Sick, Sick, Sick - Taping Ears

Julia has been sick for the past 3 days, with a stomach bug.  She keeps on telling us that her belly hurts, goes to the bathroom alot (#2) and she's been throwing up.  The worst timing is when she threw up at the dinner table at our friend's xmas party on Saturday... so embarrassing.


Well, it seems her belly is starting to get better, when suddenly, little Josh is bringing up all his milk.  All day Sunday and through the night, he is projectile vomiting after every feed.  He drinks some milk and as soon as I hold him up S-L-O-W-L-Y to burp him, he does an up-chuck all over my shoulder and on the floor.  It was a very long day yesterday (and even at 4am)...

My plan is to feed him in little amounts throughout the day, until he can hold the milk down.  His 9am feeding was 2.5oz and it stayed in!  Hope it gets better from here onwards.
We noticed Josh's ears are sticking out alot so we are being proactive in keeping the ears tight to the head with - band aids!  Apparently the cartilage in the ears don't harden until the 7th month so we can still mold the ears!  Cool.  Wish we knew this when Julia was young.
