This is what happens when a little girl gets a stomach bug. She cuddles with Mommy and Daddy all day.
Charlotte is smiling even though she was definitely feeling bad. When we got her out of bed on Saturday morning we discovered that she had thrown up sometime during the night and then slept in it all night. Poor baby! I immediately gave her a bath because she was smelly. We were trying to decide if it was just a fluke, or an illness. When she started to lay around on her Daddy the answer of "illness" was confirmed. Our little girl is not a cuddler, so that was very abnormal. Later that day, we heard from her babysitter and she and her daughter both had the stomach bug as well.
Luckily, Charlotte only threw up one other time that evening. I totally reacted like a Mom. She threw up all over me. Instead of being upset about being covered in throw up, I started crying because I was so sad that she felt that bad.
On Sunday night I came down with the stomach bug. Again, my first reaction was to think, "I can't believe Charlotte felt this bad." I just felt so horrible that she had to suffer through what I was suffering through at that moment. I am feeling a lot better and Charlotte is mostly back to herself. She is just more tired and wants to eat less than normal. Our first stomach bug is out of the way and I hope it doesn't come back for a VERY long time!

Poor little thing...I hate when kids are sick. I just want to take their pain away. Sorry you got sick too! Hope you are all well by Thanksgiving!
Babies puking are the WORST! Glad it's behind you!
