What are the odds?

Oh how life changes when you are a mom. Before I had Ryan I used to get dressed and choose my outfit based on my mood, the weather, how cute I felt like being etc. This morning I found myself choosing my outfit based on the odds of getting thrown up on. WHAT?! I almost put on a cute sweater then thought to myself, "What are the odds of him throwing up again? Pretty darn good and I DO NOT want throw up on my cute sweater." So, I grabbed a plain, red long sleeved t-shirt and my jeans that really need to be washed, but I think maybe one more wear is ok. So far I haven't gotten "slimed" or thrown up on and maybe I could have worn my sweater, but the day is not over and I am not taking any chances.

Good thing I didn't wear my sweater! As I was putting Ryan to bed I got barfed on again. Phew, at least it was a very washable red t-shirt. I actually prefer the barf on me rather than the carpet or my nice new rocking chair. This RSV thing is crazy. Not only do you have to worry about them breathing, but also about the throwing up and making sure they are eating enough and getting enough fluids. I hope we will be through it soon. Going to the hospital everyday for suction is getting a bit old, and I feel so bad because it's so miserable for my little munchkin. Ahhh...such is the life.

Hahaha!! I do the same thing. I also find that I'll put something on and look down and it's been slimed on from the last time I wore it and I guess I didn't notice because I put it back in my closet!

Oh man, we have all been there! I hope he gets feeling better soon!

It was so, so, so good to catch up with you!

I'm SO SO sorry! Poor guy - what a sick boy! I have to admit though that I laughed on your reasoning for your wardrobe choices. But think of it this way - at least you got dressed for the day! Some of us don't make it that far!

I hope Ryan feels better soon. Before I put on earrings in the morning I think, "If the baby pulls on this will my ears bleed?"
