Sunday night....shew. Cade was being very restless as he slept. It didn't take long to find out why. The poor thing woke up a little after 11:00 throwing up. Ew. This was no baby puke. Nope, the real thing. It wasn't just a tad that sometimes appears after a meal. This was full on vomit. We cleaned up and laid back down, just to do it all over again. After four towels, two blankets, a pair of pjs, an extra sleep shirt and numerous mommy changes we headed for the couch. I left him in his diaper and his blanket was now a towel. I felt so sorry for him. He was so tired, he could barely finish gagging and dry heaving before he was trying to snuggle back to sleep. That continued around every 20 minutes until about 3:30.
After Daddy left for work we napped a little longer on the couch. Fear of repeat I only gave him bread for breakfast and water...in a bottle. I felt bad for him. After another nap for Cade, Grandma stopped by with some Pedialyte. I put that in a bottle. I knew he would have nothing to do with it in a sippy cup. He just knows its "medicine." Of course with Grandma here he was busy showing off and being silly (like he hadn't even been sick). After I watered down the Pedialyte and he woke up from another nap, he managed to drink it along with more bread.
I finally got him to play in the floor some, but could just tell he still wasn't feeling well. He slept most of the day yesterday and is still attached to my hip today. He's going to Grandma's today so I can do some errands. I'm sure she won't have any problems snuggling with him all day.

Barb, So sorry to hear Cade was sick. I think vomitihg is one of the worse things to deal with because you feel so helpless. I hope he is feeling better today! My computer at home is not working so I am reading this at work. Jim is in New Jersey till April 30th. Do you think
