Puking Toddler

Well, Alec and I had a parenting first last night.  Brie went to bed no problem normal time, then around 9:30pm we heard her crying and screaming.  She had thrown up EVERYWHERE in her bed.  It was on the wall, pillows, blankets, and her. 

We got her in the bathroom while she was still throwing up.  We took off her pajamas and got her in the tub; she really like that, probably felt good sitting in the warm water. I got some laundry going and put the really nasty linens on the deck....one pillow is getting thrown away!  We got her all cleaned up and back into bed, she was so tired.  As soon as we went back upstairs she started throwing up again.  After another change of pajamas....I had the idea to put the crib mattress up in our room and just set her up there.  That was the best idea, she ended up getting up about once an hour through the night until 5am......  I ended up spending the majority of the night just sitting on the floor by her.  She would get really restless about 15min before she threw up.  She was just dry-heaving and throwing up some stomach acid, it was awful!  I felt so bad for her I just couldn't bring myself to leave her side.  Finally around 5am I got into bed and fell asleep; everyone (even Leah!) slept until 8am. 

Alec went off to work later in the morning.  I just put Brie on the couch to watch TV.  She was acting like she was feeling a little better, I figured the puking was done with.  Around 10:30am I put her to bed in her bed, she slept until 3:30pm!  Granted, she basically was up all night.  Leah was super fussy today (maybe not feeling great?!), so I never got a chance to nap.  But I just relaxed and held Leah all day, so that was kind of nice.  Brie went to bed no problem by 8pm.  She did end up having some dry cereal and Gatorade today; not much, but at least it stayed down no problem! 

Tomorrow is a new day.....hopefully a HEALTHY day!
