Alex is sick....he is only 5 weeks old, and he is sick. I just feel terrible for him. My older kids never got sick this young, so this is all new to me! It started this afternoon, he drank about 4 oz, than PROJECTILE vomitted 7 times...it was awful! It was coming out his nose....it got to the point that I had to stand at the sink and let him vomit there. I called the Doctor and he said to give him pedialyte for the next 5 hours....than try formula 1 to 2 oz every 2 hours. I gave him a bath to clean him up, and he fell into a deep sleep, which is good. He has not thrown up again....(there is nothing left!) but he now has diarhea.(sp?) I have changed his diaper about 4 times in the last hour!!!
Any advice??? Has anyone been through this???
The doctor can see him tomorrow, but we are getting about 15 inches of snow tonight!!!

Anyways...on a good note... here are some recent pictures. He really is a wonderful baby, I am so lucky.








Big brother Eric helping out!!!




Hope everyone is doing well.....
