Just keep swimming...

I woke up this morning thinking well yesterday was a bit write-off today has got to be better! Hanna woke up just as miserable though. She was whimpering about her tummy and bum hurting from the second she got up.

Then she threw up...all over me, the couch, herself...fun times!

I was hopeful that might be what she needed but no such luck. She cried all morning. It is so hard to listen to your baby saying "ow, it hurts" and not be able to make it go away. We also realized she hadnt pooped in a few days so the cramps were probably from constipation. I bought some prunes and tried to mix them in with a chocolate milk shake. It did not go over well...she totally clued in to my attempts at trickery and wouldnt eat it. She wouldnt drink or eat anything. At 12:30 I couldnt take it anymore and brought her to the walk-in clinic just to see what they had to say. The doctor checked her out and felt her tummy and said the only real issue he could see is that she was very dehydrated. He said to do whatever we could to get any type of liquids in her and if we couldnt get her drinking more within 12 hrs to take her to emergency for an IV.

I put her down for her afternoon nap but she couldnt sleep. She just tossed and turned and moaned. My husband rubbed her back while I snuck downstairs for 30 mins on the treadmill. I was looking for another outlet for stress instead of turning to food. I did 5 mins warm-up, 10 intervals of 1 mins ant 6 mins/mile and 1 min recovery, then 5 mins cool-down. I'm really liking this increase in speed drill pace. Its not actually that hard so totally I sign I needed to up my game :) 

(not bad for sneaking a quick workout in)

(I was trying to show how sweaty I was but it didnt really come through...lol)

I was doing my best to eat healthy and not repeat my mistakes from the day before. Hanna cried for another 2hrs and I just held her, rocked her and carried her around making sure she drank lots of water.  Finally things got "moving". What a difference. Once she had that relief she was a whole new child. Eating, playing, she had a fun bath and played with her sister...phew!

Total miles run this week: 36.32 miles! Not bad for a rough week...no legitimate rest day...but one hiking day and one run/walk on the treadmill.
