How many time can a mom get puked on?

Answer: I'll let you know :)

Connor has a stomach bug that seems to be going around. I think it started last Friday with a fever, but he was OK over the weekend. Last Sunday we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner and we threw up there, but Jeremy and I thought it was because he was feeding himself with a fork and he ate too much. Monday he was kinda cranky. Tuesday night he didn't eat hardly anything for dinner. Wednesday he ate nothing but nursed before bed as usual. About an hour later I heard him in his room awake and sure enough there was puke everywhere. Then about two hours after that, again he threw up. No more that night, but yesterday he woke up still cranky and pulling at his ear. So we went to the pediatrician and as we are waiting he throws up in the waiting room, mostly on him, some on me. The nurse practitioner says it should last 5-7 days. (not sure when I should start counting?) Later that day he was acting OK, still not eating much but some toast, banana and apple sauce I was holding him and he threw up all over me again. Luckily Jeremy was home early and helped get the situation cleaned up. Then this morning at 4:30 once again we were changing sheets and blankets. He woke up around 7:45 and as I was walking into the kitchen with him, yep you guessed it, puked all over me again. Gotta love the smell of breast milk coming back up 3 hours later :)
He's down for a nap now. If today is like yesterday, he'll sleep almost 4 hours, I know he needs it. I'm waiting to see if he gets better b/c we are supposed to go to Tally this weekend to visit. I have a felling we won't be making it though :(
