Syd meets Declan

After weeks of prepping Sydney for the arrival of baby Declan (whose name she basically picked out months ago from our short list, refusing to acknowledge any of our other top contenders), she finally got the chance to meet the little man. She was so excited coming right from school where she told her teacher she was going to take home her 'little brovver'. She did not disappoint when she got there as she was bouncing around the hospital room. All she wanted to do was 'hold him', so alas we gave in :)

She thought it was hilarious that Declan kept spitting out his pacifier, and was asking him why he didn't want it.

But like all good plans, we did run into a few hitches. After about 30 minutes of playing with her bro, Syd started saying she didn't feel good and wanted to go home. Thinking she was just tired, we waited....about 10 minutes too long. With her draped all over Kristi in bed (luckily Grandmother and Granddad had just arrived and picked up Declan), Syd proceeded to start projectile vomiting all over herself, Krist and the bed. It must have been a 12-hour stomach bug because until about 10PM she ended up getting sick a number of other times at home. Poor little chicken :(

She was feeling much better on Thursday morning as Grandmother came over to watch her as Dad went to pick up Declan and Mom.
