4 Pajama Night

I'm a little late in posting, this actually happened on Thursday evening, but I thought you would enjoy (or not) hearing about it. More typical life of the parents of infants, I guess.
NewMom wakes me up at about 2:AM - this is a typical time when she feeds Edy at night, and asks me to help cleanup where Edy had vomited all over the pillow and blanket where NewMom was feeding her. In my drowsy stater I quickly start picking things up and mumbling OK, OK, then came to my senses - "She what?"
Edy has vomited only one other time, while I was at work. NewMom called me and then called the nurse hot line. For those of you who don't know - infant vomiting is only worth mentioning to a heath professional if a) it's happened about 7 times in the last 3 hours and is causing dehydration, or b) there is some sort of bile or like material being regurgitated. So the random throw up - no big deal, apparently it happens.
So as we are cleaning up the mess - and NewMom changes her pajamas, Edy proceeds to regurgitate a second and quickly third time - causing yet another pajama change and NewDad to get even more towels from the closet.
The final pajama change came a little later in the evening, when NewMom changed her again because she wet through her diaper and soaked her pajamas - hence a record 4 pajama night.
Just to make a note, no one told me about this part BEFORE I had a kid.
