Maelin is sick. Of course she is: she always gets sick whenever anything fun is about to happen. Nana is coming from Minnesota for a couple of days and Christmas is almost here...so it's a perfect time for Mae to come down with a nasty stomach bug.
Poor little thing. It started on Saturday morning: I went in to get her and she and her crib were covered with blueberry vomit: she had thrown-up sometime during the night and had just rolled over and gone back to sleep in it. (eeeeewwwww) Then all day Saturday she was listless and moody and then again on Sunday and then again today. Today was the worst: she threw up 3 times today: including once in my car (thank goodness for how easily leather seats clean up!) and once in a crowded restaurant right in front of other guests trying to eat their lunch. (eeeeewwwww)
Kevin and I are worried sick about her and we're exhausted. We're tired of cleaning up puke from every corner of the globe and the poor little thing just isn't herself. The doctor told me today that she thinks it's just a bug and if she keeps throwing up tomorrow, she'll put her on an anti-nausea medication. Fun.
Anyway, after watching hours and hours and hours of Elmo (although that sounds like torture, it's the only way the poor little thing is remotely happy), we finally got her to go to sleep tonight. Keep your fingers crossed that today was the worst day and we'll be over the hump of this because I'm really starting to get depressed: not exactly the way I had imagined Mae and I spending our time off.
Here's a picture of our sick little girl watching Elmo. Check out who's also worried about her!! Sweet kitty...

I really hope she is much better today. Poor girl. That photo is priceless... sweet girl with her kitty. Brings me back to when Bailey was just about her age and really sick right after we moved back to Colorado (when Trevor got out of the Army). We were staying with Trevor's grandma and he was sooo sick (throwing up everywhere, too) and he only wanted to watch teletubbies. Seriously, it was the only thing the poor guy had the strength and it gave him some comfort. I hate sick kiddos! It makes me so worried. ((HUGS))
