Our first Christmas with baby Sawyer was wonderful......and eventful! There were lots of things going on. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at Nana and Papa Heberlein's house. We spent Christmas Day at Sawyer's Great Uncle Richard and Great Aunt Sherry's house. We spent Christmas night and the next day at Grandpa and Grandpa Switzer's house. The following day we visited Sawyer's Great Grandmother Gigi and Ki at their apartment in Denton.
Sawyer is 5 1/2 months old, and until now, he has not gotten sick. He got very sick for the first time on Christmas Eve. We had just walked into church for the Christmas Eve service and Sawyer started vomiting. We immediately left and went back to my parents house. Sawyer got progressively worse over the next 2 hours. He vomited 7 times and had 2 cases of diarrhea. He was very pale and was shaking and his lips were turning blue. We were on the phone with the pediatrician's nurse. She thinks he had some sort of tummy virus. It was so scary! He was very dehydrated, so the nurse said that I needed to nurse Sawyer for 5 minutes every 30 minutes for the next 8 hours. So much for getting sleep on Christmas Eve! The good news was that the nursing seemed to help and Sawyer was totally better by the next morning. He sure did give us a Christmas scare! We will never have trouble remembering the first time he got sick!
Here are some pictures for you to enjoy!
