Welcome to the Smith's 4 day weekend. We had hoped to catch up on sleep and spend quality time together. However, the 4 day weekend turned into 3 and the quality time together was spent on the bathroom floor. "The Bug" had hit me hard by 2am Saturday or earlier. All I know is everything came up from the last 24hrs even the water I kept drinking to rehydrate. Will walked in to the bathroom to check on me and it wasn't too long after he was feeling queasy too and lay beside me. Thankfully, he wasn't projecting and was able to take care of Ailish. By mid morning I was able to hold down water and apple sauce, but was weak as could be. Will and Ailish did a Gatorade and jello run to replenish my empty weak self. Will hadn't slept since I had first woke up. So, I manage to give him a half hour break from Ailish so he could rest. Needless to say we were exhausted and she wasn't about to take a nap. We are grateful she was able to sleep that night and by God grace not catch "The Bug."
Sunday night Ailish woke up hungry and I woke up tired. Somehow while feeding her I manage not to let go. Then there was this morning. Three to be exact. She woke up starving. I say starving because she ate until 6am! We were then able to put her back down for an hour. You guessed it and was up again to eat. Somewhere before 8:30am we both fell asleep on the couch. Fully, exhausted we headed to MOPS and was blessed with the encouragement of the speakers (Chaplain and his wife). And here I write as Ailish refuses to nap. So, I must go and try to calm her.
