Parenthood changes you…

Sure, I realize that parenthood changes you…but I had no idea it could change me this way.  Connor has gotten sick in the past and I have been able to handle his vomiting.  This story/scenario never crossed my mind until tonight…

See, I have the “reflex” where if I hear or see someone throwing up, I can’t hold it together and I start gagging and will vomit too.

The “funny” thing about Connor vomiting tonight is that it wasn’t me, but Mommy that had that “reflex” take over tonight.  So, we are both in the bathroom rubbing and trying to calm our boy down as he is gagging because he needs to vomit.  As he gets close to vomiting, Mommy’s reflex kicks in and I see she is about to lose it.  I motion for her to “get out”.   She left and was able to control herself.  I stayed with him as he vomited and my “reflex” didn’t surface.

We love you, Mommy!

Daddy and Connor
