Welcome to Motherhood...

Last night Jenna had a feeding around 4 am. I was soothing her back to sleep and was holding her in my arms, facing out. As I was getting ready to place her in her crib, she spit up all over the crib! We don't have the basinette set up anymore, so I had to put her in the bouncer (now wide awake) and change the sheet. Those of you short mommas out there (and maybe tall ones, too) know that changing a crib sheet can be a bit of a challenge! I got it done and put her back down. I went back to bed and heard a funny sound on the monitor. I was worried that the sheet wasn't on good enough and came off one corner, so I rushed back into the nursery. As soon as I got in there, she spit up again! This time since she was on her back, it got all over her clothes and settled under her head, thus soaking her hair and back. So, I stripped her down and got a washcloth and cleaned her off. Little miss hates being naked and even more so hates being wet, so she got upset. I got her changed and she settled quickly. By that point, I was worried she was sick, so I got out the thermometer. I don't have one designated for rectal use yet, so we did an ear test which told me her temp was 92F. Hm, I don't think that's right. I did the kiss her head test and it felt the same temp as my lips, so I decided she wasn't sick. I think that she probably didn't get all her burps out. Her spitup was only on one half of the bed, so I put her down on the other half and we both went back to sleep. Good news is that she is still going to bed really well for us!
