The I Puked Club

[Spark]

Roll call?

I know Alvenchrst is the founding member. Maybe you can be president.

I'm a card carrying member as of tonight.

Anyone else?

Oh, and no : puke smilies, please. :bag: It makes me feel like joining the smilie.

[Alvenchrst]

Oh I'm so sorry Spark! That's no fun. How far along are you now? I know I puked at 3 weeks. Yuck, no fun.

Sure i'll be your president :) I at least feel more relieved about having a misscarrage every time I feel like puking. I'm at the point now where eating doesn't help the nausia, it's ALL DAY LONG! Usually eating has helped, but it isn't helping and things are not starting to sound good at all, I hate that. I also am really nausiated by meat, especially when it's cooking. I have so been craving tofu, i love in sauted (sp?) in sesame oil and in stir fry or in salad.

Ignoring your food comments right now. But, i'll talk about them later.

How are you counting 3 weeks from conception/ 5 weeks from LMP? If so, I'm... doing math, today my period is a week late... so 3 weeks! What do ya know! Maybe it's a thing with us.

So, are you still feeling twin vibes, oh, President you? Sometimes I just want run out and get an U/S so I don't have to wonder this time around. ug. I feel like I talk myself into it so easily. The last two pregnancies with twins/not twins was enough to drive me batty. I'm so OVER twins! :LOL And, yet I fantasize about that early U/S that I've never had before. :LOL

Ok, so this is my Puke Club Entry Letter:

Dear Puke Club President,
I have been nauseaus on and off for a little over a week now. Gradually it's been lasting longer and longer. So far I've had success in holding off my puke with a protien smoothie, but it just didn't work tonight. I was hoping the protein was my silver bullet. No such luck. I fear that things will get worse as they have in previous pregnancies. I pray that I get at least some time each day where I feel well. With my DS I lost about 20lbs the first trimester. With my DD I had breaks in my M/S and I lost 6 lbs. I'm hoping to go the easier route this time too.
Do you consider a gender difference with your M/S, too? How was it with your DS?
Thank you for the club. Nice to know we'er amongst bad-breath-running-to the-nearest-recepticle friends.
Claire

[Alvenchrst]

Claire, OMG, ROTFLOL :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :LOL :LOL :LOL . That was great . . .

uh, ya, i'm counting 5 weeks from LMP (w'ell not really, my adjust LMP based on my TTC chart), so today I am 5 weeks so that would be 3 weeks from conception, ur, did that make sense? So yeah we sound to be at the same time frame, lucky us. :)

Um yeah, I was so bad about obsessing over getting on U/S that I considered faking severe cramps to get in and get one, is that bad or what, i know, I'm sick. Then i found at that usually you can't find out twins till 6 week anyway, which is my first appointment, so I calmed my slef down and decided to wait. :shy It's like first i had to obess about TTC, now twins, what's next! I supose I'm still feeln' the twins vibe, although I'm thinking if not twins, definentally girl. My preg. with DS was SOOOOOOOO easy it took be forever to feel pregnant and this time it's hitting me like a truck. So much earlier by a couple of months I feel all these weird pregnancy things. Who knows, we'll find out eventually. :)

Um, not sure you want to hear, this, it's somewhat like the puking icon, but the very worse is dry heaving. Uggg. I can't believe you lost so much weight, sound like you had hyper-emisis (not sure on the spelling) but it basically mean you are an overactive puker, and they can give you meds for that if you are interested. My SIL who is already very skinny lost a ton of weight and had to be hospitalized.


All I have to say to my Puke clubbers is don't forget to drink your water!

Ashley

[Satori]

This is one club I dont wanna join! I lost 10 lbs in my 1st trimester with dd but I dont remember the real MS kicking in till the 2nd trimester and that lasted till delivery!

[Spark]

Dear Ashley,
I can't hang around you anymore. My Butter Bean says that you're a bad infuence. Trust me when I say, quelching your Twin vibes early is a good thing. I think it's much better to be pregnant than pregnant with twins until proven otherwise... that said, look what I found at an Ectopic Pregnancy site...
"G.P's and hospital doctors may have difficulty reaching a diagnosis because trouble may occur almost immediately you are pregnant (3 weeks) up to 12 weeks or even later. There are many other causes of lower tummy pain."
Oh, Gosh! Do you see, do you see? You're trouble for me. I said I wasn't EVER going to wonder about twins this time... and you're making it catch for me.
See you in Life With A Babe,
Claire

[Spark]

:LOL Just kidding. But let me tell you in my last pregnancy, Oh, I measured FAR ahead, and it kept growing exponentially until I was 12 weeks ahead at one point! 12 weeks! In the U/S of Cicely's profile, there was a face looking right on. There were so so so many things!!! And, it was just one baby. It was so weird living in this world of wondering about twins for oh... 8 months! Ug. I wouldn't recommend it. Unless of course you can happily wonder for 20 weeks of pregnancy and then not have anything weird happen (assuming you'll get an U/S at 20 wks). I'd like for you to have twins. Really, I vote for you! :D

Personally, I think they'd be SO much work. It was really pretty daunting the last time. It was like excitement and Holy $hit! all at the same time.

Alright, back to previously scheduled topic... with my DS I don't think it would have been considered hypermesis, because I never threw up. I just couldn't eat. I'd gag, but there was nothing in my belly anyway. I had no appetite, just constant nausea 24/7.

Satori... Ok, ok! You're not a member! :LOL You just watch though, pretty soon this thread will be hoppin'! When all the popular kids are doing it, you'll want in! :wink

[Geofizz]

:wave

Nothing's come up, but I've had a few episodes after poopy diaper changes and washing dishes.

The odd thing is that I can get through the poopy diaper, spray it off and everything, I tend to heave when I'm washing my hands. :scratch

The pukey smilie sends me close to the edge when not pregnant. IMNSHO, It needs to be banned from due date clubs.

[juliasmum]

Maybe we need to put a sticky at the top of the page asking members to refrain from using the puking emote. :)

[Viriditas]

I'm not a member yet, but the way I feel this morning convinces me that it won't be long. Oh, dear. I thought it would feel like flu pukies, but instead I kinda feel like I'm drunk, what with the head spinning and everything. And this thread isn't helping!

I am the kind of person who will hold back puke at all costs. We'll see how long I last. I also woke up this morning with tender nipples. All kinds of symptoms hitting me today (my 5 week mark). And this is the last week of classes of my last week of University. I hope m/s doesn't cost me my BA!

Amy

[Geofizz]

Yeah for the last week of classes!

My primary symptom is the Victorian Lady Pregnant Swoon. I'm dizzy most of the time.

[Spark]

:LOL You all are funny. Keep posting and you'll make us card carrying members jealous! You know, the grass is always greener...

Alright, so 5 times in 3 hours. Can you beat it, Pukers?

[StarCat]

okay...so I'm not a member of this club, and I know this is sick but I kind of want to be.....I have like NO SYMPTOMS!!!!!!!! I am such an obsessive worrier that I think it would make me feel better if I had MS because thenI would know my hormones are working. My boobs aren't even getting bigger yet....but I have had 2 :+ and a quant done so I know I am but why NO SYMPTOMS!!!!!!!!! maybe I need to look harder for them! :eyes

[Spark]

:hug Oh, Becca! :dust May you be snotting puke soon.

Really, it's probably just too soon. Did you read the M/S facts in the other nausea thread? That will probably comfort you.

[Alvenchrst]

I'm signing a petition to make Claire the new president, whose with me?

5 times in 3 HOURS!!!!! :yikes:

Goefizz, i'm with you on the poopy diapers and dishes, ugh, it so dicusts me! I made DH change DS poopy this morning, it was like pulling teeth to get him to do it, but I was like, it has to be done, either you change him now, or you'll have two messes to clean up! Bring out the clothes pins for my nose!

I'm having all sorts of other GREAT symptoms too:
Constipation
Sore breast
Metal mouth (that's a weird one)
cramps
bloating
Cravings (tofu and soy sauce)
Aversions (meat)
Insomnia, ugh as if I wasn't already tired enough!
Incredible thirst
Acne, great, now I look like a tean ager again
Hypersensitive smelling ability, or whatever


Claire, oh no, please no votes for twins. :) It would be fun, but I prefer to love my newborns one at a time :) We really shouldn't even talk about it anymore, oh, should I add obsessive to my list? I'm getting hopefully an 8 wk and 20 wk U/S so at least I will no one way or the other before I give birth. I keep think, well maybe it's a girl, wouldn't that be great, I even had a very vivid dream of giving birth to a girl last nigh . . . hopefully.

[Geofizz]

Metal mouth (that's a weird one)
:bigeyes

This is a pregnancy symptom? OMG, I've had that in spades since about 6-7 dpo! I even got myself a toothbrush and toothpaste at work so I could brush my teeth 16 times a day. I had no idea this was a preg symptom. I'd thought I'd gotten a cavity.

Anyone know what causes this?

[Alvenchrst]

Becca I agree with Claire, it may just be too soon. Many women have harly no symptoms at all and go on to deliever prefectly healthy babies. I think we all worry about the health of our babies at this point, that's completely normal. :)

Geofizz, haha, so glad to shead some light for you, it is weird isn't it. Everything I've ever read says they don't know why. Maybe someone else has better ideas.

[Spark]

Any more members?

Ashley, are you still carrying your "I Puked" member card?

I am! I hear after 12 trips to the big white telephone to call Ralph, you get a free Preggi Pop. I'm so excited. I should have... oh, I lost count. But I bet I'm going to get at least 3! :D

Seriously though, I ordered Anti-nausea hypno tapes. I do hypno for my labors and pregnancy, so I'm hoping it will help. :praying1: Seen Here (http://www.hypnobabies.com/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=38&osCsid=61483a36f655779596cb438a00e71428)

[selazenby]

I'm a wanna be member. I really am. I am sooooo nauseaus all the time - round the clock and I can't help thinking that puking would give me some relief. I know, I know...be careful what you wish for

Sending steady stomach vibes to all you members...

PUKE PUKE PUKE PUKE!!!! Really, it feels sooooooo much better! I wish I would have puked in my other pregnancies. Just eat something light... soup, smoothie, tea and get a going. Ahhhh, so much better than round the clock nausea. :thumb Give it a try!

Puking... it's what's for breakfast... and maybe lunch... and probably dinner. Mmmm, puke!

[StarCat]

I FEEL QUEASY!!!!! I FEEL QUEASY!!!!!!! :) :) :)

I guess I should count myself lucky...I never really had full on pukey m/s w/ dd either...I do however get congested and I am SOOOOOO bitchy right now...grrrrrrr......

[Spark]

I FEEL QUEASY!!!!! I FEEL QUEASY!!!!!!! :) :) :)

I haven't puked with with either my DD or DS's pregnancies. But, this time it's different. I do have the congested sinus headache gig going on. I've had that all my pregnancies so far. :rolleyes I HATE that!

[selazenby]

Funy. I actually dreamed about puking last night. How sad is that? Maybe today's my day :)

[Spark]

Funy. I actually dreamed about puking last night. How sad is that? Maybe today's my day :)

I actually puked during the night. It was 3:30 EST. What time did you dream? Maybe I sent you puke vibes???

[Geofizz]

I slept way too hot last night, and had dreams that terrified me. I won't share here.

I woke up SICK. I haven't puked, but at this point I kind of hope to. I sent Karen to daycare and came back home and tried to nap. Now I'm working from home, actually getting some work done, while keeping the toilet close at hand.

We need a ginger tea smilie!

[StarCat]

maybe I will be a member soon...my dog puked and I have to clean it up....ick!

[Geofizz]

maybe I will be a member soon...my dog puked and I have to clean it up....ick!
Oh no! There would be no way for me to get through that today! I'm thankful that DD didn't poop before daycare :rolleyes

[Spark]

Whew. Ug. Dog puke. Not fun. :(

Alright, so I discovered soemthing I think important to share with other card carrying "I Puked" memebers. Today while at school, I vomited 3 times. Not fun in a public, restroom, but I learned something very valuable. If you flush just as you begin, I think it's less noticeable! :thumb There's my tip of the day! :)

[Geofizz]

Thanks for the tip, Claire. I actually ducked out of a faculty meeting to go visit the bathroom. I didn't puke, but it was close. Good thing, too, since there were several other people in the bathroom at the time. I was going to post asking for tips on discrete puking at work.

My tip of the day: Don't sit between the cookie tray and the trash during a faculty meeting, and make sure that the two smokers in the department don't sit next to you.

[Spark]

Ah, that's a nice tip, too, Wendy. Thanks! :thumb

Whew, so I've been on a roll today. I've been puking since 4... before I wanted to wake up! It's like once I get started I just can't stop. Sometimes it's every 10 minutes or every 3 minutes. And, then sometimes I can last about 20. But, I just can't stop it till mid-day. I need to go hang out in the bathroom some more.

I'm just wondernig, what's with the whole constant puke thing? Aren't I supposed to get longer breaks???

[Geofizz]

Oh, Claire, your body needs a break!

I'm assuming you're using all the anti-puke tricks? Ginger? Pressure points? Teeny tiny bites and sips? Protein?

Whole Foods carries dried ginger that you can just steep in hot water to make tea. I think that's what got me through the cookie-trash-cigarette meeting yesterday.

[Geofizz]

I was going to post asking for tips on discrete puking at work.
:LOL

I'm going to share in a little laugh at myself. Guess what kind of math I've been struggling with lately?

:LOL

Ok, maybe no one else thinks it's funny.

Carry on with discreet and continuous puking tips.

[Spark]

:LOL

I'm going to share in a little laugh at myself. Guess what kind of math I've been struggling with lately?

:LOL
.

:LOL Hmmm... let me guess... discrete??? :LOL

I just thought it was a mental mix up like thier and they're and there. We REALLy know the proper one, but it all just sounds the same when typing quickly!

[juliasmum]

Hey Claire.... isn't morning sickness with twins supposed to be worse?? :LOL

[Spark]

Hey Claire.... isn't morning sickness with twins supposed to be worse?? :LOL

Go away and don't come back till you puke.

:rotflmao

[juliasmum]

Go away and don't come back till you puke.


:LOL

This is one club I would really LOVE not to be a member of!

[Spark]

Here's the thing, Jen, every time I see a post here I get all excited like... ooh! I'm not the only one! Then... it's just a let down with "I'm nauseas does that count?" or "I don't want to be a member." Well, it just makes me want to say something gross in hopes of making EVERYONE join my club. I'll call it "mine" because I don't think Alvenchrst has puked for a while.

I'm like the lone club member at this point. SURELY someone will puke. SURELY! Right???

Alright, since this is the I Puked Club... and as president/vice president/secretary/enrollment supervisor I'll give you all lurking an update on my puke situation. (don't worry nothing too gross)

So, I've been having reprieves in the mid-day. Like from 1-4 I'll feel like my old self... just give me a nap and I'm the same person I was 6 weeks ago. But, today my reprieve didn't come until 5pm. That was awful. Yuck. I like my midday reprieve. I NEED IT!

My husband did a puke count for me the other morning. I hit 10 bathroom trips in 1.5 hours. I think that's pretty impressive if I do say so myself. Not bad, considering in my two other pregnancies (both with really different types of M/S) I really only threw up maybe 4 times.

So, what the heck do you think it up with this little Butter Bean? Why NOW do I puke so much? Different hormones? Maybe I'm pregnant with an alien? A cute one of course, not one with tentacles, maybe testicles but not tentacles. My M/S with my son was worse than with my DD, so I was thinking this must be a boy again, but then the Chinese Gender Predictor (right on my other babies) predicts girl. So, I'll choose to believe that. So... a cute girl alien baby?

[Spark]

I'M SO TIRED OF PUKING!!!!!!!!!

:yikes:

[juliasmum]

I do feel sorry for you Claire... that just has to suck.

If I were puking that much I would really be unpleasant and no one would want to read my posts after the first few because I would be so nasty.

Maybe you are going to puke early and often and be finished with it all by the time it hits the rest of the group. Don't worry, I'm sure you will have plenty of company here soon.

If I remember correctly, it didn't really hit me last time until around 6.5-7 weeks, so I might have a week or two of freedom left.

[Geofizz]

I'm now an official, card-carrying member of the club. I'm going to stick to being a voting member, and leave all the leadership roles to others.

The Poop Of The Century sent me over the edge.

Claire, are you managing to keep from getting dehydrated? I'm worried about you.

[Geofizz]

Round two was the fault of a slice of cantaloupe.

DH wants me to play soccer tonight. Ug. I dunno.

:w As our first new member in quite some time I'd like to extend an imaginary virtual welcome package...
A Plastic Bowl with a easy grab handle
A bottle of Water
Premoistened towels
Breath Mints

Ok, so dehydration. I've been stockpiling my drinking when I feel better. So far I've been getting some kind of reprieve during mid-afternoon (yesterday I didn't though :( ) But, during that time I drink like a camel. I drink 2 big containers (32 oz each) and then usually manage to keep down another 16 oz before bed. So, I'm really watching my liquids intake with nursing and all.

Ok so this is what I've eaten today (from 7-3):
1/2 of a protein shake

Uh... yup. That's it. It's almost 3 here. I just feel like I can't eat anything. Waiting for the reprieve :praying1: and hoping I get one so I can eat something... I think under all this vomit, I'm STARVING!

[Geofizz]

:w As our first new member in quite some time I'd like to extend an imaginary virtual welcome package...

You clearly have short hair.

Add to the list: hair rubberband.

I'm glad to hear you're getting fluids in when you can. I've also been easing up in discomfort in the afternoons, and now I feel pretty good.

Dare I wash diapers now?

[Spark]

:LOL Ok, ok, a hair rubberband then! :LOL

DH has been doing diaper laundry. :throb Nice man. My reprieve from vomit seemed way too short. I think I made it about an hour without vomit. Maybe I'll get some more time in the PM???

[Spark]

Ok, a gripe. I ordered a Nausea hypnosis CD from www.hypnobabies.com last Monday. The CD cost $12 and then I had to fork over $6 for shipping. YIKES! But, you would think it would show up fast then, right???

It STILL has not come. One full week and no sign of it yet... at $6 for a CD. Sheesh!

I swear I'm going to make copies of this thing when it arrives and hand it out to all the new members of our club!!! :demon

[Spark]

I'm sorry this is just a conversation with myself I realize. But, OMG. I'm so sick of this. I don't want to throw up again. I actually ate a meal tonight I felt semi-good, but mostly just starving. OMG. I'm trying so hard not to throw it up. Oh, gosh. Why didn't I just eat soup!?!?

OMG. I'm so tired of this. Where's my CD!?!? That thing had better cure me when it gets here. OMG. Ug. I need help! THis is awful.

Plus, DH is working tonight (his night off). Just me and the kids. Praying bedtime gets here soon!

[Geofizz]

It STILL has not come. One full week and no sign of it yet... at $6 for a CD. Sheesh!

Send the customer service an email. If they don't respond, threaten to go over and puke on 'em.

:hug

[Spark]

:LOL

Thanks. :sick

[StarCat]

you would think that they would understand that when people order those....they REALLY need them....FAST!!!!!!!

[Spark]

Sent an e-mail. Haven't heard back yet. Ug.

In the mean time, I've lost 6 lbs this WEEK. :yikes: When is it time to take other measures?

[Geofizz]

Are the CDs there yet?

Claire, in my meeting with the midwives today (awsome, btw) they said that a lot of their clients are having good luck with pregnancy tea keeping the pukies at bay.

Have you tried that?

[Spark]

We were posting at the same time, Wendy. No CDs yet. And, yes, I've tried the pregnancy tea. It's just like flavoring my vomit at this point.

[Geofizz]

Ok, I figured you'd tried everything, I just thought I'd send it along just in case. I pretty much talked myself out of queasiness today, and it seems to have worked. I realize that as president, vice president and secretary of this club, "talking yourself out of it" might not work, but without those CDs, I can't think of anything else.

Flavored vomit :yum

If you aren't able to keep yourself hydrated, then you absolutely need to get help. I think going by the LLL recommendation of "getting enough" by looking at output should apply here. :LOL

[Spark]

Thanks, Wendy. :hug I do really appreciate it. :)

I think you're right about the hydration. If I was showing signs of dehydration, I would certainly do something about it. So far, I just try to get H2O in when I'm not nauseas (hopefully for a good 3 hours each day). I'm thinking I might get some Recharge though to make popcicles with. I'm just SO thirsty when it's not my good 3 hours. And, my urine is dark. :( But, that's it. :)

[Spark]

Oh, and I'm SO happy that you didn't puke today! :balloons YAY! I'll live vicariously through you! :D

[Geofizz]

Something I learned with a stomach bug a few years ago is that a big gulp of water can be a mistake. Teeny tiny sips go down and stay down a lot better. I bet a popsicle is a great idea!

[kofduke]

It was going well...but I'm now officially a member. Ugh. And I just got told that a project I did at work was all wrong :rolleyes, I need to re-do it, and I should probably cancel my vacation for this weekend!

[Spark]

Welcome, Kristin,
I'll send you the imaginary care package...

Sorry you had to join! :( Really, puking is gross, but most people say that they feel better afterwards?

I got my nausea CD!!! :banana I hope it works!!!

[Geofizz]

Yeah for the CD! I really hope it works for you... I take it today was no better? Are you still able to teach?

[Spark]

Started listening to the CD as soon as I got it. I haven't listened to it 3 times yet. Hoping to get that 3rd time in today.

Still going to class. I just puke before, maybe a couple times during... off in that bathroom thank goodness!, and then I puke before getting into the car. Puke, puke, puke.

I'm just tired. :zzz And, feeling MIA from the boards and from life.

[marisa]

Oh Claire, I feel terrible for you. I have a 3 yr old and 1 yr old too, and can't imagine what it'd be like trying to take care of them while vomiting so much.
Next week will be my week, I'm sure. I'm almost 6 weeks, and that's usually when it starts.

[Geofizz]

I am hereby submitting a petition to quit this lousy club.

I will be awaiting a vote of the membership.

[Geofizz]

How are you doing today, Claire?

[IncaMama]

claire - have you tried Zofran? my friends swear by it and say that it's the ONLY thing that keeps the pukeys at bay. i don't know how you feel about prescription meds, but i figured i'd throw it out there...

[camprunner]

Today is 7 weeks 4 days and I just threw up today. Last pregnancy I didn't throw up until like 14 weeks.

[kofduke]

Okay - cleaning up a serving of peas that your DC just puked all over the place himself is a really, really bad idea.

[DesireeH]

I officially joined as of yesterday. With ds it hit right exactly at 6 weeks and lasted until I was 5 months! I hope not again!

[marisa]

welcome Desiree! :)
Claire must not be doing much better. :( I was really hoping the CD would come through!

I haven't joined the club yet. I'm hoping, praying, and trying to think positively - I just can't imagine taking care of my clingy kids and feeling sick. UGH.

[Satori]

I have the distinct feeling I will be a member by tomorrow... :( yesterday I felt fine, today i'm trying really really hard not to puke :( Even just coughing is making me want to throw up.

[Geofizz]

Satori, please edit your post to remove the : puke smilie. It makes us want to join the smilie, and Claire asked it not to be used in this thread.

I hope you get through this easier than I am!

Claire, I see you haven't been around for several days. :hug I hope you are getting some help through this.

I seem to be getting close to "senior member" status of this club. :(

[Spark]

I'm here. Just tired. We went to NC (kids, me and my mom). It was lots of fun, but really a bit too much. I'd collapse in bed in our hotel room.

The CD is :thumb very nice. I'm down to only puking 2-4 times a day.

Sorry we have so many new members and Wendy... approaching senior status. Oh, no. I'll have to come up with a new imaginary gift basket.

Ok, I need to go through my 115 e-mails in my personal folder and then the 200 in my other folders. Ug. It's just too much. One thing at a time. I'll be back to post again. I just need to get caught up on things.

Much love.

[kofduke]

Hey, Claire, we just came back from NC for a long weekend too! It was DH's 10-year class reunion. I was super-impressed at all the nursing mamas I saw!

Hope the CD gets you down even further!

[Geofizz]

Thanks Satori!

Claire, I'm glad to hear you had a good weekend and the CD is actually starting to work.

We had a very pukeful night here, but this time it wasn't me. DD brought something nasty home from daycare and started puking every 15-20 minutes at about 10 pm last night. She's napping in my lap on a towel. She's still at it, but so exhausted she refuses to use the puke bucket. We've already done 4 loads of laundry and there's more to do. Poor girl. DH is a saint. He did a ton of clean up last night while I cuddled DD and caught what I could. In all of that, I only lost it once.

Wendy, I'm sorry your little girl is so sick - I hope she's feeling better soon!

Thanks Heather. Somehow 15 hours of puking from my little one is a whole lot worse than weeks of puking from me.

She ate 1/2 a tortilla about 30 minutes ago and passed out. I haven't seen the tortilla yet, so we might be on the up swing now.

I went through this with my little one a few weeks ago....horrible, absolutely horrible.....I never thought I would wish for vomiting and diarrhea, but if I could have taken it away from my baby I gladly would have. Good luck!!
