Smells Like Peaches


Question: Other than being foods, what do peas, peaches, rice, green beans, and bananas all have in common? Answer: I have been sprayed with all of them at least once during the past week. *Sigh* And I thought we weren't going to have this problem this time. After all, my daughter is 8 1/2 months and she hadn't blown Beechnut once before last week. But now it's a different story, and so with every bite I duck my head and hold my breath and hope that if I judged correctly, the mouthful will land on her sister instead of me. Yes, of course I am trying to encourage her not to spit, but while she is learning I am resolved to the possibility of a couple of extra showers each day. However, regarding this, I believe I have gained some insight that could benefit thousands. Here's the story: Yesterday I wore a black shirt, and then it hit me. Peaches. And also, an epiphany. Although an entire infant-sized mouthful had been vaporized in my general direction, the unknowing husband would never be able to see it against the black fabric! As if that wasn't enough, my senses took me one step further - peaches smell amazing!! So here's my final question: If a mother was sprayed with peaches in the kitchen and no one could see it, would she still need body spray? Hmmmm...

  1. Oh my goodness, she is getting cuter every day!!! Haha...I just had a great invention idea..."mommy bibs". You could wear them while feeding.

    I had no idea that you went through something like that. I'm so sorry! I don't think that ER staff are very equiped to handle those situations...and I actually made a formal complaint today. Not bitter, I just don't want the next person to have to go through that. It's nice to know that even though that happened, you have 3 beautiful, healthy, little girls now. It's hopeful!

  2. Oh, it was when I had the miscarriage 2 years ago. I was in the ER for hours because they thought it was ectopic. A similar thing happened to Jaclyn recently. =(
