I realize that the minute I got pregnant with Henderson that I was really a mom, but I just went through our first stomach bug with my little buddy and THAT makes me feel like a mommy.
Stephen and I had a big weekend planned. Kathy offered to keep Henderson overnight so that we could go on a date. We had also planned on going to Jacksonville today to take care of various errands that we needed to do (yes, J'ville is one of the closest good shopping places around here... about 2 hours away) I honestly can't even tell you the last time that the two of us have gotten out together when it didn't involve a preplanned "event" that we had to go to. Anyway, we ended up going over to his parents house and hanging out there a little while. I put Henderson to bed there before we left. We went to dinner and came home. We were literally getting in bed (how sad - it was a little after 1o) when I hear various phones ringing. I got up and saw it was Steve calling and I immediately went into panic mode. Henderson had thrown up. I decided we were going to get him right then. Luckily we did because even on our way out to the car to bring him home, he threw up again. It was a long night and he was sick almost every hour. He finally stopped throwing up around 6 am. He has been drinking water and even wanted a few bites of apples sauce. (So sad because he really wanted his milk and basically begged us for it.) He went back to sleep at 11 and has been sleeping ever since (it is now 1:30). I have done about 7 loads of laundry. I pretty much held my sick baby all night. I changed his clothes and mine about 5 times. I have washed my hands until they are raw and been through a can of Lysol. Yep, officially a mom!
Please say a prayer for Henderson - that he feels better and one for us - that we don't get it!
PS. Thank you Mom and Dad for the million times you got up with me when I was sick. Whew. Not fun. Now, how do we manage this with TWO babies?!?
