Sick baby

Poor Callie has a stomach virus.  We thought we were in the clear after she was better from the head cold, and then two days later she got sick again.  She had a high fever, was vomiting and had diarrhea.  The fever has been gone for two days but we are still dealing with the other two.  We've been to the ER twice, mostly because we can't just call our doctor's office and describe her symptoms, we have to go in to get her checked, and because we are first time parents :)  Luckily we met an amazing woman in the area that is a pediatric nurse.  I've already talked to her multiple times and she actually came over to check on Callie today.  We are worried that she is getting really dehydrated, but she seems to be doing okay.  Turns out these viruses can take 7-10 days to get over, we are on day four, so hopefully she will start to get better too.  Scott and I are exhausted since Callie had been sleeping 12 hours at night and last night she only slept about 7.  She is exhausted, but is napping now.

Oh, your first tummy virus. I know how you are feeling! I know it probably doesn't feel like it, but you really have been lucky she hasn't been sick until now. Trust me, ear infections and bronchiolitis suck...
And my newest seems to have acid reflux. So count your blessings!!
