Oliver is sick. He has had a fever and has thrown up 3 times. And each time he throws up he has thrown up on me. The first time was by complete surprise; it came out of nowhere. We were sitting on the couch and he was eating some cheese and then, BARF, the contents of his stomach where all over Oliver, the couch and me. It was gross but I was more concerned with how my little guy was doing.
The second time we were sitting on the couch and out of nowhere, BARF! This time most of the stomach contents ended up on his PJs and our couch blanket. But it was gross as digested food and stomach acid is always gross and will always be gross no matter how you slice it or dice it.
But the third time was last night. Oliver was painfully crying in his crib so Adam and I decided it best for Oliver to sleep with us. He was moaning and crying and he just looked so pathetic. After an hour of our little guy squirming and moaning and weeping he starts gagging and is about to throw up. I turn on the light and scoop him up into my arms as he begins to throw up all over my shirt. Again, it was gross and really I should have learned my lesson not to hold a baby who is throwing up.
Still, I can't help but think that they are only shirts and they can be washed and the joy of comforting my son is worth the price of being puked on.

I know it is only shirts and they need comfort, but man puke stinks!!!! I hope the little french boy feels better soon.
i blame it on the stomach acid. man does our body stink or what?
For those of us with sensitive noses it really DOES cause a problem! But, you're right, the Mommy side kicks in and we just want to make it alright. You are such a good Mom, Britany!
i hate that smell. blech. stank. i hope ollie is all better now.
i still have yet to be puked on. Well, I was puked on when they were infants, but not since then thankfully! you are a trooper!!
it reminds me of Jesus and how he could have healed lepers and unclean people from afar, but instead, he TOUCHED them. There is no better way to show love than to touch/hug/cradle someone when they are at their stinkiest, muckiest, dirtiest. We Moms have this one pretty much nailed. :)
I hope your boy is feeling much better!
What a great life parable Jamie had! How's the Oliver man doing now?
