Sick Baby :(

Today was not a great day for us. It was a beautiful day out so we decided to go out as a family. We got ready and packed Jude up and drove to Bridgeport. It took us 25 minutes to park and we finally got Jude into the backpack and hoisted him up on daddy. We made it about 10 minutes around the mall and Jude started throwing up all over daddy. He didn't stop so we rushed back to the car (yes, drenched in throw up), and drove to grandma's since she lives across the street from his doctor (just in case). We never had to call the doctor, thankfully but when we got to grandma's, he looked awful and continues puking. She stripped him down and wrapped him up in a cozy blankie that he later on puked all over. She had us run to Old Navy to get him a comfy outfit as she gave him a (not so) soothing bath. He threw up and did not want to be in there. He just wanted to be held and when mommy and daddy got back like ten minutes later, he barely even noticed. It was so sad! He was so out of it. So he fell asleep for a little while until he woke back up to throw up some more. We cleaned him and dressed him and realized this was an end to our day and headed home. When we got home, of course, he threw up some more and wasn't holding any liquids down. It broke my heart cuddling my poor sick baby but it felt nice to hold him tight through his pain. He didn't leave my arms the whole day until later on he decided he wanted some water. After drinking that, he was hungry and I tried some milk, he took that well and then came the worse diaper in the world! After stinking up the whole house, he was feeling much better. He had another bottle and went down for bed in his co-sleeper (I still want to keep an eye on him). It was a rough and sad day but we made it through our first sick day with prayer, cuddling, and just plain and simple mommy-baby love.
