my first all-nighter

alternate titles:

"i'm sorry, mom and dad."

"how to not eat the rest of the cake."

"guaranteed to happen if you buy new carpet."

"how to not focus on adoption paperwork."

"why it took me 2 days to get around to blogging about our trip."

as we were still sitting and visiting with my parents as 10:30 pm last night, we heard "the noise."
that one that means you have a lot of laundry ahead of you.
bailey was sick.

my parents left quickly.
pat "doesn't do" throw up.
he encourages me from afar :-)

bailey got sick every 30 minutes for 12 hours...most of the time she made it to the bathroom.
but it was my first all-nighter!
i could never do it in college...i would try and then go to bed at 3 am or something.
i didn't have a choice this time.

and then i went to church to work in the nursery
(i took a shower and didn't touch bailey at all so i wouldn't have her germs on me!)

we both took really long naps this afternoon.
and she has finally stopped getting sick as often.

pray for all the people we saw on friday...i hope she picked this virus up at one of the sports games yesterday..and wasn't contagious on friday! i will feel so awful if we spread it...

and pray for my parents...as bailey was SO in their face last night, "loving" them :-)

and pray for the rest of us...that we could stay healthy...and for the grace and strength to handle it all.

and for bailey...her little body is so sad...(yet she still has a smile on her face!)
she is one tough little girl...
