How many times..

...can one poor, little girl get a stomach virus?

Yes, E is sick and throwing up...again.

I think this is, no exaggeration, the 4th or 5th one this year.

So, you can imagine you hear a lot of this at our house today.

NO!! DON'T TOUCH ALICE.

DON'T TOUCH HER PACI!

PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THE BABY!!!

Poor Ella. She must think she's a walking germ.

Um, that would be correct. Sorry, E.

My hands are raw. I have washed them a billion times today and so far Alice is not sick. Fingers crossed that things stay this way. 8 weeks old with a stomach virus would be scary.

"Cookies make me feel better, Mommy"

Oh, let's hope so. They're baking now, so I will let you know if my m&m cookies can cure a stomach virus. They're good...but I don't think they're THAT good.

Update -- Cookies do NOT cure a stomach virus. (Damn.) Ella is still feverish and sleeping her face off. The throwing up has tapered off thankfully (the Blockbuster parking lot and herself were apparently the only intended targets today.)
