Sick Baby...Well sort of

Well our luck ran out after 5 months. We have been lucky with Leah so far and besides a few runny noses/colds she has been a very healthy baby. Then last Wednesday (11/20) I got a call from daycare saying I needed to come pick up Leah as she had vomited and then had a blow out. The usual rule is 2 pukes or 3 blowouts are cause to go home but since they happened simultaneously she had to go for the day. She didn't have a fever and was a happy, giggling baby when I picked her up so I decided to use the opportunity to bring her into work to show off since we were so close. Leah did great for the first 30 minutes, then all of a sudden she started puking in the aisles at my office! Three times in a row, projectile vomit style. I couldn't believe it! We headed home, she took a good hour and a half nap and then woke up and was happy/normal again. She slept great that night and didn't have a fever in the morning so we sent her back to daycare the next day and she was fine. We had a good rest of the week and weekend but then come Monday morning I got another call at 10 saying she had puked again. I got the second call 45 minutes later saying I needed to come get her as she wouldn't really eat her bottle, looked white and then puked again. Once I got her home she slept most of the afternoon but for the short while she was up she was happy and ate fine for me the rest of the day. Unfortunately, she couldn't go back to daycare unless we had a note from the doctor saying she wasn't contagious or she had been symptom free for 24 hours. So I decided to play the Grandma card :)  Luckily my mom had Tuesday & Wednesday off work so she was able and willing to come down Monday night and stay home with Leah for me today.

Leah had a great day today hanging out with Grandma Deaner and was happy and playful the whole time. As you can see below - she was a very 'sick' baby :)

Nap time

She loves Peek-A-Boo!

One last side note - Leah's new bedtime the past couple weeks has been 7. It's so crazy but she is tired and cranky around 6:30 now so we try and get her to 7 and then she sleeps all night!
