Landon experienced his first ever sickness last week. Let me tell ya, it was NOT fun! Especially considering I was sick too.
It all started Saturday (a week ago) night. We did some work around the house and it was a generally busy weekend. We are trying frantically to get the basement finished before the first of the year. Landon spent the day at Nana's house so Scott and I could get some painting done. When we picked him up, Nana reported that he had a good day, other than a little fussiness. We chalked it up to possibly teething, since it seems like he's been getting teeth non-stop since the first one at 5 months old. We got home just in time for dinner. He ate his normal jar of organic veggies and had a 7 ounce bottle. All was well....until....I tried to burp him. Instead of a burp I was covered in projectile vomit. Now when I say covered, I'm being literal. It all happened so fast. One minute I was gently patting his back and the next I had baby barf all over my face, hair, down the front and back of my shirt...you get the point. I said, "OH MY GOSH!" and Scott came running in to the room. By then I was laughing hysterically. I still have no idea why I reacted with laughter but I'm really glad I did. He took Landon so I could get to the shower. I nearly barfed while stripping my shirt over my head. We had no idea Landon was sick. I thought maybe he just choked or something. The next day this trend continued and he started having some pretty nasty diapers. Sunday evening I started feeling yucky too. I stayed home from work Monday and my Momma came over to take care of Landon. That was a HUGE blessing! It took until Thursday before Landon and I were finally feeling better! Amazingly, Scott dodged the sickness. Moral of this story: If your baby pukes all over you, it isn't the end of the world, but it may get you sick too.
