wow. Today totally went in a different direction than I thought it would. I worked 8 hours last night.. it was almost a 10 hr night but to be honest - I was okay with working. More money on the check.. And I'm sick with this horrible cough that isn't responding to the 'cough suppressant medicine' I'm chugging down.. so I'm coughing like every 5 minutes and I hardly slept the night before.. so I knew working 8 (or even the 10) was a blessing in disguise because really.. I wasn't going to sleep well anyway so might as well make some money ;)
Back to today.. so i got home about 4:30, coughing all along.. to hear "Creighton threw up a little.. so i gave him a bottle and he went back to sleep.." I'm thinking "ok.. freak accident.. too much dinner.. whatever.. I head down to the recliner (I remembered last year when I had a horrible cough like this that I could sleep in the recliner without having coughing fits) and around 5 am I hear Creighton crying.. thinking nothing of it that he will just cry himself asleep.. Nope.. 15 min later he's crying again. go check on him and he's laying in a pool of LOTS of nasty nasty puke.. mostly milk - gag! (sorry..) so we clean him and his bed stuff up trying not to throw up ourselves.. we both have horrible gag reflexes.. so bad! yuck. So i head downstairs to watch Tangled with brother and thirty minutes later he starts freaking out... He was so scared to puke again - such a sad thing to have to watch. He dry heaves a little over the next hour or so.. Adam figures out that our milk went bad a little early.. YUCKERS! so he go buys more and some 7up. (and breakfast for us)
by this time its almost 7. I don't want to complain and i'm really not.. just stating a fact. I had been awake for 23 hours straight.. and to be honest - was NOT tired one bit.. ok ok.. maybe a little tired.. And my sweet husband asks if i would like to go sleep.. Umm yes! haha
Cayden had his 4 year check up at 10. he's very healthy (except the whole pneumonia thing) which apparently is walking... just "slight" or developing.. but we caught it in time with the antibiotics.. But his vision is awesome.. everything is perfect.. :) he's 44 inches tall and 44.5 lbs.
while Adam was there with him, I got to sleep. The new milk has stayed down in Creighton's belly and we both had a 3 hr nap- so delightful.
And now Adam is now at his massage/adjustment.. (mine's on thursday)
all seems to be back to normal.. creighton's playing like normal. I feel normal (except the cough). Cayden's being his normal self. (crazy)

Oh my, that's awful! Poor Creighton, and poor you! Having puking kids is no fun at all! And it doesn't help when you're not feeling well!
I'm not sure if you still have your cough, but here's some things that have worked for me if you haven't tried them...
Delsum(sp?), spoonful of honey, Lortab (if you happen to have any leftover from after giving birth?) and the cough could be being caused by drainage down the back of your throat - so a decongestant could help to dry it up! I think I've been sick way to many times...
Good luck! I hope you get better! And good thing it was just bad milk and not something that would be passed around your family!!
Thanks for the tips!! I'm so getting some honey.. and I think I do have a loratab left over! Awesome! And yeah I'm hoping it was just the milk he hasn't puked since early Monday morning so I'm crossing my fingers!! :)
