We're up really early for Byerlys so I thought why not update? Here's a play by play of the last hour.
First, Emery wakes up screaming for a waffle around 4:30 in between coughing. If you know Emery at all, food is NEVER on her mind! So I knew something was up. I crawled into bed with her and immediately noticed she was breathing funny again! She's been sick all weekend with the same "stuff" as a few weeks ago. So I say to her, "Lets go do panda" (panda is our nebulizer) and she says okay! So as we are walking out of her room, I feel her torso "pump"- I know no other way to describe this! So, I take a few steps and I feel something very warm go all down my back! She threw up! Where did this come from? So I rip my favorite sleep shirt off and set her in the bathroom. I forgo putting her in the bath because lucky her- she has not a drop on her! I clean that up pretty fast and then need to find a rubberband to pull what WAS my clean hair back into a ponytail. I'm thinking I will shower after I get Emery better. On the way to our bedroom, I have to pass through our office. I stepped on the rug and felt it was wet! So I turned a light on and the rug and floor were saturated with water. Water from where? Up from the bottom of the house? Still not sure. So feeling a little sorry for myself, I walk into our room and decide I probably should wake Jim. He's been such a help- we are all running on little sleep because Emery's been sick! I forgot that I hadn't put on a new shirt! I'm kind of still laughing at Jim could have thought at first when he looked at me!! He cleans up the water in the office and then I convince him to go back to sleep. We can deal with where the water came from in daylight! It's always funny to me that things seem to happen all at once. And no, I'm not saying that any of this is a big deal!
I got Emery comfortable, and we are now sitting in the recliner watching the wiggles and sipping a diet coke! Things are MUCH better now! Of course, I haven't had my shower yet, but I'm enjoying the uneventfulness for now!
For all of you that have baby #2, I'm trying to figure out how this morning would have worked if there was another baby that needed some attention. I know that it all works out, but that seems very overwhelming right now!
I'll post some pictures in a little while!

B
P.S. WE are MAJOR wiggle fans in our house...BABY CRACK! It seems to solve all of our problems. I still won't do Barney though!
Oh you poor thing!! Cooper had the same thing last week: throwing-up , the Croup, coughing, running nose, etc. It was so fun!!!:) Anyways, I hope that everyone is feeling better! By the way, hopefully baby # 2 will be real laid back and just hang out during times like these! Thanks goodness Hudson is very laid back!!
What a morning!! And funny you should ask about baby #2 b/c i was thinking the same thing!! Ha!
Too funny! I hope she is feeling better! You will do great with #2!
What an awful morning! I hope Emery is feeling better. Last night, I had a nightmare that I was pregnant again way too soon. I really don't know how people do it.
How many more weeks? Are you feeling okay?
you are always so funny! and yes, having baby number 2 throws a serious kink into things when one gets sick. you guys have had a hard time lately with poor little emery--it will get better! lilly was sick like that all the time with croup and colds at that age, but emery will get over all of it soon hopefully!
