The First ER Visit



Last night we took Baby G to the ER for the first time.

After several hours of vomiting & not being able to keep even milk in her tummy, we decided to head to the hospital. I was so worried that she would be dehydrated.

We arrived in the ER around midnight, and were home by 5am. Definitely a long & sluggish night, but our little girl is doing just fine. (Thankfully I brought our ring sling & wore Gretchen as she napped against my chest in the waiting room.) They figure she just had a bit of a tummy virus, but eventually she was able to keep milk down & has been feeling fine all day.

Thanks to everyone who sent supportive tweets & messages! We truly appreciate all the love.

Oh how scary Desiree! I am glad that the little Miss is doing better. These little ones sure can throw us for a loop eh?

That dear little G is the most precious sick baby girl ... she had such big smiles, all the while being so tummy-sick.
I am sososososo happy she ended up being well.
