Any Moment Now...

...I shall be barfing. Athena has a stomach bug that has had her throwing up fruit chews and other nasty stuff since about 7:15. She really wants to be asleep, but her congestion is keeping her up and we can't give her medicine because she will throw it up. I also think the congestion is making her throw up. We've changed the sheets and the pillow, and she just finished a shower with daddy to try to clear her head the old fashioned way. She also threw up in the tub... when I was in it with her.

The nurse told us to wash our hands thoroughly. Unfortunately, I think we handled enough barf before then that it may have been too late. And let's not forget I bathed in it. I can't tell if I'm nauseated because I'm pregnant, sick from cleaning up barf, or just sick.

But I feel ooky, no doubt. Looks like our weekend of painting Athena's new room and going to birthday parties and hockey games may have just died.

Well, Elizabeth's prediction has died - she's happily snoring next to me at the moment. Athena is also asleep - she's propped up on her back with two pillows keeping her head up (a trick I learned from my childhood of sickness).
