Oh, what a night...

[heidi]

Last night, Aaron took Harry out for Comic Book Day (for the uninitiated, comic books are usually released on Wednesday, and Aaron goes as if it were a religious ceremony). And they went to Burger King too.

And at around 10:45 last night, Harry showed signs of food poisoning, by throwing up ALL over his bed. And his dad.

Strip the bed, send them into the shower, start a load of laundry, dispense ginger ale.

Harry went to sleep in our bed after that.

One am, and he threw up again, all over me - including in my hair (ew!). Strip the bed, take him into the shower, have Aaron start a load of laundry and dispense ginger ale.

While I'm in the shower, Jon wakes up for milk - but Aaron hasn't showered yet and I don't let him pick up baby - instead he sings while I finish quick shower.

Jon and I are up until 3 for milk, then I finally get back to bed.

4:45. Harry threw up again, but only on me and one sheet - no destruction of pillows, featherbed and sheets this time - so we're back in the shower but luckily, the laundry load is lighter.

It's now 8:30. He's been sleeping almost 4 hours, and I guess his tummy is empty.

I'm getting good at sleeping while nursing again, so I've caught another 2 hours since 5:30, but I'm going to be offline most of today, with the boys.

But in other news, I'm in today's New York Times. Wheee.

Oh goodness. Poor all of you! *sends restful vibes* I hope the wee one feels better, and you get some sleep!

*hugs*

I never really appreciated how much trouble mothers (and fathers) go to with sick children. This further strengthens my resolve not to have any, but I deeply admire you.

And also, you are famous. Go you. :) Do you keep these clippings?

Only last year's NY Times cover article. They're all googleable anyway...

*offers to do laundry and babysit while Heidi sleeps*

Hugs and sympathies- we had years of vomiting every night, and it is still a vivid memory. Hope Harry is now well again, and that you can recover a bit over the next day or so (storing up your energy for the marathon read!)

Hip, hip, hooray for Heidi!

And thank you for reminding me why babies might be a bad idea -
makes infertility so much easier ;)

Yay that Harry's feeling better :) and that you're sort of getting more sleep :)

*hugs to everyone*

I gasped out loud when I read this because my sister-in-law is sick from food poisoning too!

She had McDonald's yesterday for lunch and started getting sick at around 9:30 pm (almost 8 hours to the minute after she ate the Quarter Pounder with Cheese). She was up all night getting sick to her stomach and with diarrea. I wonder if there is some bad meat getting shipped around the country.

Poor, poor Harry. And I also extend my sympathies to you and Aaron. How exhausting!

Massive hugs and schnoogles,
Elia

Oh, God, I hope not - I hope it was just random coincidences! He usually gets nuggets - I'm not sure why he opted for a burger this time -but NEVER AGAIN!

Food poisoning is terrible. :\ I hope Harry's feeling better by now.

Oh dear I'm so sorry for you all. Last time I went to Burger King they managed to do that to me as well. Did Harry have any of the burger meat?

: nods
Am sure that's what did it. Poor wooblet.

poor Heidi & co.! so sorry to hear about your rough night. hope Harry feels better soon, and hope you get some sleep today.

btw, i saw a quote of yours in Barnes & Noble "book" magazine when i was browsing in there the other day. so i thought of you from afar.

I'm glad it's over and I hope Harry wakes up OK today!

It's nice that Aaron took him out for new comic day, though, and I hope they go again. Comics need more young readers.

Yesterday, I went through my Previews (late) and was happy to see a whole mess of Neil Gaiman books coming out soon. Today, I found that I could get most of it a lot cheaper at Amazon. This made me sad.

1. Because I did choose Amazon for the items I could get cheaper. (at least $5 cheaper in most cases, not just 10%)

2. Because my local comic store has jaded me enough that I wasn't willing to blow the extra money buying the books from them.

Probably by the time Harry is a teen, Aaron will be taking him more often to Borders for comic books than the comic store. Am sad.

Over-sharing, I know. Aaron should get a LJ. ;)
Unless he already has one, and then the joke's on me.

*hug* Wake up refreshed!

love, lore

The joys of parenting. At least he didn't puke in your mouth. I've had that happen.

YUCK

and congrats on the times, very short, but exciting, none the less...

Poor woobies. Hope everyone can catch up on sleep.
