Puke, Poops & Doctors OH MY!

Fancy title eh? *sigh* Well I was really stoked to sleep in today since I had my 30week appt after lunch......usually they are in the morning, so I have to wake up "early" (like 8am or so LOL) to get ready and all hehehe
Roman was up late last night, so he was sure to sleep in too.....perfect

6:30am - Roman wakes up in his crib and is screaming for me. I feel bad and want to continue sleeping, so I go get him. He tosses and turns in my bed and keeps asking for his water. He's drinking his water blah blah. Then he starts whining because he's hungry.....typical Roman. I swear the child has a tapeworm lately and as soon as his eyes open he wants to eat. So I ask him if he wants some cheese (string cheese) to tie him til breakfast. He says yes, so I get out of bed.....go downstairs......get cheese out of the fridge.......go back upstairs. The light in my room isn't on, but I can see from the night lights in our bathroom and hallway that he is sitting straight up in the bed crying.........and I SMELL it *gag* You guessed it..........he puked ALL OVER my bed! *sigh*

So he's freaking out cause he has puked......I gently tell him it's OK, no big deal and I'm stripping my sheets and blanket. The only 'backup' sheets I have are the CRAP OLA-100 thread count-you can practically see through sheets that came with my bedding set. So at 7am I'm attempting to put these sheets on only to find that the pockets aren't big enough to accommodate my ginormously thick Tempurpedic mattress *sigh* Oh well, I had to put something on there......

We laid in bed as Roman writhed whining until we fell asleep again. The phone rang and after I hung up, he sat up again a puked the juice and crackers he had eaten......luckily I was more prepared and had a towel to catch it *shudder*

I don't have a problem with bodily fluids. Blood, pee, poop, spit, what have you.......but vomit my friends......whew.......that is a TOUGH one for me to deal with. PLUS being pregnant with this heightened sense of smell.....MERCY! I give myself major props and pats on the back when I deal with things like this. It totally skives me out :\

So after the 2nd puke incident, I decided to go ahead and get up to shower for my doctor appt. That went fabulous. I put on 1lb in 2 weeks, my blood pressure was 122/70 and the results of my glucose tolerance test were perfect. He actually was surprised the results were so good considering how out of whack my 1 hour test results were. So, yeah me! LOL I have my next appt and u/s on April 1st.....yes April Fools Day LOL

After running a few errands I went home to the sick house. Thankfully Roman hadn't puked again. He waited to do that for dad while I was at our niece's 16th birthday party this evening. So I missed that action......thank goodness! But I did get to change a major liquid poo diaper awhile ago.....ugh. But I'd take a few of those over the puke mess ANY DAY!

So that was my day in a nutshell. Not exactly what I was hoping to blog about, but alas it is my life LOL

Here's to hoping my diligence in hand washing will prevent this mess from passing to me, and to you and yours staying healthy!
