Stomach flu and urgent care

Okay, so my last blog entry was definitely not a hit.  I guess people aren't interested to know that I'm a plant killer.  Goodness,  it was only one plant and it was an accident!  Haha.  Oh well...

On to more exciting news.

Isaac and I just got over the stomach flu, and now Devin has it. :(  I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later.  I haven't had it for about five or six years now.  I knew I probably jinxed myself when I last mentioned that.  I am just so happy that it only lasts for about a day.  Could you imagine being that sick for a whole month or even longer?  Sorry women who have had to deal with morning sickness for their entire first trimester!  Dang, I don't know how I would handle that.  I was fortunate to not have had to deal with morning sickness at all when I was pregnant with Isaac.  I'm hoping it stays that way with future pregnancies.

I was really worried about Isaac.  Seeing my precious little boy throwing up was no fun at all.  All I wanted to do was make him feel better and cuddle with him.  Poor guy.

I was also really worried about Isaac when he fell on the bookshelf a couple weeks ago.  Almost gave me a heart attack!  I was even there right with him, and all of a sudden he tripped on his footy pajamas that he was wearing, and I didn't have enough time to get him out of the way.  Blood started streaming down his face while he was crying, so of course I freaked out like any other worried mother would do!  I picked Isaac up and raced into our bedroom to tell Devin, "Isaac is bleeding a lot and we need to go to the emergency room right now!!"  We rushed out the door and ended up heading to urgent care instead because Isaac had calmed down and it didn't look as bad as I thought.  Long story short, he thankfully did not need stitches and had his cut glued instead.  If he ended up needing stitches, we would have had to go to the emergency room because they have to put babies under for that.  I am so grateful we didn't have to go through that!

 Here's the closest picture I got to his injury.  See... not so bad after all.

You can kinda see it in this picture...

 and in this one a little better.

It's funny how sometimes a lot of blood ensues with minor cuts.  I'm very glad it wasn't as bad as I originally had thought it would be.  I really am not looking forward to the day when Isaac gets his first set of stitches.  Let's hope he never has to get any.
