Proud Dad Diaries

Welcome to my world of pictures, stories and life as a new dad stumbling through fatherhood one step at a time.

Last night was interesting. Lacy wasn't sleeping very well and I heard her crying and and awake around 11:30 last night. I wasn't very sleepy so I decided to get up and check on her since this isn't really normal for her. The two of us went to the den and I got her some milk and we watched tv for a little while together. After a short time she was getting sleepy and layed down in my arms. But for some reason last night she just wasn't right and couldn't get comfortable and I could tell that she must not feel that well...... Later we're still in the den at about 2:00 a.m. she still isn't comfortable and can't relax, then all of the sudden comes more vomit than I've ever seen in my entire life. (Well, maybe minus a few late nights.) I mean she vomitted probably a gallon of curdled milk. It was insane, and quite scary! For about 15 seconds straight she was vomitting. It started with her laying in my arms while I was sitting in the chair and it finished with me and her in the kitchen with me trying to catch it all in shirt. At this point the scene is probably quite funny but at the time I didn't know when Lacy was going to be able to breathe and was really getting worried for a minute.

Luckily we both came through this unscathed, but minus one throw pillow that caught the brunt of the first action. Afterwards Lacy was pretty stunned and was just standing in the kitchen motionless watching me try to clean up and look at all the damage. It really was like some little alien had taken over her body and was even worse than the time she was projectile vomitting all over herself in the car. (Note, I slammed on the brakes on Poplar in Germantown and was sliding on the grass when the car stopped and Katie and I jumped out to get her out before she started choking.) I feel that Katie and I are both caring and loving yet are still pretty laid back with Lacy in regards to not being too uptight over everything, but when you see some of this you can get pretty nervous. But on the good side, I'm sure it will be a great story to tell her about for years to come and hopefully I'll be able to milk it for all it's worth when I need her to take care of me!

Okay, enough with all of that. In other news my parents and Amber came up Friday night and stayed the night. We all had a good time and it was nice to see them. With my businesses going full steam now it seems that we're always gone and haven't been down to see them since Christmas so it was nice of them to come and visit and give us a break from having to travel somewhere on the weekend. And Lacy enjoyed seeing her Baa and Mamu and was saying there names all weekend. Now we just need to actually get a second to try and fix up things around the house one weekend when we are in town, there are still soooo many things that we want to do, yet so few funds and time to do them:)

Oh, one thing I want to mention on the cute things that Lacy is doing. She now tries to make elephant sounds like her mom if you ask her. It's funny to watch and very cute.
