the vomit comet

On Friday at 2 am Keira started throwing up. She continued to throw up every half hour for 12 hours. I figured that she had contaminated all the other kids and I have a sister-in-law who catches everything. This meant that I would have to miss 2 very important things on Saturday. Around 3 pm I began feel silly for staying away from these events. That feeling only lasted 2 hours, when Ethan started throwing up. Luckily he is only throwing up every hour. 3 hours after that Amara started. Now I have Ethan asleep on a pile of towels in the downstairs bathroom and Amara on a pile in the upstairs nursery bathroom (Soren is sleeping in my room). I am soooo tired. It's like a Chinese torture when just as you fall asleep you're woken back up. I need a solid nights sleep and hopefully I won't get sick either. Do notice that it is 3 am right now.

Now it is 9 am (Been up since 6:30 when Amara threw up) and Jacob just puked on the floor. Just as I got him all set up, it became a quintfectra, Soren is now throwing up too. Quite amazingly just as Jacob starts puking, Soren pukes about a minute after him, it's syncronized puking. Nothing is worse than trying to hold a baby over a bowl while he throws up. Then after he's done he kind of smiles at you and then coos. It's so sad.

I started doing laundry at 2 am on Friday morning and I haven't been able to catch up. Every 2 hours I'm back in the laundry room washing, towels, blankets, pajamas, and my pants.
