A's first vomit

Yep, and it landed all over me. He only did it once--last night as I was putting him to bed. Then he awoke a few times in the night, wanting me to hold him, which he typically does only when he's experiencing teething pain. I don't think he's having teething pain right now, but I don't know what else could be up either. From what I've read, babies vomit easily and will do so for a variety of reasons, and that a single vomit is nothing to fret about. He seemed oddly fussy tonight before bed though. He passed out in no time and was as limp as I've seen him since his first few weeks of life beyond the womb. But then he awoke just 40 minutes later. I gave him some acetamenophen, and now all seems well.



In other news, I'm being referred from one doctor to another to figure out what is wrong with my eyesight. I went to the optometrist last week. She referred me to a retina specialist because she thought she saw the beginning of a retinal hole. I found out today that my retinas are holeless, but that now I need to see a cornea specialist. I hope she figures it out. I'm sick of leaning into the computer screen and squinting.

  1. Nora's first vomit was in her bed while sleeping, around age 7 months. Nora's second vomit was a few days later in the church nursery, all over the worker & the nursery floor. Her third was just several minutes later, all over the front of me while sitting in the church narthex. She has only vomited once since then, and it always seems to happen when she is getting a new tooth.

  2. I was concerned there might be pictures associated with this post; I am relieved there are none. More importantly, I hope A feels better soon and that they find a solution to your eyesight issues.
