Happy Valentine's Day

So this is how our Valentine's Day (and Brian's birthday) started, with Evie in the hospital at 4 in the morning. Wednesday both kids were doing well, Jake was feeling much better. We were going to go out to lunch the next day for Brian's birthday, so I put Evie's hair up in curlers and got her to bed early. Then about an hour later she woke up screaming, covered in vomit. And she continued to throw-up about every ten minutes for the next six hours. But fortunately once we got her in the e.r. they were able to give her something to calm down her stomache and she could keep down some pedialyte so we didn't have to go the route of an i.v. for her. So Brian and I spent all Valentine's Day taking turns sleeping and holding Evie. Jake went to my parents for the day and made me a really sweet card, and Brian got a bag of Andes mints for his birthday, and that is as much as we celebrated. We have opted for a do-over holiday in a week or two when everyone is well again. If that ever happens, Brian has it now and so does my dad. Word to the wise, stay far, far away from us right now....
