I {Despise} Vomit

We honestly have had sick kids since the beginning of October. They have had runny noses and coughs for a few months. Then the week before Christmas they all got really bad colds and 3 of them were put on antibiotics. We finished the medicine off in St. George and we had one good day with no one sick, which happened to be New Year's Day. I thought maybe this will be the start of a great year with a lot less sickness. Oh, how wrong I was. The next morning we went to get the girls out of their pack & plays and Morgan had thrown up all over. The next morning we went to get the girls up again and Paige had thrown up all over. The next day we were leaving and had to stop and eat at Burger King and Morgan threw up all over there (I felt really bad for the people that were trying to eat right next to us). During the night Trent decided to join the fun and he threw up his 2 In & Out Burgers, a couple chicken sticks, and a spicy chicken sandwich. And why did he have a sick stomach?

The next morning back in our own home, Oakley and Morgan both had thrown up in their beds. Paige's turn was next and she threw up in her bed during nap time. Paige and Morgan threw up periodically for the rest of the day. The next morning miraculously there was no throw up in any one's bed. Yay! But the lack of vomit only lasted 1 hour, Paige and Morgan started throwing up again. Grandma Teri came out and helped out a bit. It is hard to hold 2 sick babies that cry nonstop and clean up throw every couple hours. I was so thankful for the extra set of hands.

That night Aiden said he didn't feel very good. We put him to bed with a bowl and told him that if he felt sick to throw up in the bowl. We didn't actually think that would happen, but we thought we would try. To my amazement I heard him throwing up and I went in and found he had made it ALL in the bowl. It was the most cute, disgusting thing ever. He was so proud of himself for not getting anything dirty. We had to go downstairs to tell dad. I don't know who was more exciting about it, Trent & I or Aiden. ;)

The next morning the girls were still not their usual selves. We dealt with a few more throw ups through out the day. I think over the past few days I have done at least 12 loads of throw up bedding, blankets, clothes, and towels. Along with the wonderful vomit we have experienced quite a bit of diarrhea. Gross stuff coming out of both ends is not fun for the ones experiencing it or the ones that have to clean it up. I feel like I have permanent stench about me. Yuck.

Today I am happy to say that no one is throwing up, the girls are walking around playing (they didn't move for the past 3 days), and I will be getting back to normal things. I will be spraying everything in this house with Lysol to make sure we don't deal with any other sickness for at least a few days.


This is how Paige and Morgan brought in the New Year. Sleeping, crying, and throwing up on this couch. Poor girls...and poor parents. I did have a huge post of things I wanted to change for the upcoming year. That post is gone. All I want is sick free kids. I know I shouldn't complain, because we have very minor sicknesses when compared to others, but I don't know if I can handle anymore disgusting bodily fluids coming out of my kids. So here is to health for the next year...please.

Happy New Year Everyone!
