A mother's gilt.

Yesterday evening and last night, Reid has been throwing up, and I am to blame. Yesterday evening I feed him some things I maybe should not have. Let me preface this by saying Reid loves food, and he loves ALL food! I have yet to find something that this child does not like. So far, the only thing that he is not crazy about is strawberries, but he is coming around. So, last night I decided to saute some fresh spinach and puree up for him, (which I have done before), but this time I thought, hmm lets put some ricotta cheese with it. He LOVED it and gobbled it all down! He was screaming for more and I had none, so I looked in the fridge and saw some hummus that Andy had made a couple of nights before and decided to give him some of that. Andy had given him a spoon full earlier in the week and liked it, so I thought, no worries, I will just give him more of that. So, eventually Reid was full and it was time for a bath. Andy was at the gym, so I gave him a bath. As soon as I got his jammies on the barfing (excuse the horrible sound of that word, but it fits the story the best), began, spinach and all! I am not for sure if it was the combination of food he consumed or the several dunks in the tub (mouth full of water), or all of the above, that started a night of changing sheets. So, I changed his clothes, nursed him then put him to bed. A couple of hours later, Andy went in to check on the screaming baby and the crib sheet and Reid's face and head were covered in what looked like pesto! So we cleaned up, nursed and held him on the couch for an hour, then he fell back a sleep. Five hours later, he woke up again to a face full and dirty crib and walls. So since 5:00am this morning, he has kept everything down, we are just giving him a little milk at a time so it does not come back up. You would think he would be really upset, but he is as happy as a clam, with no temperature or crankiness. We are just worried about dehydration and monitoring him closely, but so far he is great! He still wants to eat and play, but we are trying to keep the jumping and rough housing to a minimum until he can go several feedings keeping everything down.
I feel horrible that I contributed to his upset stomach, but am I glad that he acts like nothing is wrong. That makes me feel a little better about the whole situation.
