A First I Don't Like!

Every time Mattie hits another milestone or as one mommy on another blog put it "inch"stone, we are ecstatic. Well, I don't consider this a milestone at all but it was a first for Mattie and one we could do without. Last night, Mattie had her first stomach virus. Poor baby! It started in the car all in her car seat. Man, what a mess! Mattie rarely cries and to see her in pain from the stomach cramps you knew she was feeling was awful. The hubby was wonderful. We really worked as a team. Every time she got sick....which was like every 20 minutes, he'd clean her up and I'd change the bedding. After about three times, we decided this was going to be a long night so he decided he'd just hold her. Around midnight, I was exhausted. He decided to take the first shift, wake me up and I'd take the second. Well, he never woke me up. He said it finally finished around 3:30am. Now he's sleeping and Mattie too. I guess it is time to start cleaning up this house and open some windows......and shoo the ugly germs away!

Poor baby!!! Poor Mommy!!!and Daddy too!

JEB hates being sick and throwing up and diahrea.......because he doesn't understand what's happening to him.

I'll be praying that it won't spread around to you and the other!!!

Ewwww..I don't want that first either!! Poor thing!! There is nothing worse than throwing up...but I don't know if it is worse for the thrower or cleaner!!

Why does it always seem to start in the car and car seat? It always does. Glad she is now sleeping and hopefully she wakes up feeling better.

So sad... it's never fun to have a sick little one. I hope it doesn't spread any further and that everyone feels well!
