in the past 24 hours i have gotten to use the sanitary cycle on my new, fancy washer about 5 times. and not just for the joy of doing laundry, but because madelyn decided to spend the night emptying out her stomach. i finally got into bed around 12:15am (i was working) and madelyn woke up and made a mess of her bed around 12:30am. and then again at 1:15am. and then again at 2:45am. and then again at 7:30am in the living room. and last a huge mess at 8:30am that put us both into the shower. thankfully, she never had a fever and seems to be done.she managed to time it out that i would just be drifting off to sleep after changing and starting the laundry from her last mess when she would wake up with another mess again. i finally gave up and put her in bed with me in the guest room so that at least matt would get some sleep and i could make sure that she stayed under the covers since i had also given up on keeping her in pjs after the second strip down. bear couldn't be cleaned well until morning because she would not be able to sleep without him and his odor kept me awake for much of the remaining night (he took a spin the sanitary cycle first thing this morning though). it didn't help that maddie woke up at 7am ready to go. i guess it was lucky that she never actually felt bad. the only thing i can guess is that she got into something that made her stomach really upset. who knows. i was really thankful for our three ultimate crib sheets because they made clean up a 'snap' - literally! (i highly recommend the ultimate crib sheet.)
she was really in a great mood all day. although last night she wasn't really happy about being forced to take a bath when she just wanted to be sleeping. after a three hour nap madelyn was able to eat a waffle and some banana and drink a lot of water. tonight she was her normal self (she is playing with some crazy squash dad brought home from work in the picture.) yea!
in other happy news, madelyn has a new cousin. bradford james ii (junior) was born early this morning. they are going to call him ford since his dad (and namesake) already goes by brad. love.

Ewe- that doesn't sound like fun. But, as you said, at least she wasn't feeling bad through this adventure. Kudos to you for making it through without an episode of your own. Congrats on becoming an aunt, again! The Z family just keeps growing and growing.
OOOHHH! I'm jealous! Not of the night of puke, of course, but of the sanitary cycle. That will come in sooooo handy ... especially come time to potty-train :)
Glad Maddie's feeling better.
