Firsts

Samuel woke up this morning a little more clingy than usual. Actually, most mornings he jumps out of bed and is ready to go go go! Today, not so much. I enjoyed holding him and cuddling, until he began to dry heave. And then it came out. Yep- a stomach virus. Thankfully it was just water- the little bit he had to drink this morning, which means he digested the chicken stir-fry he devoured last night.

Katherine ran bath water for him. He cried as I bathed him. He's never been sick before. He has had a fever and runny nose- so maybe he's had a cold, but never a stomach virus.

He threw up again just before I left to take the kids to school. Now he's just lying on the couch, surrounded by his burp rags and blanket. Bryn is whisper-singing to him and making sure he's comfortable.

Today we'll be doing a lot of cuddling and holding. Hopefully, Samuel will be doing a lot of resting.

  2. As sad as it is to see him laying on the couch, he just looks too adorable and it makes me want to smother him in kisses. I hope he can get over it quickly and be back to his normal self again! Bryn is so sweet to him! :)

  3. Poor baby! How is he now? Hope all is well and no one else got it. Our crew has Strep and that is one nasty bug - it's the first time I've ever had it and I thought I was dying....or really, really sick anyway. Meds are a blessing! Love and miss y'all!
