I slept in, feeling sick again, while Nana took Will. When I woke up, she said he had spit up a lot with his morning feeding. Klif had also texted me and let me know that he was sick all night. We decided to go to a few stores and spent some time picking up last minute items for tonight's Cooper family Christmas. We went to the mall, and I was walking with Will propped against my shoulder, facing backwards. All of a sudden, I heard him heave, and then a loud SPLAT, as the whole bottle that I had just fed him came right back out. It was all over me, all over the floor, and a little bit on him. I passed him of to Nana and immediately started cleaning the floor with baby wipes. I then cleaned the little bit that was on him off, and then had to go buy a new shirt. In the bathroom I changed my shirt and all of Will's clothes. We decided to head home, since he obviously wasn't feeling well. At Nana's, I tried giving him more formula, but he threw it all up again. I called the pediatrician and they told me to try Pedialyte and to monitor his hydration. We gave him 1oz. of Pedialyte, and he threw it up, plus a little leftover formula, all of Grandpa. Even though he was sick and throwing up, he was happy and smiling and laughing in between bottles. We gave Will a quick bath, as baby vomit is not an enticing smell, and then we packed up the car and headed to Uncle Mike's in Indy Christmas. We enjoyed visiting with cousins who we don't get to see much, and Will was starting to keep 1/2 oz. of Pedialyte at a time down. Before long, I started feeling very, very sick. We headed out in a bit of a rush to get me home, and Klif stayed up with Will while I went right to sleep.
