First bout of sickness!!

Well we have had our first bout of sickness. We are still unsure why Eli has been sick because it has been so intermitten. But we were awoken at 5 am to a baby who had been sick all over his bed. We had to give him a bath and put him in bed with us. We called the out of hours doctor and they said to water down his milk so we did and he did fine with that so I continued the day and tried to get him to eat lunch but I had fixed potatoes which he really doesnt like so instead he had a yoghurt. For dinner, we cooked pasta and cheese for him and he didnt want to eat it but he eventually ate it all and then a yoghurt. Boy was that a mistake!!! It all came back when he was having his bottle. It was so strange that he had been fine all, day had kept everything down and then all the sudden an explosion occurred. Well the doctor said he should be fine but to get a urine sample to send off just in case because of his dilated kidneys an infection can be very harmful to him. So we put him to bed, thinking he would wake in the middle of the night because he hadnt eaten much. So we went to bed as well as I was exhausted, having had to finish a paper on the day my baby decided to be ill. But good news is that it was my last paper to write!!!!! Now just the exam to pass, so please pray I get some revision done and can pass it. To our surprise, Eli woke us up at 8am this morning, poor baby was soo tired. Since he had been fine all day we continued today with normal food and so far, fingers crossed we have been alright so we dont know what is going on. We stayed home from swimming lessons to be on the safe side. The funny thing was that after he was sick last night he just smiled away laughing at us. So he has not acted like a sick baby at all, it has been very strange. So we shall see if this just passes. We go for an ultrasound tomorrow to have a look at his kidneys, hopeful everything will have gotten better again.

No teeth yet, we keep checking every morning but nothing. I hope that it wont be too much longer.

I have just put my baby to bed without dinner as he refuses to eat and I do not want a repeat of last night so we shall see how this goes, he is just moaning so I just put him in bed.
