Here I was just typing away, my beautiful girls taking peaceful naps, at the same time (score one for me!) and this familiar smells comes over me. It was motherhood. The smell of motherhood is no match for even the most expensive of perfumes. Once it’s on you it has you!
The big mystery started when I went to sign for a package from Fedex. The usual happy go lucky Fedex man had no smile today. Instead he took a step back and rubbed his nose with an anxious look on his face. Clearly he smelled something foul.
The unique aroma of formula vomit had come over me as well, but from where? That was the question. I looked at my hands, my arms, my pants…nothing. Then I looked over my left shoulder to discover the culprit. Baby vomit all over the back of my shirt. Don’t ask me how this could have happened without me knowing but it did.
Isn’t being a mom grand?

Haha, my monkey was a puker, it was in my hair, on the chairs, in the 5-10 baby blankets we would carry to go to the grocery store, it was in our shoes and even made in down into Hubby’s pants, into his wallet and onto the credit card. My advice to anyone holding a baby, do not wear fleece! The smell takes forever to come out of fleece.
Yup, motherhood is glam isn’t it? Poor fedex guy!! LOL
man when you least expect it look behind you LOL
lovely, essence of puke is what i call it… i have wore it a few too many times myself too!
Better than Eu de Poop. I think as moms we get to wear all those fancy perfumes.
Oh yes. I remember those days…..I kind of miss them!! My husbanda would rather have poop on him then spit up. Not me!
Abby spit up half of what she ate and her hypoallergenic formula smelled worse than regular formula. Our entire house had that smell from couch to carpet to clothes.
At least you didn’t go to the store that way!
I bet you are forever known by the Fedex dude as “baby vomit lady”
I can remember those days. The spit up smell gets embedded in your nose. I would have it in my hair, on my shirt, and neck. It works as great birth control! Hubby wouldn’t come within a few feet from me.
LOL! I remember those days. The couch always seemed to have the smell when you sat down. I still think I smell it somedays…
Oh but this happened to my husband but it was his mouth the baby spit up landed in!! For real! Learned his lesson not to lift the baby up above his head after feedings.
