Puke Fest 2009

It finally happened...after almost 17 mths of no puking Brooklyn ~finally~ caught her first stomache bug.

It hit her really fast and really came out of no where. We went to the WVU basketball game on Saturday afternoon (a 4pm game) and then went to dinner with the 'other' Shrewsberrys. We were having a great time. Brooklyn and J were playing like always. They actually got in trouble a few times for being loud in the resturant and running around.

We all ate a good meal...Brooklyn probably ate more than anyone (nothing odd about that). Dave, Brooklyn and I got home, changed Brooklyns diaper and put her to bed. She was really tired and seemed happy to see her crib.

About 10ish, I was tired and went to bed. Went to check on Brooklyn (cover her up again, find the pacis that are thrown out, etc.) when I moved her she felt a little warm and then I found the puke.

There was a huge pile of it! Thankfully, there was none on her just in the crib. I called Dave in and while I held the puke girl he cleaned the crib and put new sheets on it. While he was doing that, Brooklyn puked again, and again, and again.

Basically, the lag time between puke sessions was just long enough to change her sheets, clothes, and put her back to sleep. This continued until about 2am when she was just SO exhasted that she couldn't keep her eyes open. Poor thing....

Sunday, she slept in until after 11am and then took another 3 hour nap in the late afternoon. Today, Monday, she is still moving slower and not eating as much...but other than that she is great. We have done a lot of TV watching on the couch this morning and will probably do that this evening too.

I hope that everyone elses weekend didnt include puke!

J and I both hope Brooklyn is feeling better! I hate that feeling of just watching them throw up over and over and knowing there is nothing you can do about it.
Love,

Oh, poor thing! We have not experienced that yet, so I can't imagine...yuck.

But, we have experienced this: since potty training, Cooper has realized that poop or pee in his pull-up (we only use pull-up during naptime) is yucky. So, if he pees or poops while he is asleep, when he wakes up he just takes it off!! Yes, yesterday he had poop everywhere!! It was dried on his arms, hands, face, blankets, stuffed animals, etc...

Ha!Ha! Oh, the life of a mom!

Hope she is doing better!!
