Monday night Jackson doesn't sleep well, but we assume that he is just adjusting to a new environment and he'll do better in the coming nights. All day though he is just not himself. The next two days nothing too eventful happens, but Jackson still seems a little off. Again, we assume he'll adjust. On Thursday Hillary and I take the babies to a free photo shoot for this company called HappyGreenBee. It's an organic cotton clothing company that wants some free models basically. It was in Cambridge and they dressed the babies up in their cute stuff and shot some pics. Lennon did great and smiled a lot, but he was so intent on crawling around that it was hard to catch him in the right spot for a photo. When Jackson's turn rolled around he just sat there looking kind of sad. This normally all smiled kid looked like his cat had just been hit by a truck. We still stupidly assumed he was just tired or something. Friday morning after another night of no sleep for Hillary or Jackson he starts barfing. In the time that it took for me to take Shelby to the train and get back he had puked like 6 times. We knew something was wrong. Poor Jackson felt awful, but once he was in bed we started our much anticipated "sleepover" with Mia. After dinner Hillary,Shelby, Mia and I painted our nails- well, Shelby backed out of that part-,watched a movie and had big thick milkshakes! Yum! AFter teh movie mia fell asleep on the floor in front of the tv. She must have been super tired cause she never does that. This was the beginning of a beautiful weekend. In the next three days all three kids and Hillary had a nasty stomach bug which left all kinds of stains on our carpet. Thank goodness we rent, right! The bright side to this day full of puke was that Shelby and I went to the Salvation Army and got some awesome stuff. A beautiful dress for Mia for just $7 and some really cute black dress shoes for her for just $5. Just when I thought Shelby and I were going to escape this thing he called from work Monday morning and said he just wasn't feeling right. He ended up coming home early from work and sleeping almost 14 straight hours and feeling much better by the next morning. Tuesday we were all feeling fine and Hillary and I went out with my girlfriends. The next morning we all had a new kind of sickness. More like the flu. Nice! Both babies were miserable and Hillary and I felt like we had been in a car accident. Mia also was home from school because she had a fever of 102 the night before so I couldn't send her, although she seemed fine all day and had lots of energy and a regular appetite.
By this time Hillary and Jackson's trip was nearing it's end. They were supposed to leave on Friday and that was just a day away. Where had all the time gone? Oh yeah, in the toilet, on the floor, the couch...oh wait, that wasn't time, that was barf. Anyway, luckily the airline changed their flights to Monday night and didn't charge a dime saying that anytime you change due to sickness there is no charge. A good thing to keep in mind! Yea! We thought, three extra days and surely we'll all be well and feeling great by friday and the weekend will be awesome!
