is not smoothly shaved and moisturized legs and well-coiffed hair with a fresh mani/pedi in a brand new, stunning outfit and high heels.
It’s baby spit-up.
Between the boobs.
That smells like sour yogurt.
(I hope you can all feel the sarcasm dripping from my words right now.)
Seriously. That has got to be the most disgusting part of motherhood. Spit-up between the girls.
Especially when said spit-up happens when you really just want your sweet baby to go back to sleep so you can do the same thing. And then, “BLECH.” And “EWWWWW.” Followed by “::GAG::”
It’s awesome, really.
Yogurt bombs, as we’ve lovingly come to call them, have to be the smelliest, most foul things I’ve experienced as a mother. And I’ve got a baby who poops four times a day, minimum. Getting poop on my hands or underneath my fingernail (as has happened more than once!) is nothing compared to the stench that is yogurt that has been souring in your child’s stomach. And which has just found its way to your cleavage.
What’s YOUR sexiest feeling in the world?

I know what you mean about spit up down your boobs. I don't feel sexy these days.

That's hard to beat, especially because the yogurt thrives in the warm, moist cradle of the girls.
I'm going to go with a little barf in your hair, because it's easy to miss. You can turn the house upside down looking for the fleeting stench, upending the kid and cat in the process, only to find a sticky, stinky patch of hair on your own head three hours later.
No lie, the inability to answer WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SMELL?! caused my absolute biggest postpartum freakout.

No yogurt here yet but my two are reflux-y and on soy formula which too has a delightful odor when regurgitated LOLI spend my days covered in baby barf.

God, I remember those days!!! Yucko! And it stinks soooo bad! You have to take a shower because just changing your top isn't enough to de-stink yourself.
Good times, good times.
