Midnight Vomit Drama (or should I say 3:00 a.m.??)

Yes, that is as disgusting as the title looks.  I hadn’t mentioned a few days earlier that I hadn’t been feeling well.  Last night, I got home from the musical “Wicked” (more about that to come) at about midnight.  I didn’t go to bed until 1:00 a.m.  I was (and still am) exhausted!!!

At 3:00 a.m., I brought my 1 1/2 year old to bed – yep, we do the co-sleeping thing in our family.  I DO NOT have the energy to sit up and nurse him until he falls asleep, so I bring him to bed and nurse him on my side.  After nursing on one side, he started to cough a little.  Then I heard a gurgling, heaving noise and KNEW what was coming next.  You’d think the house were on fire as fast as I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom.  I cuddled with him over the toilet and he got most of it in.  Luckily, it was just milk.  Sheww— chili would have been a nightmare!

I went out to the front room and camped out with him on the couch.  The last thing I would want is for him to throw up all over his dad.  Waking up to being vomited on would definitely not be a good way to start the day!

Thankfully, he only threw up once – KNOCK ON WOOD!  However, today he’s had fevers and not been feeling too well – wanting to be held all day long (OR NURSED).  Please keep him in your prayers and pray that the sickness isn’t shared in our household.

  1. Oh! I hope he’s doing better today! Last week my best friend’s husband had a vomit/fever problem and it thankfully only lasted a day. It wasn’t food poisoning because he had only been eating his regular stuff. Hopefully there’s some sort of 24 thing happening with your little dude.

  2. Aw, poor little guy =/
    There must be something going around all over the place because I’m sicker then a dog and I guess my sister is too.
    Hope he feels better soon!

  3. I hope he gets better fast. We are going through the same thing here x 5 vomitting kids! First child started on Sunday and the fifth child at 3am this morning. Lots of mopping, cleaning, and disinfecting done and we’re going to the dr. this afternoon.
