Ok so the inevitable stomach bug has made its way around the Archer household over the week. Ethan got it first, and got sick at the most inopportune time! Scott and I got several gift certificates to P.F. Changs for Christmas and decided to go out to eat last Saturday night. We had just gotten our food when Ethan threw up everywhere! He was sitting in his bumbo chair next to me, so I picked him up to make sure I had gotten all the throw up I could when I noticed there was poo everywhere, all up his back and all in the chair. I realize this may be too much information for some people, and for that I am sorry! I had no idea what to do since he had throw up all over the front of him, and diarrhea all over the back! Our waitress was kind enough to box up our food to go, and Scott carried Ethan IN his bumbo out to the car. There was no other way to carry him as to not totally gross out everyone else in the restaurant. Once we got to the car, we stripped the little guy and tried to wipe him down with wipes as best we could. He was screaming, not because he was sick but because we had stripped him down in the cold (it was like 30 degrees outside). So he rode home in a diaper wrapped in a blanket.
This little experience was a little traumatizing for all of us since this is the first time Ethan has really been sick. I know as our kids get older, we will have many more stories like this one to tell.
Scott got sick after Ethan, then I got sick on Wednesday night after I thought I had eluded the disease =)
Here are some pictures of Ethan eating his first Popsicle! I wanted some when I wasn't feeling well, and Scott got some that were mini- and Ethan kept wanting licks of mine. So we ended up giving him one of his own. He screamed like I've never heard him scream before when we took it away from him!
