Poor Little Sick Girl

I've been really lucky and haven't had to deal with a sick baby hardly at all. Reagan just doesn't seem to ever get more than a runny nose or cough....until today : ( She was really fussy ALL DAY LONG and we figured it was just teething. So we gave her some Motrin and put her down for a long winters nap (3 hours 15 minutes, pretty good). She woke up from her nap ON FIRE. We read some books, blew some bubbles outside, watered the flowers and she was acting relatively normal. She even wanted her regular evening snack of raw veggies and ranch dressing. I figured "hey, if she has an appetite, SWEET, bring on the snacks"! WRONG, those cucumbers, carrots and ranch were exactly what she ended up vomiting right back out about 30 minutes later. Poor thing! She was sitting on the couch watching Elmo in Grouch Land while I made dinner but then staring fussing again. I sit next to her on the couch and she is lying on her stomach across one of the pillows (not normal for my rambunctious toddler). So I put her on my lap and ask if her tummy's bothering her. That's when she gags and it all comes up. I know what you're thinking, I then threw up on top of her!! Not this time, luckily. I just felt so bad for her cause she was wimpering that I just whisked her into the bathroom and let her finish throwing up over the tub. She was crying while I rinsed her off, it was sooooo sad. I then gave her a quick bubble bath, that turned into a very quick "get the puke out of her hair" rinse off cause she wanted nothing to do with bathing. I put her in jammies and back to the couch we went so that I could clean up her mess. WELL.....(and this is where it gets gross) Posh had already done the job for me. That's right, our puppy ate up Reagan's throw up like it was a gourmet dinner! Oh man, I couldn't even look at her it made me so sick. I put her right outside and wiped down the rest. UGH! After that we hung out on the couch and she just cuddled with me. Again, another sure sign that she isn't feeling well. She ended up falling asleep on my lap at about 6:40. We'll see how long she stays asleep. I hope she feels better tomorrow. It breaks my heart!!
