food.poisoning.

So, our happy little bake sale plans have been royally thwarted by a fun little bacteria I seem to have picked up at my father-in-law's birthday dinner last night. Yeah, um, I've sort of been projectile vomiting (exorcist style) for most of the ever-lovin' day. It has not been pretty. In fact, it has been sort of scary. I haven't even been able to keep water and saltines down. I was hoping and hoping that the weakness and vomiting would subside, and I would be able to go through with our plans, but no. Not in the cards for me today.

Instead, I threw up (like, a lot) and the hubs gave me a blessing (which brought much needed peace amidst a dark cloud of panic that was threatening to quickly overtake me) and I did my best to sleep the painful day away... Then my little sunshine came into my room at bed time. He was wearing bright, yummy little jammies and a huge smile that told me he missed me. Oh, how I'd missed him. And I told him so. Then, he climbed into bed with me, snuggled into my soft, freshly-washed bathrobe (thank you husband) and we read our book. "The BFG." Have you read "The BFG?" My, I had forgotten how magical that book is. Seriously - magic. It has had us both rolling on the floor with laughter on more than one occasion. Any book that can make such amazing, joyful sounds come out of my little boy is something of a masterpiece.

Not that I don't desparatley hope you feel better immediatley, but yay for your body for being probably hyper-protective of your little fetus-face!!! When I was pregnant with Sawyer I got food poisioning twice & both times Matt & I had eaten the EXACT same thing. I thought how cool it was that my body was like "oh no you di-uh!". Anyway, yay for more pukes!! When do you find out what flavor baby you got in there?

Thanks for the well wishes everyone!

Celeste - I KNOW! There were 15 of us at the birthday dinner and several of the guests ordered exactly what I did, and I was the only one who had a reaction to it! Boo! I had a whole weekend of fun restaurant plans and it has all been foiled! Boo. (But it IS pretty cool that my body knows how to protect itself AND my lil' nugget!)

We find out on March 11th - I cannot wait!!

Get well soon. I have a feeling we will both be missing church tomorrow.
Even on a sick day you look great!

Hope you're feeling better! What a kind husband to help take care of you when you're sick...and what a sweet moment you had with your son. They grow up so fast, and I fear those moments will become fewer and further in between :(
