So about posting more Christmas pictures...

We have our first real, major, serious illness. Maggie picked up a bad stomach bug two days before we flew back home. We made the flight home without incident, but I've been covered in some serious baby vomit at least once a day now since Tuesday. She's been to the doctor 3 times this week, twice in Seattle to make sure we could still fly home, and once today to make sure she wasn't getting worse.

Right now my doctor says just to keep an eye on her and make sure she gets plenty of fluid (that means a teaspoon of pedialyte every 5 minutes), but absolutely no food for at least 24 more hours to see if we can't get her on the mend without her getting dehydrated from throwing up or the other one. The picture below is a small snapshot of the wreck our house is in. We came home with 5 bulging suitcases from Christmas. About half of it is still decorating our dining room since Maggie is sick. The cats think the suitcases are their new beds.
