All clear (knock wood)

Well, we seem to be emerging from the vomitorium. It was a looooong night, but the Hatchling is now managing to keep down boobie-milk (tata-latte?), pedialyte, and plain rice cereal. We’re not pushing it any farther than that today. She’s taking extra long naps and is still a little cranky from not feeling good, but overall she’s doing much better. Thanks for all the good thoughts and offers of help and crack cocaine. We’ll take a raincheck on that last one.

Another Parenting Milestone

Today’s achievement: Projectile vomiting. Oh, yeah. Started at 1 in the afternoon. Continued until we put her to bed at 6:30, since which time she’s been waking up about every 1/2 hour and moaning piteously. Is there anything more heartbreaking than a baby who is so tired she can’t even hold her head up, but feels so yucky and gross that she just can’t sleep? And there’s nothing you can do about it except nurse her and rock her and even that doesn’t help? And Mr. Squab gets so wound up and anxious about it that he can’t even eat his dinner?

No. No, there is not. It’s gonna be a long night.
