Merry Christmas from our little family.
(Picture taken at our small group white elephant gift exchange.)
So, we knew our first Christmas with McKinley would be memorable, but we never imagined it would begin by finding McKinley lying in her own vomit with chunks of french fries in her hair. Whatever Benji caught on Christmas Eve, he passed to McKinley, as she threw up twice more Christmas morning. My poor babies! Benji was achy, tired and had no appetite, while McKinley was sluggish and dehydrated. We managed to open all of our presents between a late breakfast and bouts of tiredness. McKinley got so many toys, books and puzzles that Benji and I agreed that we need a bigger house! Thank you to our friends and family who sent her gifts. After lunch I spoke with the on-call pediatrician, and we gave McKinley some Pedialyte, which she guzzled. Benji surprised us by coming home early from work. We spent the rest of the evening playing with McKinley's new toys. After an eventful Christmas, I am happy to report that McKinley seems to be back to her normal self. Although I'm thankful her stomach bug didn't last very long, I will most certainly miss her cuddling and clinging to me.
