poor baby

Last night, Finn got our attention when he threw up in bed. He has never been sick like that before. When he was younger, he used to spit-up often & by large amounts. But we had never seen anything like this before. Probably nothing special to most parents out there, but a first for us. We got him out of bed, stripped off the blankets, put Finn in the tub, remade the bed & put clean jammies on our boy. He was shivering all over, so I wrapped him in a blanket & cuddled him while we read a few books.

He must have been really sleepy still because he went right back to sleep without a peep - I was worried he'd get upset if I left him alone. :] Go figure. Amazingly enough, he slept the rest of the night without any further episodes. I stayed home from work though, because he still had a fever & I wasn't really sure he was over it. Turns out he wasn't completely recovered, so it was good that I stayed home with him.

Strangely enough, Ronan, Tyler & Macey were all sick last night too! Yuck! Hopefully it will stop there.

Thank goodness for random junk mail filled with stickers! :) I was definitely scrambling for things to do on a drizzly, gray day. Before his nap, we got bundled up & went for a stroll around the neighborhood, looking for trucks. We ended up walking the same route as the garbage truck - so exciting to Finn! And I got some practice searching for backhoes & excavators on Google & YouTube! Now Finn asks for backhoes every time he sees me at the computer. Whoops! :)

Finn got another fun surprise when Pappa Henry came over to deliver & help install our new dishwasher! He was very interested in the tools & "helping" the guys. Notice: Finn & Pappa are wearing matching shirts, by total coincidence. :)

I will most definitely post pictures of our new dishwasher as soon as everything is back in place.

I'm pretty sure Finn is feeling better. He keeps asking for food & eating a little bit. He hasn't really regained his appetite, but he's getting close. We're hopeful that the worst is over & that we won't experience the same sickness. :\
