My poor little Nathan. He’s had a fever almost all day starting earlier this afternoon. The kid slept for about 4 hours straight. I am not sure what’s up with the fever as he has no other symptoms. Oh, except for that he threw up after he gagged on his Motrin tonight. Noodles went everywhere. It took every piece of mommy flesh within me to not burst out in tears to see my little baby vomiting. I just cupped my hand underneath his little mouth and calmly kept saying, “it’s okay honey. are you alright? it’s okay.” Then he says, “ooh, i spit my noodles!”

I was shocked that he didn’t actually cry seeing as how i ALWAYS cry when i vomit! (not that i’ve been sick lately) It’s one of the worse feelings IN. THE. WORLD if you ask me! I guess i knew the day would come where i’d be cleaning up vomit off of my kitchen floors but i wasn’t ready for it today — emotionally.

For now, the fever’s subsided….he finally was able to keep the Motrin down with the bribe that he could have a green popsicle afterwards. Worked like a charm.
