Well, I'm sitting at my computer on Saturday night after having cleaned up, again, copious amounts of snot and puke! Baby E was so tired and I think I made the pablum a bit too thick when she has a cold, so she puked it all up PLUS the milk - it was such a disaster we had to get the swifter wet jet out to mop the floor. Pretty gross if I ask you! And then she had the biggest poo ever - it went up her back and everything. For all those parents out there, you know exactly what I am talking about.
Why don't parenting books prepare you for this? I don't think parenting books do a good job of explaining all the "little" things that might pop up when you have your first child. Like, really? the poo is that colour and it's still healthy?
We popped E back in the bath (her second one today as she had another big one this morning) and then spent a couple of hours trying to get her back to bed.
Last night we were up from 1.30am to 4am trying to get her back to sleep. It was the worst night to be up because this morning we had family portraits with the entire big C family. We were worried that the younger generation wouldn't be able to handle more than 10 minutes but they showed us all wrong! My sister-in-law gave me the cutest dress ever for E to wear - it was like a wedding dress!
Okay - off to bed!
