Worst day of the last 11 months

Seriously, I'll try to keep this short and try not to gross too many people out...but last Sunday we had the worst day of the last 11 months here at our house.  And I do admit that most days haven't been too bad with twins.  We've had our moments and frustration as all parents do but the whole having 2 has gone a lot smoother than I ever anticipated.  That is until Sunday.

Sunday started off just fine.  Woke up, bottle, breakfast (fed them scrambled eggs which they have had many times and love.)  Played, put them down for a nap.  45 mins into the nap Siena woke up crying.  I left her hoping she would go back to sleep.  About a minute later she starts coughing, which was very odd.  I go up there to see what is going on to find her, her crib, and the floor covered in throw up.  I pick her up take her downstairs as she throws up again.  10 minutes later, while throwing up and crying, I hear Aria awake.  Shane goes to get her and finds out that yep, she has thrown up as well.  They both threw up every couple minutes for 45 minutes! They both wanted to be held by their mom (who wouldn't? they were so miserable) and Shane was cleaning up throw up upstairs.  I just sat on the floor with both girls in my lap catching throw up as best I could...finally after 45 mins. both girls finally fell asleep in the family room. 


One more throw up episode after their nap and I thought we might be in the clear.  Oh no, a couple hours later and just 10 minutes apart again, we didn't have throw up, we had diarrhea...bad, like in, trail across the carpet, running down legs bad.  ok TMI, I know.  Just had to throw it out there in case I ever forget my preshy girls were so miserable and disasterous.

2 baths, 3 loads of laundry, 3 change of clothes for me and a long day of miserableness and they were just fine the next day.

2 sick babies at the exact same time is not something I will ever wish upon my worst enemy.  After I got in bed that night all Shane and I could do was laugh at what a nightmare that was.

I still don't know what hit them, food poisoning, random bug but all I know is they got it 10 minutes apart!  I'm grateful it only lasted 1 day though and they're happy and good again.  I was also glad it happened on a day I was home and not while I was at work.  My girls needed their mom.

That picture is so sad of both of them sleeping on blankets. Poor girls, glad it didn't last long.
