A day of meetings at work because Jail Inspection, much faffing with paperwork. Missed some calls from M, who finally texted instead to tell me that the baby had been throwing up all morning. He kept an eye on her for the rest of the day, and she kept getting sick, and at around 3 he told me that we might need to take her to the hospital. 

So, I knocked off work, stopped briefly at the store to pick up waters and pedialyte to make sure she didn't get dehydrated, and then headed home.

By the time I was home, she'd been vomit-free for about an hour. She was in a great mood, not acting sick at all, and M said that he suspected that she'd eaten a big mouthful of diaper cream and that was likely what was making her sick. -_- She didn't vomit at all once I was home, guess she saved that all for her dad, who was exhausted from following her around the house all day and cleaning up messes. 

She kept asking for food, so we gave her some plain cheerios and plain chex, and other things that would be easy on her stomach. The rest of the evening was uneventful, and she went to bed without fuss.

Spent the remainder of the evening cleaning dishes and trying to get the kitchen squared away. It took several hours, and there's still the utensils left soaking in the sink to finish off today, but it's much better than it was. Since we didn't have a pot free to cook dinner in, we ate a couple of canned soups. Not super satisfying, but at least it was filling.

So glad this week is nearly over, because it has been...a lot.

Going to attempt to get back into sewing mode this weekend to cleanse this past week off of me. Things I would like to do:

-One more wash out of the corded petticoat, a proper starching with chemical starch
-Add the grommets to the 1830s stays
-Take out the 16thC loose kirtle and see what needs fixing (I know the hem is horrendous and the armholes are unfinished, at the very least)
-Figure out what I'm doing for Baronial College in September

Baronial College may be the last event I get to this year, so I'd really like to make it. I'll also be heavily pregnant again, so the loose gown and loose kirtle will get another wearing. Huzzah! 

The loose kirtle needs some fixing up, but the gown is pretty much good to go. I'm toying with the idea of making new sleeves for it. I had originally wanted hanging sleeves for it, but I was in a major time crunch when I made it, so just went with the Tudor Tailor sleeves, which pushed the style back to the first half of the 16thC. I usually do last quarter, so I'd probably get more wear out of it if I changed out the sleeves. 

I'd also like to have an actual shift, as well as a new headdress. I'm leaning toward the heart-shaped bonnet with bongrace from the Tudor Tailor. 

We'll see what time permits!
