Gastrointestinologist

When I was a little girl I wanted to be a gastrointestinologist because I wanted to know what was wrong with my dang stomach. It was always something. I used to have these horrible sharp gas pains in my belly and I would be in AGONY laying on the couch waiting for it to pass. OR, I would be up in the middle of the night on the verge of throwing up. I spent many a nights on the bathroom floor- my mom would make me a little pad on the bathroom floor and I would sleep there all night. Today- I am so glad I didn't choose that as a profession or even a course of study. I get enough poo and vomit to last me a lifetime. My kids are the most VOMIT-O kids I know. When they were a little younger, me and Jeebs would count our many blessings if no one threw up during dinner. Today, Ezra's diaper was somehow put on wrong- one side was up his crack instead of fully over the cheek. He had a large poo and I had a large mess. I unzipped his sleeper and reconstituted raisins and totally unchanged sunflower seeds started rolling out on the bathroom floor. I have caught his vomit 2 days in a row now- he gags on something and it all comes up (following in his big brother and sister's footsteps). So- now, as a mom, I am fulfilling my dreams up to my elbows in puke and poo- and I wouldn't change a thing.
