Sleep, I need Sleep

I know. It's 1:43 in the flippin morning. What am I doing up??!!!! Well I'll tell you what I'm doing up. I'm watching The Incredibles for the third time in a row. You ask me why . . . what a silly question. Because my perfect Googie won't sleep. Well it's not just that she's a brat. She has the flu I think. She's thrown up three times since 10:00, poor thing. I called the doctor, because it didn't look like any puke I'd ever seen and I thought maybe she'd gotten into something while my back was turned, and they said it's normal and has been going around. So here we are up at 1:46 AM now. (No I am not a slow typer it really didn't take me three minutes to write that, and no I didn't re-edit it a million time, I had to restart the movie. Don't you love it at the beginning of the Incredibles when they're interviewing the supers? Well watch it three times then tell me how you feel the fourth.)

Anyways, so I didn't mention it in the previous post, but I am pregnant with our second child. We find out in two and a half weeks if it's a boy or girl. But the point is that I'm barely over morning sickness, and I'm really not doing well with the puke. So far it's Googie 3, Mommy 2, Daddy 1/2 (don't ask what 1/2 means, please, it's gross.) So now I need to go and tend to a child who smells like she has marinated in puke. I gave her a bath after the first two times, but it just seems futile if she's going to throw up every hour or so. Maybe I can get her to go to sleep so I can too. So now at 1:49 AM I bid you farewell.

Hi there TrivMom, glad you stumbled upon us over at TftC! I had to get on here and say that there's nothing like the odor of puke - YUCK. Max (my 2.5 yr. old) has a new trick where he throws a tantrum and cries so hard he throws up - multiple times. So while we aren't dealing with the flu here, we are mopping up puke. That smell can really LAST. I'm not quite sure how to deal with it, since tantrums are kind of part of being 2. I just hope he dislikes the experience so much that he teaches himself to stop!
