Sorry for my absence, my poor baby woke us up at 11:45 Thursday night crying. I turned on the video monitor in time to see her projectile vomiting everywhere. This began the long night of throwing up, cleaning up, throwing up, cleaning up...you get the idea. Poor baby. I bet she went through 6 sets of PJ's. Why didn't I leave her undressed you ask? She sleeps with a sleep sack and she had thrown up on the only two sleep sacks that still fit her. Note to self...get more sleep sacks ASAP!! She has never slept with a blanket in her crib so A, not only was I afraid she would not know to cover herself up but B, I didn't want to adjust the air because I didn't want her to get too hot or cold. I guess Bryan and I are lucky though that this is her first stomach bug that we have experienced in over a year. Did we know what the heck to do, well heck no, so what did I do, I called the on call nurse at her pediatricians office. She said I was like the 10th caller with stomach bug issues...ouch!! Anyhoo, needless to say, I slept a whole hour and a half because it was pretty obvious I was going to be the one staying home from work with Zoe on Friday. Bryan slept for about 4 hours and then being the angel he is or it might have been the fact that I threatened his life, one or the other...little blurry, he let me sleep from 6:00 to 9:00, he just went into work a little later. No seriously, he knew there was no way I could function to take care of Zoe on Friday with 1:30 minutes of sleep. So anyway, off to work he goes, I'm home, he gets home that afternoon, baby girl is whining and not feeling much better but not throwing up or stinkies, we proceed to have a normal Friday night at home. Saturday rolls around and bam, guess who has the stinkies...yep that would be me, then around 6 that night, guess who starts throwing up, yep...that would be me again!! Bryan takes care of Zoe all day and night Saturday night. I felt terrible, she was crying for me and wanting her Mommy to hold her but I definitely didn't want to get her sick again or Bryan so I stayed in bed, broke my heart. Then, Bryan wakes up around 4:30 Sunday morning throwing up and stinkies!! Argh!! So, needless to say the whole Lockette clan got this wonderful stomach virus that is going around...can you detect my sarcasm? It was so bad that my Mom came to our rescue on Sunday and stayed with us until Monday. Mom, if you ever read this, we appreciate your help more than you will ever know. I have a feeling this fall/winter is going to be LLLOOONNNGGGG!! I so wish I could stay home with Zoe, it just isn't in the cards right now. Maybe with baby number two things will be different, we won't be able to afford daycare for two so we will have no choice. Anyway, I am happy to report all Lockettes are functioning at 95% and feeling a little better everyday!! Sorry for the long post and the mention of stinkies!!
