A scary day...

We are: 5 weeks and 5 days!

Well, I had my first scary moment with Riley today. After her 4:30 feeding she and I were sitting on the couch just hanging out together. I had my legs propped up and she was facing me. She got an odd look on her face and then next think I know I had vomit on my face, all over me, all over the couch, all over her, just everywhere!! Riley had projectile vomit! It kept coming out and she was choking a bit too. I immediately called the doctors. They had me take her temperature, which she didn't have one, and to watch her for a few minutes. They asked if she was acting "normal", which I guess for a 5 week she was. She didn't seem sick, minus the fact that we were both covered in puke!

They said that she most likely had an air bubble in her stomach from a few feedings ago and so all the milk that had entered her belly after that had to come up some how. So, I have to watch her for the next few hours, if it happens again or if she gets a fever than we need to head to the ER tonight. So far so good though. I have fed her again and she was ok. So I am hoping that it was just an air bubble......but man that was scary!!

When it happened Joe was working, so I immediately called him, on the verge of tears. I was just standing in the middle of our living room, the two of us covered in vomit and Buster just standing next to me. What a sight!!

Oh no! I'm sorry! I hope today was better than yesterday, and tomorrow is even better than that. (More importantly, when do I get to see Riley again? I'm out of town next week, but maybe sometime during the last two weeks of May?)
