Night of Puking

[judecorp]

Last night was not a fun night. Punk had a runny nose in the latter part of the day but she was happy and charming so I didn't anticipate a problem. But when Jen went to put her to bed, she vomited everywhere - major projectile empty-the-stomach vomiting that covered Jen and the floor and everything. So we got everything cleaned up and I gave Punk a little more milk and she was wired from all of the commotion but eventually went to sleep. And she was restless.

Around midnight I decided to go in and sleep with her because Jen was concerned about her because of the puking, so we got into bed and she was restless and whiny throughout the night. Eventually she started to cry and I pulled her over to me to snuggle up and she threw up a little, so I sat her up and she proceeded to throw up some more all over herself, me, and the futon. How she still had stuff in her stomach to throw up is beyond me, but she did.

I took her to the big bed with me while Jen pulled the sheets off the futon and stuff, but then she was REALLY wired. Jen can sleep through anything so fell right back to sleep, and I wrangled the wired Punk for quite a long time before she eventually went to sleep (which was tricky for her since she had already puked on several swaddles and didn't have one). And then, since we were in our room without the dark covering on the windows, she was up with the sun at 6am, EXHAUSTED and grouchy and crying and ugggggggh.

I think I slept for an hour total. *zonk*

Also craptacular was that I was on the phone with someone about a job opportunity when the original puking happened, and Jen was shouting for me and I was running down the hall with the potential employer and ugh, I bet I looked /super/ professional.

Poor little Gus. Emma has an episode in which she puked 6 times in one hour. I was terrified. Joel and I first changed the bed sheets, when she puked on the new sheets, we put her in the Pack and Play. Puked on those and then we just stood over the sink. I think for me puking is the hardest thing to watch because it just looks so painful for them. Hope she is better today and that you can get some rest.

Punk doesn't seem to mind at all. Seriously, she yakked her whole bottle all over the nursery and then was just laughing and stuff. Probably because she just tripped her gag reflex or something rather than being sick to her stomach, which is much more pitiful.

I wonder if the extra mucus/congestion is just bugging her belly. She scarfed down her breakfast so fast because she was STARVING!

Not sure if it's a help or a hinderance, but I know milk's not the best thing for mucus or post-vomit.

Well, it's not real milk - it's soy formula. Which, fortunately or un, provides the bulk of her nutrients.

Ugh. My sympathies. Hope you get a nap. I'm hoping for a nap too once my currently load of laundry with diapers flips over to the dryer. Caleb was up from 1-5 last night doing the constant cycle of nurse-gas-poop. Both Halleyscomet and I are way tired today. Poor Halleyscomet had to get up at 6:30 to go to work! At least I can take a nap during the day.
