Thanksgiving Surprise

posted Friday November 27th, 2009

I thought I’d hit all the parenthood milestones, but an hour ago — when Sophie literally puked in my face — I realized there are still some firsts I have yet to experience.

I held her head, both of us dripping with what I think was once stuffing, and thought, “This is love.”

Not to say I didn’t mind, but it just wasn’t as bad as it sounds. Weird, huh?  I surprised myself.

A reminder to be thankful for (relative) good health and close family.

Uh oh. I hear her again. Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful, and surprise-free.

  3. oh man…um not fun. hope she’s feeling better. I’ve had to deal with projectile vomit on an airplane while fighting my own morning sickness, but never had my kids vomit in my face….not sure i could handle it!
