-up and kid puke. Spit-up isn't that bad. I remember once holding out my hand to catch Helen's spit up so it wouldn't hit the floor! Puke is a whole different ball game.
Poor Mommy and Abby!
I have a stomach that goes back and forth being weak and strong. Somethings are easy to take and some things send me over the edge. I could deal much better with clean up than listening to it happen.
Yeah, James had his first real illness last week and it was our initiation into middle of the night puke brigade. It was... miserable.
{super gross warning}
He had already been awake once or maybe twice, so it was my turn to go in. I dragged him out of the corner and said something comforing and gave him his pacifier. Then I sensed something wet. I thought it was a tear or drool pile... until I put my hand in it, felt it was significant, and then took a whiff. Yeah... horrible. AND I had dragged his head through it, making the already messy face/ hair worse.
It was all hands on deck and Adam barely held it together. After holding my long haired hippy hubby's hair on a few over-indulgent evenings, I've gotten better with puke. So I was on cuddle patrol and he did the less invasive sheet stripping.
We were VERY happy it just lasted from 3 to 4:30 AM. I'm not looking forward to the next instance or when it is even messier. You gotta' deal with a lot as a parent, no lie.
I am so so so sorry, but this made me laugh hysterically. I'm exactly the same way!!! I can handle puke and other bodily functions, but my kids puke makes me gag. I just cannot deal with it. Spit up is one thing, but full on vomit makes me boot
awww poor Jess and Abby.. I am pretty OK with it now, but if I hear a puke, it makes me want to puke, but cleaning up and all that I am fine...
Hopefully Abby is feeling better, the boys got sick last year and had to be on pedialyte for like 3 days and I think the Pedialyte puke was the worst!
