Sure. Or, okay. Hi, Rachel. Hi, Caitlin. You're in bed again. I'm as in bed as I could be not in bed. I have a little cozy blanket.

Look at me. And we both just discovered as we were setting up that we're still wearing the clothes that we slept in last night. We are. And, you know, to our credit, it is only 9.30 a.m. We're not like, it's only. It's not like it's two and we're still in pajamas. Yeah. It's acceptable. Did you, you said I'm still in my shirt. Does that mean you changed out of your sleep bottoms? Or are you still in your sleep bottoms?

I should have just said, well, you can only see my top, but I am also in my same sleep shorts as well.

We had a very, very rough night over here.

Okay, tell me. Tell me. My toddler just puked out of nowhere.

And we thought maybe it was a one-off because she, at preschool, they had made, like, pumpkin spice smoothies.

Oh, so naturally, like a little food poison. Which sounds not good. So we were like, oh, maybe the pumpkin just didn't agree with her. Like, she's mine. And then it was the kiss of death, which if you're a parent, you know that she just laid down on the couch and fell asleep, like unprompted, just. Oh, no. And any parent that sees that knows. Oh, fuck. Yes. Fuck. Yeah. To me, it's anytime my son shows love or affection to me and, like, sits on my lap and hugs me. I'm like, yes, gets cuddly. I'm like, he's on death store. That's how my oldest was, too. And we used to, he was not a cuddly baby at all. And we used to be so excited when he would get sick. Yes. It was so psychotic. We'd be like, oh, my God, do you think he has a little fever? Yes. I loki love this. Last year when we all had the flu, my son got it first. And he sat facing me and fell asleep on my chest with me rubbing his back. And I was like, this might be my final moments with him because he's clearly so unwell. But I'm also like, oh my God, this is heaven on earth. Like I love when he's sick. I don't even want to medicate you because then you'll feel better and not want to hug me anymore.

No, so then we like put her to bed. She was fine. And then at nine, we just heard her,

Mama, I threw up. And it was just all over the bed. So we were like, okay, it's going to be a rough one. And then how many times did she throw up in the night? Actually, no other times, which, thank God, because we brought her into our room. Because I just get like really panicky about that kind of stuff. I'm like, I don't want her to choke on it or I just feel like I need to monitor her. So I brought her into our bed to sleep. And I was like, okay, well, this is going to freaking suck. Yeah. Because last time she had

the stomach bug was actually when we were together in San Diego. Yeah. And her and I both got a like vicious stomach bug and she puked all night but in our bed. So it was just. Right. You can imagine. Disgusting. Because they don't understand yet to like not just puke them exactly where they are. No, exactly. It's just, it's all over you. It's all over them.

They make no effort to try to get to a bowl or a toilet. Yeah. It's tough. So luckily, we did not

have a night like that. So maybe the worst is over. It could have been like, you know, a 24-hour thing.

We're hoping. Yeah. My son has only ever thrown up, like, from being sick once.

And then every other time it's been because of motion sickness.

Oh, motion sickness.

Oh, that's so tough.

Yeah. So his puking is pretty limited to airplanes and cars.

That's great for you.

Which is that's how our second is.

That's how our second is. That's how our second is.

She actually got sick on the way home from camping a couple weeks ago because it was such a windy road.

Oh.
