...including throwing up! Yes, Jaelyn got the flu bug for the first time Saturday morning at precisely 1 am! Both Marcus & I woke up to Jaelyn crying...so he went in to check on her. He found her sitting up in her crib looking at the mess she had created. Poor little girl....it was everywhere including all over the crib sheet, mattress pad, bumper, her favorite blankie & of course her. After we got her all clean up as well as the crib, I decided to have some cuddle time with her in the rocking chair to help her go back to sleep. She had other plans....up-chuck on me! I gagged as I caught all of the undigested food (sorry for the gross mental picture) which made Jaelyn even more scared at what was happening. Marcus kept telling me to "power through it!" Thankfully it ended quickly...but we had a few more casualties...including my p.j's & her 2nd blankie (identical to fav #1 blankie) which was now covered in vomit & needed to get washed. Jaelyn threw up one more time before she called it a night. Marcus stayed up with Jaelyn until her blanket was clean (it's a must-have to go to sleep) and then put her to sleep. He climbed back into bed ~3am. Thankfully we didn't have any more episodes in the middle of the night & she slept until 8am.
On church on Sunday, I found out that 4 other kids came down with the same thing...all were in nursery together on Thursday for our mom's group. Ah man...that's where Jaelyn caught the bug. Thankfully we haven't had any more throwing up episodes, however Jaelyn is definitely not her normal self. She is sleeping a TON & does not have an appetite at all. I'm trying to get liquids in her, but having a hard time. Hopefully she'll get over this thing soon.
