Yuck.

We had a six hour stomach virus sweep through the house yesterday, effectively wiping out three of the children. Baby L just cried and cried last night from about 10pm to nearly 1am. It was the first time that I couldn't calm her down by nursung her, which made me want to cry. But she refused to nurse. Chad and I took turns walking around the living room with her.

This morning I awoke to a horrible smell permiating from her bassinet. When it smells really bad, you can be sure that the contents are not packaged away neatly in the diaper...and they weren't. But after a bath, she is back to her happy self (well, despite a small cough and runny nose).

I have many, many Christmas projects to work on today so wish me luck...I'm hoping to finish up and post pictures later! Pin It Now!

  2. Oh, no! I am so sorry! It is so hard to watch them and not be able to make it all better!

    Shanna, I'm bummed. I'm going to have my first late review tonight. I don't have the Motherboard Press review ready yet and there's no getting it finished tonight without the kids input. I hate missing a deadline!!!

  3. Oh, Shanna, I hope everything's okay with L & E. Praying here! I know it's always scary worrying about dehydration when they're so little. Let us know when you get back from the dr's.

  4. Linked here from a Knowledge Quest email, and I was poking around and read your Art Studio review. You said you aren't a mom who is really playful...as an "older woman" (my kids are 13, 14, and 16), I want to encourage you and say that I wasn't really much when my kids were younger. But I am so thankful for the fruit the Lord has given from our very human efforts to shepherd them. We play a LOT now, and more importantly, we smile a lot, we laugh a lot, we serve a lot...all for the glory of God. Be faithful! He who called you is faithful!!
