Aimee, I'd call her pede's office/nurse hotline, just to be on the safe side.

Are you going in to work now?

Yep. I'm back with my old team Over There, doing the same old, same old. Been there a month and a half now.

it's the Mexican nick for Jesse/Jesus.

Isn't that Chuy?

Aimee, she's just worn out and tired, poor thing. Let her sleep, she may well need to wake up a few more times and puke again before the night is through. I recommend rubber mats on the bed, if you have them. And try to get a couple sips of pedialyte down her if you can. You don't want her to get dehydrated.

Oh, it breaks my heart, it does, the look of misery on their faces right before they boot.

It's so sad. She just looks at me like, "Mommy, *what* is going on??" She's been kind of cute though - after puking on 3 outfits, Joe finally decided "naked is key" and she's been running around in her diaper. She was rubbing her little belly and I asked, "Does your tummy hurt?" and she nodded.

Probably coincidence, but still. SO CUTE.

I have no rubber mats, but I have the spare mattress pad standing by and she's not sleeping with her baby tonight. And the mattress is rubber coated, so that's good. We had to wash the car seat cover. Yuh-uck!

Naked *is* key, I forgot to mention that, but yeah, we just put Franny to sleep in a diaper, wrapped in a warm blanket. We just let the blankets and mats pile up on the other side of the door.

She's all wrapped up in her animal fleece blanket, sucking on her fingers. Usually she stirs when we go in to go to bed, but tonight - not even a whimper.

In order to asuage my working mommy didn't go to the doctor guilt, I am staying home with her tomorrow.

[insert working person guilt here]

I haven't worked a full week since before Christmas, I don't think.

Aimee, you are a wonderful mommy. No guilt allowed.

I am now trying to find a shuttle to the airport tomorrow. First choice is full. I suck at this whole being responsible thing. Best case scenario, I am leaving in maybe seven hours. I need to shower and finish packing and learn to be an adult. Oh. And maybe sleep too. I am good at loads of things, this just isn't one of them.

Shuttle is here at 5:15. Kill me now.

Shuttle called back while I was in the shower. Message was ... not translatable. I called them and I am less sure that a shuttle will be here at way too fucking early o'clock. They are supposed to call back in ten minutes. This is doing ungood things to my theory of sleeping.

I called again and am confirmed. So I have about five (rounding up) hours to sleep if things go well. Oh please let me actually have a shuttle reservation. I don't want to start my trip with a missed flight. It bodes poorly.

Safe journey, Cass, and safe return. And a lot of fun in the going! Shuttles and flights and landings be timely.

Welcome, Olivia Rose. And congratulations, Cashmere, Christopher and Owen!

Poor Emeline! Aims, I hope you guys all got some sleep.

Have a good trip, Cass!

Loving my new hair. It woke up looking cute. That's always a nice thing.
