Adam trying on Uncle Bruce's hat.













This morning I woke up with Jared as he was getting ready for work. I realized that Adam hadn't woke up at his usual time (5:30-6am) to nurse. I went into his room to check on him and covered him up. Very quickly he lifted his head up and stood up. After I was done nursing him in our bed he puked all over me, himself and the bed. I got him and me cleaned up and tucked him back in his crib. Then I got the sheets of the bed and into the wash. Jacob slept in until 8:30 and Adam slept until 9am. When Adam woke up he had a very messy diaper. Jacob brought his stool in by the changing table and wanted to help me. He got me a diaper, wet wipes, the cream and threw away his dirty diaper for me. We left the house at 10:30 to head over to my Mom's house. Before we had left Adam messed through an outfit and we changed him into something clean. On the way to Mom's we stopped at Walgreen's and Tim Horton's. As soon as we got in the door at Mom's Adam puked up his breakfast. Got him changed and set him on the floor to play. Minutes later he had diarrhea again and messed another outfit. Gave the boys their lunch and before I could get Adam out of his highchair he puked up all over. Another outfit. Nursed him - then he had diarrhea. New clothes again. Good thing Nana washed his other outfits. I decided to run to the store to pick him up some pedialyte. He didn't have a temp and was acting ok. He didn't much care for the pedialyte and made a funny face for each sip. Jacob was a "Nana's boy" and wanted her (not me) to play with him. He kept going up to her and saying, "ewe wanna play me Nana, ewe wanna play me". She sat down with him and they played with his cars on a playmat. Then they sat on the couch and looked at his tractor book. Nana rocked Adam to sleep and layed him in the playpen. Jacob layed down for a little bit but got up when Hailey and Max arrived at 3:30. The kids were very excited to see each other and played well together. Mel, Bruce, and Mom left to go to Mel's 3D ultrasound. Soon Adam woke up. Hailey wanted to play Londen Bridges so we played that. They also loved when we played a train. Dad dropped Kenzie off around 4pm and then he left to go back to work. Kenzie gave all the kids Valentines cards with animal tatoos. We all put our tatoos on. Mel and Bruce brought cupcakes for everyone with pink and blue frosting. The clue to what they were having was inside the cupcake. Inside was a football candy - Its a BOY!!!!!!!! We were all very excited. Mom made a dinner and she hurried around to get things ready for their Bible study. We left before we got trapped in by all the cars. Headed over to Grandpa's house so Jared and Bruce could work on getting my Grandpa's snow cab put on his tractor. Mel and I stayed in the house with Grandpa and the kids. They all had fun playing together. Grandpa has a small dog cage the the kids played in. Kenzie, Jacob, and Hailey all squeezed inside it together and got the door shut. Kenzie and Hailey went outside for a little while and played on some ice on the pavement. The boys fell asleep on the drive home and stayed asleep when we layed them down for bed.

What a day! I assume from your account that the puking and diarrhea stopped . . .

Well it did stop last night but this morning he's back to puking and much diarrhea. He was scheduled for a routine doctor appointment with vaccination today - not sure they will do the vaccinations today but he'll get an exam. I'll keep you all posted.

Kinda sounds like what Andrew had we ended up getting iv since he had dropped so much weight but then adam probably out weighs andrew by about 10 lb!! Kimmy Andrew's about 20 lb 9 oz at 15 months so let us know what Adam weighs

Andrew is an itty bitty thing. Reminds me of his father a very long time ago. Humm...born 1970. And...I think we will need to watch out when the tubes come in. But...come to think of it. Eric stayed little till at least 8 years old.

Thanks for watching the kids for us. I love the picture of Adam with Uncle Bruce's hat on. Hope he feels better soon.

I can't believe how much Adam looks like Jacob in those pics of him with Bruce! I had to do a double take! Hope he's feeling better soon. We know from experience how un-fun the pooping/puking bug is.
