Why? Because I have a sick toddler. Since there was no sign of a baby coming today we called Nana and Pops to see if Katherine could spend the night at their house tonight. That way Sam and I could have a date, maybe dinner and a movie, without worrying about getting back in time to get Katherine in bed. Since we all go to the same church it works well and in the morning they just bring her to church.
We arrived at Nana's and Katherine was really snugly with her daddy. She had just gotten up from a nap about 20 minutes before so we did not think anything of it. Then as she was laying on the couch, she threw up. The only other time she has ever thrown up was when she was 9 months old so this really scared her. We decided not to go out and stayed over there until she had stopped. She had 2 more episodes. Katherine was so sweet about it. She was scared but kept saying she was sorry to Nana and to me for making a mess. She wanted to wash her hands and felt bad that my shirt was messy.
We came home and she seems to feel fine. Hopefully this was a short stomach bug or something she ate. Regardless, I don't think tonight would be my preferred night to go into labor since I have a sick toddler.

Well, I will take anything before July 25th (deadline before they want to do a c-section) but if I had to choose, I would want to give birth on Friday, July 18th, my actual due date. This is the only day that both my midwife and my OB are on call so I thought that would be a good day. Plus, with giving birth on a Friday Sam would not have to worry about how things are at work while we are in the hospital and it is a good time for friends and family to come visit. Really though anytime next Thursday-Sunday my midwife is the one on call so that works for me.
So, as long as you are thinking of me, pray that I deliver on the 18th and that I continue to feel as good next week as I did this week.

Poor Katherine! That is so sweet and so sad at the same time that she felt so bad for throwing up and was apologizing. Poor thing.
Andrew did almost the same thing to us when I had Corinne. He started throwing up and having diarrhea the morning after I had her. I felt so bad for my grandmother, mom, and Clark's step-mom who were dealing with him. And I also hate that we didn't get to have him up to the hospital to meet Corinne and all.
Praying for you!
poor katherine and poor you! the week before last quade threw up several times and then a week later price threw up. i assumed it was a bug they got at the petting zoo. perhaps it was something else.
quade would throw up and then feel better and want to eat. then throw up again. not fun at all.
hope she feels better soon.
ours lasted a day and then almost exactly a week later they each threw up one more time. so beware this friday. =)
