Warning: TMI alert!
Today I'm taking the Buddy to the doctor. Here's what has been happening: barf, barf, barf. For the past couple of months, Jared has been barfing in the middle of the night about once a week. He doesn't get a fever, and he really seems to be fine the next day. Well, this past week he has barfed three times. Each time it happens Alan and I are awake for a couple of hours in the middle of the night giving Jared a bath, changing sheets, and rinsing out pj's and stuffed animals and blankets and everything else that got puked on.
Well, last night it happened again and the main thing that Jared barfed up was raspberries from dinner last night. Red, chunky juice all over everything: pj's, socks, hair, stuffed animals, blankets, sheets, mesh crib bumpers, mattress pad, etc. After giving Jared a bath and changing his sheets, we put him back in bed (it was about 2:30 in the morning). THEN we spent the next hour and a half cleaning up. Alan said we should prepare ourselves to have to throw several things away since they were stained so badly, but we decided to try to pour boiling water over everything to see if it would help. We had four pans of water on our stove at a time and poured the water over everything in our bathtub. It was so disgusting. Then we did a load of laundry in the middle of the night. Crazy, I know. Most of the stains seemed to come out. And yes, Jared seems fine today. However, I am going to take him to the doctor to see if he has some kind of acid reflux problem or something. Hopefully it's not something that medicine can't fix!!
Barf from little kids is so, so, so gross. Hope that this never happens to you!

hope jared gets better but yes it does sound like reflux and they will usually treat with prevacid! All my kids have had it. The may say he should have outgrown it but its not true. Kids still can have it!
Wow, thanks for the details ;) Hope he gets feeling better soon!
Yikes, sorry about that. I hope the doctor is helpful and doesn't say something lame like, "maybe he will grow out of it."
Poor little family. My kids gag and then thow up but I can usually keep the mess to a minimum, usually. Between Jared pooping and throwing up in bed you have lots of messes to clean up. Hopefully the docotors can help stop the barfing.
Oh the poor little buddy! Sounds like "He wants me!"
Yay - so excited to be a mom! But of course GIRLS won't be that way. They'll be dainty, clean, and cute right?!? =) HA
Jenny I'm so sorry! That's awful! Hope he's alright! Hope you and Alan are alright, too!!
Maybe it's an allergic reaction of some sort? But I have to break it to you - the bark doesn't get any "nicer" to clean up as they grow up. The only difference is that they eventually learn to run to the toilet. Not pleasant experiences.
Woah...Jenny can you call me as soon as you read this? Have something to tell you!!!!
