Yesterday was my 28th birthday (thank you to all those who wished me well) - but unfortunately someone forget to remind my daughter that she is not supposed to get sick on my birthday! :) You can probably imagine the type of day it turned out to be.
It all started the night before when she threw up all over the bed and we had to do a quick bath, sheet, change, new pajamas, etc. Then in the middle of the night things started coming out the other end, which resulted in my gag reflux coming into play and me throwing up. (Yes, it was that bad!) And she was running a fever on top of these issues.
So it was a rough night! But Rob let me sleep in a little bit while he took care of Ellie and then he ran over to Krispy Kreme and got me some donuts. Yum!
I had scheduled my hair cut and decided to go with an a-line this time. I think I need to grow it out a bit longer but I like the shape of the cut and it should be easy to style. I'm not sure why the picture turned out so blurry! 
Ellie pretty much didn't want to do anything but sit on the couch with someone holding her all day. Poor baby. I had to trick her into drinking water by taking a Sonic cup with strawberry limeade in it and switching out 3/4 of the limeade for water. But she did drink all of it! And this morning I finally got her to drink a bunch of Pedialyte. I always worry about the dehydration factor when she gets sick since I definitely don't want her to have to have an IV! 
We had other plans yesterday but obviously had to adjust everything around or just cancel plans. I went shopping by myself while Rob stayed home with Ellie and found some shorts and sandals for my birthday present. Still on the hunt for the perfect swimsuit but I might be shopping all summer for that one!
Eating out wasn't going to happen last night either so Rob went and picked us up some Cafe Rio take out and some Dairy Queen blizzards for dessert and that was my birthday dinner with our sick daughter at home. :) I think we'll have to celebrate for real when Ellie is feeling better.

I'm sorry you had a sick baby for your birthday. Stories of sacrifice that you can tell her when she's older and thinks you don't ever do anything for her....Happy memorial Day!
Awww how sad that your baby is sick and what a present for mom:(. I love your new hair cut and how fun that you had some cafe rio and Dairy Queen for your birthday meal. Happy Birthday Gir!!!!
Happy Birthday! Sick kids are always no fun :P BUt Cafe Rio is always the best!-Where's Krispy Kreme-I thought they closed them all in AZ?!
Happy Birthday! I wish we lived closer so that we could have done the annual pedicure. And I guess it might help if Andrew had a job too. :) Minor details. Anyway, when he does finally have a steady paycheck - I will come out there and we can go for your annual "birthday pedicure" (my treat!) Sick kids on special occasions are inevitable. And your right - avoid the IV situation as LONG as possible. We had to get one done for Emily and I almost passed out. Never a good thing!
happy bbirthday! that sucks that ellie was sick. i hope she feels better now. and i'm a terrible frriend because i didn't even call...
Happy belated birthday, Lachelle and I'm sorry your sweet baby is sick! Both my girls are sick with the same exact thing. At least you look gorgeous :)
I know how frustrating having sick kids can be, especially when you had fun stuff planned. I had to cancel over an entire week full of fun stuff.. I just had to make myself be okay with it, and once I did that, we've actually been having quite a bit of fun, cuddling and watching movies together. Of course, the spewing out both ends is no fun but everything else has been kinda cool. :)
I'm not the only one who gags at my child's bodily functions?! That makes me feel better but I am sorry to hear Ellie was so sick. I hope she is better and Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday! We are like the exact same age (I turned 28 on May 7th)! Sorry Ellie was sick...that stinks!
Happy Birthday! Welcome to 28! Sounds like it was a pretty good day even with Ellie sick (Cafe Rio is always good)...and even better that you have an excuse to celebrate again!
Happy (belated) bday! Hope Ellie is on the mend! And good luck with your new job! Your haircut looks great!
Wow you are getting so old! (tease) Happy Birthday. That is really too bad about your sick baby! Your hair is really, really cute!
Happy Birthday! I bet your hair is adorable as an a-line. The picture was a bit blurry, but I can see it. And I must say that picture of Ellie asleep on the couch is too precious!! Good luck with school and work-are you going for the supermom award or what!!
Hi, Lachelle! I've tagged you on my blog. Come check it out for the details. :)
