U-Dad was leaving and came to the bed to give me a good-bye kiss. I had heard U-Kid 1 coughing heartily through the baby monitor, but decided that I was too wiped out to go check on her. I asked U-Dad to not go back in case she saw him, knowing that she would not go back to sleep if she did.<br /><br />An hour or so later, I finally got up and walked back there. She was hunched up, dozing sitting up in a corner of her crib. She and the crib were covered in vomit.<br /><br />I want to crawl under the rug every time I think about that story.<br /><br />Obey those Mommy Instincts. And at that moment, not after some extra zzzzz's.<br /><br />You're a wise woman, Mothership!!Urban Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02690541595129734035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-58816418442833470772009-09-17T08:37:41.060-07:002009-09-17T08:37:41.060-07:00Ah, the joy that would abound if any obedience in ...Ah, the joy that would abound if any obedience in my household was quickly and without delay.

I also have to repeat the same request again and again and ...<br /><br />Recently, I had a feeling that I should fix dinner for a friend whose father had just had quadruple bypass surgery. I called and offered, and she tearfully accepted. When I took dinner over that evening, she wasn't home! I drove over to her parents' home & found that her father had just returned home from the hospital & they were there welcoming him home. The food ended up feeding the entire extended family, including her mom who would probably not have accepted a meal. :) It makes me happy when it works out better than I could have imagined.<br /><br />I am glad that BabyPod was okay!Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10053294732592347387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-37350851811141039502009-09-14T22:03:44.088-07:002009-09-14T22:03:44.088-07:00I love the object lesson.
