Stomach bug

A few hours later Niamh is won't by the sound of Matthew kicking the bottom of his Moses basket. He starts to cry rather loudly

"It's just you and me again today kiddo" she says as she cradles him in het arms.

Niamh rocks him slightly "let's change your nappy" Niamh says as she can smell him.

She takes his nappy off to see it very full "Oh dear, looks like mummy better get you into something clean too" Niamh says as she sees its in his grow.

He let's out a loud cry, "Oh sorry" Niamh says as she wipes his legs down."Oh pet" Niamh says.

Matthew goes bright red as he cries and clenches his fists. "It's alright Matthew, mummy's nearly done" she says.

Niamh grabs a new nappy and quickly searches for a clean baby grow. "Yes I know darling" she says as Matthew is crying really loudly. Niamh rubs her head and goes back over to him and dresses him.

"There it's okay baby" Niamh says.

Matthew rolls onto his side and grabs his dummy and puts it in his mouth.

Niamh lifts him up and takes him downstairs as he continues to whimper a little and she can hear how wheezy he is. "Oh dear shall mummy wipe your nose?" Niamh says as she can see he has a bit of snot blocking his nostril.

She grabs a tissue and wipes Matthew's nose. She sits down with him as she feels dizzy again and lies Matthew out on the sofa.

"Oh Matthew, mummy feels sick" she sighs as she feels really faint. She rests her hand on Matthew's stomach to stop him rolling off the sofa and just sits for a few minutes.

She sits still for a moment but then starts shaking. Niamh rubs her head again and lies Matthew down in his mat, she gets up slowly as she can feel the sick rising.

She starts to make her way to the toilet as she feels really sick. She feels the sick in her mouth and sprints to the downstairs bathroom as her gagging reflect starts to kick in.

She doesn't quite make it to the toilet and ends up being sick all over the tile floor in the bathroom. She puts her hand to her mouth once the sick as left her body and she feels it coming again and leans over the sick.

She hears Matthew starting to cry as she is sick again into the sink. She wipes her mouth and quickly goes to check on Matthew and just puts his dummy back in his mouth.

He spits it out and starts to cry again "Oh Matthew" Niamh says as she lifts him.

"There there it's okay" Niamh says as she rocks him a little. Matthew burps and is sick down Niamh's chest.

It makes Niamh gag and Matthew starts to cry louder. Niamh bounces Matthew and tries to sooth him, "it's okay mummy shall sort you" Niamh says.

"It's okay darling" she says as she takes him upstairs.

She lies him on the changing mat and strips him down to his nappy and leans him up.  "Oh your burning up again" Niamh says as she feels his forehead.

Matthew kicks his legs and cries as he's really agitated.  "I know baby I know, it's not nice sure it isn't?" she coos.

Niamh takes her top off as all she can smell is sick, "right I'm sure daddy's still got some of that calpol somewhere" Niamh says.

She lifts him up carefully in his nappy and then takes him through to the kitchen and gives him some calpol.

She fills a small syringe half full and gives it to him. "There we go, good boy" Niamh says as she gives him it. She places him back down in the lounge on his baby mat and goes to clean up her own sick. She cleans it up quickly as it reeks, Niamh cleans it up and then gets her pyjamas on as she feels dreadful. She takes Matthew upstairs with her while she gets changed.

Niamh gets herself ready and has another dizzy spell so sits down and grabs her phone. 

'Any chance you could come home? I feel rotten and we've both been sick.      ☹️Xx' she texts Joe.

Niamh lies down on the bed next to Matthew and watches him.  "Oh I know sweetheart it's not nice at all" she sighs as she watches him kick his legs and suck his dummy.

Matthew looks at Niamh and kicks his legs and tries to reach for her hair. "Hopefully daddy can come home soon darling" Niamh says as he takes her hand.

She falls asleep for around ten minutes before waking to her feeling that she's going to be sick again. She walks into the ensuite before throwing herself over the toilet and being sick.

Niamh stays hugging the toilet bowl for a few minutes before getting up in a hot sweat and going back through to the bathroom.

She starts to shake again as she feels cold but is warm. Matthew starts to whimper and whine at Niamh.

Niamh starts to cry and decide to ring Joe, as it's almost been an hour since she texted him.

"Joe?" She mutters down the phone.

"Hey what's up?" he asks.

"Look are you busy?" She whispers.

"No not overly why?" he asks.

"I've been sick and I can barely keep myself awake, I need help" she says. "Matthew has too" she adds.

"Oh... I'm about to film again" he says.

"Is there anyway you could come home, please" she begs.

"I will ask but I can't be sure" Joe replies.

"Thanks" she mumbles.

"I will call you in a bit" Joe says.

"Okay" she says.

Niamh puts her down down and cuddles her pillow and watches Matthew. She decides to try and go to sleep while Matthew is down.
