My son vomited in my mouth today

...repeatedly. On a plane. During takeoff while the seatbelt sign was on. After 5 hours of delay.Today was...hell. Seriously, if theres a hell, it's the day I had today. SO MANY THINGS WENT WRONG.Hubster and I flew with our 11.5 month old LO this weekend to my home state, and IT DID NOT GO WELL.I thought the flight there was bad because his sleep got so messed up that he was manic-cranky by the end of the flight, but today's flight home took the cake.First, our flight was delayed due to "mechanical problems". Which, ok, I want them to take their time fixing that because I dont want to die. Cool. But then, after 2 hours of delay, they tell us that they're actually going to get us a different aircraft. Great! Unfortunately, the new aircraft is smaller and has fewer seats, so the next hour and a half was spent figuring out who would still be taking the flight. THEN, they discover that they need a whole new air crew, so they had to wait for the plane to be re-staffed. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE. After 4 hours of waiting for this stupid flight (during which time my baby would NOT sleep no matter how hard I tried), they realized that they needed new pilots. So then we had to wait ANOTHER hour for the new pilots to arrive after they were called in.You would think that all of this is bad enough, right? WRONG.I tried to nurse my extremely fussy and overtired baby during takeoff to help with the pressure change but he wasn't having it. 'Ok' I thought, 'I'll just try again in a little bit. I've been nursing him all day while we've waited for this flight'. So I picked him up facing me to snuggle for comfort, and he let loose with some exorcist style projectile vomit, right in my face. And all down my front. And in my shirt. It actually pooled in my bra. It was the single most disgusting thing that I have ever experienced.Thank God I have a muslin addiction and had also packed LO and I hoodies, because I was able to towel us both off with a muslin, hand the baby to my hubster, and I'm not ashamed to say, I stripped from the waist up right there in that seat, did a brief wipe down with the muslin, and put the hoodie on. Then I did the same for LO, and wrapped his bottom half toga style in a clean muslin. I wrapped all the vomit clothes and muslin in a plastic bag and waited for the seatbelt sign to turn off so I could take the baby to the bathroom and give us both wipe downs with wet wipes.LO seemed much more well tempered after that and spent the rest of the flight alternately snuggling with me and nursing. I, unfortunately, got to spend the rest of the flight sitting in my vomit soaked underwear. Needless to say, we ALL got baths pretty much as soon as we got home. It was a hell of a day.TL;DR: I'm never traveling again. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Ft9bXA
