Daycare germs have struck again. Friday morning Sunshine threw up twice. Since she seemed fine after that, I attributed it to a night's worth of snot going down her throat instead of pouring out her nose. Then Saturday we hung out with a friend (who's in her 2ww!). We got home around 8:30. I was just able to get Sunshine in her highchair with some cheerios for distraction before I was hurling in the toilet. Got Sunshine to sleep by 9:20 and was puking again by 9:30. A little break until 11:30, then it was pretty much nonstop for HOURS. By 7am I was able to keep some fluids down, but was still very nauseous. Every muscle hurt, my throat was raw from retching, and of course, Sunshine was up bright and early. I called my mother for help. She could come, but it would be a while. I somehow managed to change the poopy (and leaky, naturally) diaper, and gave her a bottle. I put her in her crib with a bunch of toys to play with, and curled up in bed. (The crib is next to the bed.) I also called and left a message with a local babysitter. She was content for a while, then started crying/whining in earnest. I felt terribly guilty when I got her and realized that her snot was dripping all the way to her chin! Then, thankfully, the babysitter called back. She could be here in 5 minutes. YAY! When she got here, I handed Sunshine to her, showed her where the clothes were, got out some pureed peaches for her breakfast, and went back to my sickbed.
My mother arrived about 45 minutes later. Sunshine was dressed and fed, and just about ready for a nap in the car. They hit the road quickly, so as to miss the approaching storm. She's having a great time at her grandmother's. I still feel like crap, but I miss my baybeeee! Last night was the first night we've been apart since she was born. I know it was the right thing, as I spent yesterday and last night barely able to move, finding it hard to find the energy to even get up to get some water. But .... WAAAAAAH!!!! Today I still feel like crap, kind of like a bad hangover. Another night to recover is a good idea, besides, there's a bunch of snow in between us. I miss my Sunshine. :-(
*UPDATE: Relapse! 50 hours after the first puke, just threw up again. FUCK! Afraid to lay down, that it will just make it easier for the sick to come up. Blech, blech, blech!

Hope you feel better soon and that Sunshine is home with you soon.
Ooo you sound like you were really sick! Thank goodness you had some help.
My beta is Wednesday, and the stick was darker today... this is all very intense!
You appeared in a dream of mine last night.. Can't remember it tho. Probably because I was reading your blog before I fell asleep.
Feel better. I'm glad I brought a smile to your face :)
Feel better soon sweetie!
Ohh, I hope you feel better soon. Remember, as much as you miss her, Sunshine will be that much sweeter to see when you are not afraid you are going to puke on her :)
Yucks! Feel better soon, dearie.

I hope so...that stomach thing is icky.

Oh Gee Dora!
Talk about crook....I sincerely hope you've avoided becoming dehydrated (speaking as someone who had a few bug related hospital stays for IV fluids!) and that you are now well and truly on the way to feeling human again.....poor love. I am sure Sunshine will cheer you up no end with endless cuddles when she returns...stay well!
