sick...

Blah...
I know....what a way to start a post, right? Well, that's how I've been feeling. I knew Wednesday night that something was up. I just didn't feel right, and I told Jeff after I fed Claire around 10 that it was going to be a bad night. Well, even though it doesn't happen much- I was right! :)
I started throwing up around 10:30 and continued to throw up every half hour until about 6ish. Yuck. Much of that was dry heaving, since I had nothing left in me. One of the times Jeff checked on me, I actually broke down and told him I was so worried that Claire would catch this. He reassured me and told me to just try to get some rest.
Well, he took Claire to day care, and I stayed home, not wanting to get out of bed. (I was miserable.) My whole body was hurting. Anyway, you know what happened next...about 2:30 I got a phone call from the day care that Claire had thrown up. I felt terrible. Kristi was going to pick her up after school since Jeff had a dentist appointment, and when she got there around 3:30 Claire had thrown up 4 more times. Poor baby. Of course I was worried, because she's barely 4 months old, and I felt so yucky I didn't know if I had it in me to take care of her like she needed. Thank goodness for Kristi...she was so helpful and allowed me to continue to rest while Claire either threw up or slept. We kept trying to give her Pedialyte, but she continued to throw it up. Finally, she kept it down late in the evening, and I was able to give her more and she slept ok. (not through the night like she normally does, but she was probably hungry and just feeling kind of icky.)
Anyway, I stayed home with her today, which was good, because I think I needed another day too. She is doing so much better, and I am so thankful.
I think it's going to be a low key weekend here, which is fine with me!
