4:30am Fun!

Really, there's nothing like it. You're sleeping soundly and you hear the pitter patter of little feet and then *cough cough* in the hall bath. More little feet back to the bedroom so you think it's nothing and roll back over. Oh no, not so fast. Here he comes again and then you hear it. The unmistakeable sound of someone tossing the previous night's dinner. That was what I got to deal with early this morning. He made it to the toilet fine the first time and went back to bed and so did I. Did you really think that was the end though? Nope. There he went again and apparently this time he missed. Big time. And I went to help him and stepped in it(it was dark and I didn't have my glasses on fwiw). OMG. Guess what I got to do this morning? Have I grossed you out yet? I went back to bed and sometime a couple of hours later dh asks me if Logan will be going to school. Um nooo. He was throwing up last night! The only good thing that came from it all is that I got to sleep in this morning. I think it well deserved.

How is he now you wonder? He's fine. F.I.N.E. Running around, ate some waffles (against my advice) and is now playing a video game. Makes you wonder how they do it. How can a kid be so sick and then perfectly fine just a few hours later? I have no idea what made him sick. He didn't eat anything different than us. And he was fine when we went to tumbling last night and when he went to bed. Who knows.

Bella update (+Thursday update)

See I knew it wouldn't last. Ian's complaining now and even napped on his own. The boy who begs for lunch at 9:30am didn't bother today. Ugh.


Thursday update-
She woke around midnight last night crying. Thank goodness I went to bed at 10 anticipating this. She was warm but not burning up like before so I gave her a dose of Tylenol, changed her diaper and she actually nursed quite a bit. Guess she was hungry! She slept until 7am and woke up fine! No noticeable fever, alert, and babbling. She still has a runny/stuffy nose so I had to suction that so she could nurse but it would appear she had a miserable 24 hour bug. (KNOCK ON WOOD!). Keep your fingers crossed!


(Wed)
She was/is still running a fever. I can ony get it to drop to about 101 with me alternating Motrin and Tylenol. She had no energy today but she wasn't necessarily listless. She was alert and even played on the floor a bit. I put her in the bath tonight and she just sat there although she did attempt to grab a toy. When she started shivering though I had to take her out. Poor baby. She didn't eat much tonight and barely nursed at bedtime. She just went to sleep next to me.

I hate not being able to do anything for her. I'm on the fence about taking her in to the ped's office. I'll probably wait to see how she is tomorrow and I'll take her to after-hours if I have to. I'm not one to run to the Dr's office at every sniffle but I hate seeing her so sick.

Murphy's Law

When you say there's nothing going on, something inevitably will happen. About 12:30am or so Bella woke up screaming. Totally unlike her so I got up to go comfort her and she was burning up. Dh grabbed some Motrin for her and I nursed her. Put her back down and only 30min later if that she was up again. Dh got up and went to sit in the recliner with her hoping they could both get some sleep. A bit later, I don't know how long since I fell back asleep, I hear her screaming again. So I got her from dh, checked her temp (100.7 or so) and tried nursing her again while he went back to sleep. She finally fell asleep again (I dozed off as well) and when I put her down, she stayed down until about 7am. She's still running a fever but otherwise she seems okay- just tired. Why won't this damn germ go away?! I'm exhausted and I know dh is even worse. He only got a few hours of sleep last night. He even contemplated calling in this morning but went in anyway.

On a good note, Logan was honored with an Gold Medal Award today for high achievement in reading. One student from each class was honored for either reading, math, science or writing. I'm a proud Mama!! They get an actual medal with their school name engraved on the back and when they get back to their classrooms they will be given a certificate as well. Ian was very good thru the 45min or so presentation and even though Bella isn't feeling well, she didn't make a peep. I'll say it again, I love wearing her. It keeps her so calm and I think she loves being that close to me. She eventually fell asleep right on my chest.

And the pictures (someone remind me to bring my SLR next time!!)

These are his classmates with our Principal, Mr Shields.

Tuesday (not so) Fun

Poor baby. She's been coughing for the past 2 days but this morning she started coughing up green stuff. Blech. Her nose is running clear though. She does have a slight fever so I'm keeping her at home and even gave her some Tylenol. She needs some sleep but right now she's fighting it. I went around the house and sprayed Clorox Anywhere spray everywhere today! By God I'm going to get rid of this bug if it kills me! And I better not catch it either. I have a relaxing few hours planned at the salon on Saturday (my last time for a very long time- back to the box I go I think after this. UGH!!) and I want to enjoy them!
