You may remember from my post earlier in the week that Will recently got over a week long gatrointestinal virus resulting in very messy diarrhea. Well, I guess we just have really bad luck because he's got it again. The only difference this time is that he has a low grade fever. I couldn't feel worse for him. Last night he was perfectly fine, and then he had the largest diarrhea diaper and maybe an hour later he threw up. He was clearly not feeling well because he was ready for bed at 7:30. Then (as was the case frequently with the last bout) we were awakened by his cries at 1 am to find him soaked in diarrhea. Poor little guy. We had to change his diaper, clothes and sheets but instead of a new sleeper and new sheet I could only dress him in a onsie and sweat pants and lay down a blanket in his crib because our washer is not draining properly and I can't keep up with the laundry. I guess I should be more prepared this time to deal with these troubles since I just went through this. These are the moments when you truly earn your "badge of honor" as a parent. I suppose you get several when you have multiple children, all sick at the same time. Lord, prepare me now!
Here's a miserable little boy ready for a nap at 9 (2 hours earlier than normal).
Within minutes he was out.
He's now sleeping again. I know how he feels. When I'm not feeling well all I wanna do is sleep. I truly hope this doesn't last as long as before.
On a lighter note, my 30th birthday went really well. I got so many well wishes and was surrounded by several people I love. Who could ask for more? Rodney got us tickets to Madame Butterfly at Opera Theater Saint Louis in June and coordinated a little surprise cake gathering while Sarah took me out to dinner at Bar Louie. It was a great day. Thanks to all who sent me cards and birthday well-wishes. I'll close with a picture of a lovely pot of flowers that gave Anna me.

So sorry to hear Will is not feeling well. A sick baby is no fun:( I hope he get's to feeling better soon.
I'm so sorry poor little Will has been so sick. It's been a "sick" winter here, too! Somebody's been sick from Thanksgiving until now. Rowan just had a double ear infection and maybe a touch of the flu...I had to get him shots of antibiotic because he wouldn't take them orally (he threw it up every time!). Now, I've got it. Oh well. I'm really ready for spring! Glad your birthday was so nice. Andrew just took me to see Erica Livingston (we stayed with her in NYC?) in The Great American Trailer Park Musical for my birthday. We even braved a snowstorm to get there... It was a good time. Anyway, I hope everyone starts to get healthy again there! Love you!
