FINALLY!

After 48 hours of this:

And this:
This was his second time throwing up and he was very distraught that it got on his mat and insisted on helping clean-up.

"Garbage".

And this:
We did at least 20 loads.

And these:
Lost count of how many of these. It's too bad he never caught on that we were purposely trying to get him to drink in the tub was so that he could throw up in the tub. Instead, he would beg to get out, get wrapped up in a towel, and have his head over Mommy's shoulder and then throw up.

And some of this:

And trying anything possible to get him to drink any of these:
After the first few times of throwing up, he became afraid to eat or drink. So...we tried anything and everything to keep him hydrated.

Brycen is finally feeling better today! He is back to eating and drinking and not immediately puking. Hallelujah. Now, if only we could convince him that we are not in Oregon anymore, we are instead, 3 hours ahead and need to go to bed before 2am.

Also, anyone up for cleaning our house? I'm pretty sure that Brycen managed to puke on every rug, surface, mattress, towel, and blanket we own. Can you tell we're exhausted? Haha...but we are counting our blessings instead. We are so glad that we don't pay for utilities (can you imagine what our water bill would be??) and that Brycen is feeling better. Life can go on. :)

Puke=yuck. But I love that the soda can is censoring Brycen in the tub.

Bless you. I hear that motherhood can be a thankless job, but I know you're going to have a great child out of it. I also can't believe how big he is already! You had just barely had him when I left on my mission. Crazy.
