Mookie is Sick, Again!

Mireya got over her ear infection, but she has still been grumpy. She is always such a happy baby and the only time that she gets this ornery is when she's sick. We took her to the pediatrician on Tuesday to be 100% positive that her ears had cleared up. They looked great and she had even gained quite a bit of weight. She is now 18 pounds 5 ounces! She's still skinny, but that shows that her new love of food is helping.

We decided to just keep an eye on her and see if any other symptoms developed. After all, it was really only my mother's intuition telling me something was wrong. On Wednesday, I found out that I was right. I put her down for her morning nap and about a half an hour later, I heard a funny noise and then she started crying. I rushed in there and it was horrible! She had vomited everywhere! The poor girl even had it coming out of her nose. :( I picked her up and whisked her into the bath tub. She was fine, but it was definitely traumatizing for everyone involved. Jason had the fun job of cleaning up the crib, while I cleaned up the baby. Then we had to clean ourselves up, because we somehow managed to get covered in vomit too. Oh the joys of having a sick baby.

She must have some kind of a stomach bug. She hasn't vomited since that first time, but she now has really gross, smelly diapers. Yeeeaaahhhhh stinky poopy pants! Hopefully she'll feel much better soon! I'm sure she's tired of feeling gross and I know that we both miss having our sweet, smiling baby around.
