happy upchuck day

E is not quite well. She threw up in one of the most inconvenient places yesterday: her car seat. Chunks in every crevice and buckle. There have been 3 similar incidents, in easier to clean places. Don't quite know what's going on, but I assume it's a "tummy bug". She's sleeping now, and has been for 3 or 4 hours. Yes, I checked that she's still breathing!

I napped for a while today too, awoke to a telemarketer. He was allowed to call me because it was to renew a magazine I used to subscribe to. In my ...

...I was interrupted there by a familiar, ominous strangling sound on the baby monitor! finishing this 6 hours later after E is in bed ...

Anyway, I accepted the magazine offer - a 3 year commitment. Not an awful price, but something I don't really need. Why do I do that? I've done a lot of laundry today - just now put in the last vomitty load. E wanted to be held ALL the time today, and I don't blame her. About the only time she accepted not being held was on our walk to the grocery store. I wanted milk for my tea, desperately, and we were low on diapers and baby food. It was a nice day and since the car seat still isn't clean (I'm not strong enough to get the screws on the back off, which lets you take off the straps and seat cover) we walked. Well, I walked. E rode in the stroller. She was so cute - when her sippy cup would wobble and fall over on the stroller tray, she'd reach up and right it. She has only eaten crackers, breastmilk, and "pediatric electrolyte solution". And some baby food bananas. She perked up at dinner time and I let her feed herself half of the bananas. She enjoyed that. She enjoyed her bath too. Sometime this last week I think, I gave her a shallower than usual bath and she learned to lie on her tummy and kick her feet. So proud of herself! Well, David just came home from his trip and I'm going to sign off here. I'll try to get to some pictures tomorrow.
