One of the many ways being a mom has changed me

I hate barf. I cannot stand barf. I cannot stand to see it, smell it, hear it...yuck. I can't watch it on TV. When I am sick, I literally lay on the bathroom floor saying (loudly), "No, no, no! I don't want to barf. I don't want to barf."
Tillman is sick. Sometime through the day, he started feeling bad. His nose is kind of stuffy sounding and then late in the afternoon, he started getting warm and lazy. I just got him ready and it was time for bed (7pm). He wanted me to carry him. We are headed to his bedroom and I hear his stomach make a yucky sound and he says, "I don't feel good again mama." I asked him if he was going to barf, he said no, then one second later barfed down my shirt. We made it to the bathroom and he continued. It surprises me how I am able to calmly just talk to him and try to calm him down and tell him that it's okay when he's barfing all over and I know I'm going to have to clean him and everything else up and I have barf on me. If this was another kid before I was a mom (and maybe even still, I don't know), I would have to leave or barf and I would get nauseas over and over again thinking of it.
Sorry. I know this is a really gross post.

I think its the same thing with all bodily functions (gas, poo, potty, boogers). I totally didn't think I could handle all that, and yet I do! Being a mom is a weird, weird thing sometimes!
I know exactly what you are talking about. I remember my first all nighter w/Logan were I changed my shirt a half a dozen times an we slept on a towel. I kept thinking over and over...if this was anyone else in the world it would have been totally gross but all I wanted to do was cuddle with him cause I felt sad for him. Plus that weird sick mommy cuddle you just can't get enough of.?
Sorry Tillman is sick. Something is going around!?
oh i'm totally with you on this one! Last night after I had been barfing all day and changing diarreah diapers Cruz barfed all over the kitchen floor!!! Yuck nothing worse then cleaning up barf when you have the flu yourself!!
On a side note I'm so sorry Tillman has the flu! This stuff is awful it has gotten hold of all of us here!
I know its crazy huh? I was the same way. Seeing vomit made me gag and vomit. but when I had kids its like I became immune and now I fly into action without thinking twice.
We were out at dinner once in a resturant and eli made the tummy sound you speak of and strarted to throw up. Out went my hands to cath it all so that it didnt end up on the floor! Yup I caught vomit in my hands! ugh, yuck
Hee hee.. the word "barf" cracks me up.
~ I'm not too bad about that, in fact DH said I'm good at throwing up - I did that a LOT when I was pregnant and DH was always amazed at how calmly I'd do it, feel better, and go about my business. He on the other hand is horrible about throwing up, it sounds like he's getting murdered when it happens.
I remember when Mikayla was just a couple months old and she had a cough that would make her gag and throw up. I was holding her and she started to cough, then throw up all over me, and I actually had this inner debate of, "Well do I just hold her here and let her keep throwing up on me, or hold her away and let her go on the floor? I'm already messy, and it'd suck to have to clean the floor. I guess I'll just let her keep throwing up on me". Ahhh, mommyhood!
I also HATE barfing. I did it just about everyday for 4.5 months while PG so I've got lots of practice. I think I've barfed in every parking lot in Snohomish county.
Hopefully I handle it better with DD.

It's amazing what you can do as a mom huh?
Poor guy - I hope he feels better soon!
This is EXACTLY what I do!
Or if I am being really proactive, I make sure she is over a surface I can clean easy.
