Gross edition of: You Know You're a Mom When...

...you have to take a spoon to scrape off the thick layer of peas and carrot infused vomit that your daughter has flattened onto her bedsheet by sleeping on it all night.

Re: Gross edition of: You Know You're a Mom When...

  • Good times! 

    I knew I was a mom when...my son couldn't digest breast milk or most formulas so until we found the right combo for him the doctor had me weighing his poop and I was diagramming the amount of blood in each movement.  Yep, no lie!

  • I was a nervous wreck, he was so little.  Now once in a while he will start some poop banter and he gets so gross and it is so freakin' funny!  I still have the notebook I used to document his eating, pooping and the bloody stool charts.  I should pull them out this weekend and show him.

    True, but then you turn on Sesame Street and they see Big Bird and they get their eyes get all huge, they get the BIGGEST smile on their face and look as you like, "Momma? Thanks for making my life SO awesome! "

    ...all the gross stuff become a far off memory :)

  • You know you are a momma when..... Your baby has not pooped in 5 days and is visibly uncomfortable, fussy and not sleeping as a result and prune juice has not worked and...... Your doctor tells you to "stem" her with KY and a thermometer. And you do it. Visual cue: Volcano!

  • ...you rush your DD to a public bathroom and discover that she had an upset tummy and did #2 in her underwear/clothes and you now have to clean her up as best as you can.

    Mines along the same lines as Malia's ....

    When I was having issues with my milk supply we supplimented Elyse with formula in the evenings for 3 nights.  As a result she wasn't able to poop for 4 days (she normally poops three times a day).  Yesterday while I was out she FINALLY was able to poop.  It was disgusting and down both her legs to her toes.  But I was BEYOND happy that she was finally able to poop.  Poor little bean was hurting so much! 

    I texted Russ to let him know she had pooped and he texted back "so this is what our life has come to.. texting about poop".

    (Evil laugh) Hee hee hee hee hee

    These are the things that no one tells you!! ;-)

    But as long as you have a healthy baby, they are nothing. Easy peasy!
