Sick Baby

What does a sick baby look like you ask? Sleepy, cranky, sad, inconsolable, exhausting are all good words to describe a sick baby.

This, however, is what MY sick baby looks like.

Our day started at 7a.m. when Milo woke up (early). I went in and found that he had been sleeping in his own throw up for who knows how long. It was dry and matted in his hair, and his room smelled completely awful. It was SO sad. Now, before you starting thinking how awful I am for letting him scream and cry in the middle of the night after throwing up until he fell back asleep, THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. The kid didn't make a peep till 7, and I slept pretty lightly last night.

I spent the morning with him trying to slowly get food of any sort to stay down. It only took a couple tries before I stopped trying solids at all and just stuck with milk from mommy, water and once in a while some apple juice. Poor kid.

He is seriously the best baby ever though. He was extra cuddly, and just laid with me for long periods of time. When we weren't cuddling, he was cruisin the house, playing with toys, climbing the stairs and being pretty dang close to his normal happy self. It made it hard to tell if he was still feeling sick or if he was feeling better. By noon he was starting to be able to keep food down, but he was very picky about what he would eat. But that's when he started "squirting" out the other end. Those were some fun diapers. He even "squirted" me in the middle of one change (add that to my 'official mom list').

Daddy came home from work early to help and comfort Milo. They got a nap in and some (calm) play time in. That kid sure loves his daddy. He went down easy and seemed to be feeling better. Our fingers are crossed that tomorrow is a better day. (and as usual, fingers are also crossed that he decides to sleep in. I can hope right?)

Cutest kid ever, right?
