Superbowl Sunday

We made it through the weekend!  Friday through the night and Saturday morning were the worst and we even considered taking Esme to the ER for some IV fluids on Saturday.  She'd been vomitting all day on Friday and even in her sleep that night.  We'd wake to the sound of her puking in her crib and were having to do complete bedding changes multiple times.  Now I know why we have so many sets of sheets and mattress covers for her crib.  For awhile Esme refused to take anything besides my milk which usually came up within a few hours.  Then we figured she hadn't pee'd for 18 hours and she had no tears when she cried but all of a sudden she let us spoon feed her water, Pedialyte and Gatorade.  Pedialyte was her least favorite so blue Gatorade really seemed to do the trick and she finally perked up.  It was hard not to nurse her even though she kept signing to me that she wanted milk.  I was able to pump and I think this was a good way to start the weaning process.  Still it made me sad cause our nursing days are numbered now that she's almost one. 

We had to miss the Chinese New Year's celebration at her daycare on Saturday night but once Sunday morning rolled around Esme was a whole new kid.  She was hungry, active, smiling, and ready to party.  Allen and I are shocked at how much skinnier she looks though just from those two days of throwing up and no eating.  Don't worry though, she hasn't lost any of those cute little rolls.  They're just less puffy ;)
