Poor little Girl!!

Well we almost went a year without Ruthie throwing up. Of course she has spit up, but not thrown up.... until this morning at 5 a.m! I gave Ruthie her bottle in bed because I was so tired. A little while later she started crying again. I was planning on just giving her the binkie and going back to bed. That was until I noticed her hair was drenched and stinky!! I felt so bad.. I swear I never just leave her in the bed with a bottle. I always hold her. The worst part is I almost was going to let her cry it out. Anyways I gave her a bath and after we got out she threw up on me! Then after wiping her down and changing her she threw up for the third time. I thought it might have been the meat sticks she ate because she has not had a lot of meat, so I figured maybe two was to much for her stomach to handle. But this morning after only drinking two ounces she threw up two more times. I called the nurse and she said to get pedialyte and keep them informed on how she is doing. Since I don't have a car my wonderful neighbor went to the store and bought it for us along with some saltines. Poor little Ruthie girl. I feel so bad for her. The worst part is her birthday party is supposed to be Saturday and I really hope she does not stay sick for her FIRST birthday. We are going to drive home tomorrow so pray for us! She acts like nothing is wrong though. She even helped out with the dishes!!


While we are on the subject of her helping out around the house, I thought I would add these from the other day. Ruthie loves taking out her dirty clothes so she can sit in the laundry basket!

awww what a hard day!! I think most of us mom's have had one (or 2 or 3) that has been pretty similar! I hope she gets better soon!

Poor Ruthie! I totally feel your pain, since Miley had the pukes just a couple months ago. It is no fun! but it looks like she is doing well, and is still pretty active, so that is a good sign! When Miley was sick she just wanted to be held for like, a week straight! Good luck and have fun on your trip!

Ohhh... poor little thing. Isn't getting thrown up on the BEST?! I hope she is feeling better, and that she is okay for the trip for Vegas (that is where you guys are going for her birthday, I assume). She looks like she still has some sass in those pictures, so hopefully that is a good sign. Hopefully you don't catch whatever she has. Hang in there!

That is so sad. We haven't had that yet. Poor baby! She is so so so beautiful tho. I just love her. I decided that when I finish the spring term, we should meet up in Sandy or something if you have your car. How was her birthday? I miss you!!!
