Cinderfuckingrella

Remember that line from Pretty Woman?  I love that.  Cindefuckingrella.  Anyway, last night, for the middle of the night feed, I was Cinderfuckingrella, but with a difference.

Instead of going to the ball, I went to the lounge to do a feed.  And instead of Prince Charming waltzing with me, I had Prince Marko catching zzzz’s in the bedroom. 

Instead of a ball gown, I had on a dressing gown.  Instead of glass slippers, I had on pink fluffy slippers.  With baby puke inside. 

Yes folks, surely that has got to take first prize.  I know Julia said she had spit up down her butt crack (been there done that), I had baby puke INSIDE my slipper.  Twice. 

I had put Adam on my lap to burp him and he puked.  It slid down my leg, all nice and hot, into my slipper.  Where it quickly cooled down and congealed.  I was too tired to care so I simply put my best foot (slipper) forward and carried on feeding him.  Next burp, same thing happened (I clearly am a v slow learner).  Ah well, what’s a bit of cold, old puke between friends?

Cinderfuckingrella indeed.  Where is that fairy godmother when you need her?  The least she could have done was clean my slippers for me. 

But how can you not leave these absolutely G&D babies?  Puke or no puke. Damn but these babies are getting cuter and cuter by the day.  I love them so damn much.

Nothing like baby puke running down your leg in the middle of the night to make you feel like a mom. And I never learned the first time either.

Gorgeous babies!

[Carmen]

How totally adorable! I can't believe how huge they are already! You are doing a fantabulous job, Tertia!

I had to laugh at the puke in the slipper thing - I've had puke on every single part of my body, and in every article of my clothing. You get used to it really quickly.

Was I actually the first commenter?

[Jill]

Oh- a question for you! What do kids call their moms in SA? I'm thinking Mom is an American thing. Mama? Mother?

[tracy]

Oh my gosh... they look like they've aged months in the past week!

[Sherry]

They look gorgeous!! And their chins are so cute.

[Anne]

Tertia,

Your babies are stunning. V V Gorgeous and Devine!

[Charmaine]

Oh T, they are so beautiful I just want to grab them thru the computer and hold them. They are getting so big so fast. They do win the most beautiful baby award! :)

[Lily]

Love the second pic especially. Very reminiscent of Zoolander's "Blue Steel" look. (If you haven't seen Zoolander, see it.)

[Bekah]

I think the babes are starting to look like each other as they get older. I love their expressions!!

Hey Tertia!

When Alexi was 7 weeks old we flew to Puerto Rico. She still had major reflux issuse at the time. Right as the plane was taking off, she had a wave of puke go on my t-shirt, down my t-shirt and pooled in my bra. Thankfully, I had an extra shirt packed (as I'd learned my lesson before) but didn't have an extra bra. I went "free" the rest of the trip-nipplage and all.

Things to look forward to I guess...the puke running down the leg thing.

I can not get over how much the little ones have changed already. You can really see the personalities coming out in the photos.

They are so freakin' adorable!

[Debe]

the expressions on Adam's face are priceless. They are getting cuter

[Terri]

G & D indeed!!! They are growing up so fast!

Ah yes..the puke. I remember it well. I also remember the explosive poops that came out of my sweet daughters ass at warp speed, covering me in a peagreen mess. She even hit the wall. Ever try and get peagreen poop off of a cream wall?

We painted.

Damn, those are some beautiful babies! They look well-fed, contented, and so happy. You're doing a great job with them, and it shows.

[laura]

They are just gorgeous! And divine. Gorgeous and divine.

[Libby]

Beautiful babies. Really gorgeous and divine.

I don't read blogs on weekends so I am catching up today and just wanted to tell you that I am completely fascinated and enraptured by your posts about SA. I can't wait to see the pictures you promised (specially naked Marko *wink*) and to hear more about your beautiful country!.

[Judy]

I'm so with you on the pukage. I find it in the strangest of places. Right now, I'm catching a whiff of it in my hair.

Adam's expressions are priceless...you have such adorable children!

[Rachel]

You know something, your kids already look like kids - not infants/newborns. So advanced! :)

[Mollie]

Oh, stop it. You're killing me with cuteness.

[Marlen]

Your babies are G&D!! I love Adam's smile in the 1st picture and his little face in the last one! LOL

[Rebekah]

O.k., first ... the kids are getting SO big! Adam's face is starting to fill out, that sweet boy! And second, am I crazy, or is Adam's hair getting lighter? In these pictures it looks almost the same color as Kate's, but before I would have sworn that he had darker brown hair!

[Scully]

Those babies are so gorgeous and divine!

Yeah, if I marked all the spots on me where baby puke had dried, I would have been covered in dried baby puke.

I kept a skirt for many years (finally got rid of it about 5 years ago), that I had only worn once and that the cleaners could never get the puke off it. Used to take it out and bug the kid with it.

[karyn]

Ah, puke.

Your story reminded me of when we all died from the flu last September. Oldest child started off with an impressive 27 pukes in 12 hours, followed by young son, myself and then my husband. The defining moment was when I was holding my 10 month old son and I knew he was going to throw up in a major way. I didn't want him to puke on the new carpet, so I decided in the split second I had to take the brunt of it (after all, I could have a shower, my carpet couldn't). We're talking rivers of puke all down my front, my pants, my bra, the chair. But not a drop on the blessed carpet. Ah...motherhood.

V G&D babes, Tertia.
