With the first kid, we were grossed out for months. But by the third? You just don't give a shit.
(Ba-dum-bum-bum.)
Pee? As long as it's below my elbows, we're cool. Easily washable. Thankfully.
The closest I've gotten to being grossed-out this time around was when Emerson angrily pooped on me a few weeks back (when I was still on antibiotics for my mastitis, and boy howdy did those drugs make him an angry pooper) and it was everywhere: my shirt, my pants, my arms, the floor. I think I even got some on my shoulder and in my hair.
Ick.
But I calmly changed him. Stripped down. Strapped him into his vibrating chair and took a shower.
Given how overdue I am for a shower, this situation is sounding rather lovely right now.
And spit up? Last week I dreamed I was on Dancing with the Stars and Mark Ballas was my dancing partner. He didn't like me much, probably because I kept interrupting the dancing to nurse Emery (and because I bitter that I didn't get to dance with Maks). Right before it was stage-time, he got really pissed because I was just covered in spit up. So the makeup artist decided to glitterize me. Because that was the only way to disguise the amount of dried spit up I was sporting.
That would have come in handy this morning, while at the grocery store I realized my left arm looked like a white, powder-y mess. The big, dried wet marks across the shoulders just highlighted my awesomeness.

I call those white wet marks my mama accessory.
but good lord look how CUTE he is! No one is looking at your spit up stains when there is a cute baby nearby....
xo
Oh, he's gorgeous though! I'm at the granny stage now - we show daughters' partners embarrassing photos of them as a baby whenever we can (;) ) - you'll be able to direct E's partners to your blog for the full grossed-out story! You've got a great sense of humour!
ok, but look at that gorgeous face!!!
He's so cute! Nicky was a constant spitter-upper. I ran out by myself to go to the store once, and saw a cute baby in the checkout who kept laughing at me. Eventually I realized there was spitup all over my left shoulder. No wonder he was laughing.
Yeah, I am so desensitized with kids poop and puke. I pay it no mind. Sorry you had mastitis!!!!!! That must suck so bad. I had it with my first kid too. Fever for 4 days. NO FUN.
Hang in there mama. They stay so young for so little time. Emerson is quite a cutie pie. Just look at that face.
Hope you are getting some rest too.

I'm right there with you. I just wish I were skinny enough to fit a change of clothes for myself in Kobi's diaper bag.
He's awesomely totally perfectly cute. ;)
Next time convince your dream to change partners to Maks. I mean, what a disappointment to miss out on that sweet goodness. Pinch his tush for me while you're at it.
