Worst. Mother. Ever

Last night we went to our friend's house for Game Night, the once a month get together of a group of friends from school. Just about everyone in the group has kids and every month we do things the same way. Monica and Russ get a babysitter for their daughter and so do Rick and Maria. Mindy and Brendan have their son with them and they put him down in a pack and play and we do the same with Hayden. She's been sleeping in a Pack and Play since she was about a month old, and she's always been fine with it. Lately though she's started to have a bit of anxiety about sleeping in other people's houses, and it sometimes takes a while to get her to fall asleep unless the room is pitch black. But, with Blue Bunny and her Soothie, it usually goes okay in the end. We always have her monitor too, so once she's down we can check in on her.

Last night she went down to bed in the Pack and Play in Mindy's guest room and it seemed like she was doing okay. I turned the monitor on so I could hear her, and I came downstairs. There were ten adults and two older kids, and the noise level was a bit high. High enough that I didn't hear Hayden on the monitor until she was in full baby hysterics. Brian went up to check on her, and when he came down, she was asleep after drinking some more bottle and cuddling a bit.

We stayed until midnight, and she slept the whole time. When we went in to pack her up though, there was vomit everywhere. She had gotten sick all over herself, the Pack and Play and all across the carpet. It must have happened when she was crying for me early in the night before Brian went to check on her. I felt awful. My poor cub ended up sleeping in pukey pjs. I feel better that at least Brian went in and gave her a bottle and cuddled her, so at least she didn't just lose hope and settle in in a pool of vomit, but it still makes me sad. (And no, I'm not sure how Brian didn't notice that she was all pukey. He wasn't holding her in a way that put him in contact with it I guess).

Hayden's birthday is on Wednesday, and Luanne and Dave invited us to their house for a baby b-day dinner. I think I'm going to move the location over here so Hayden can fall asleep in her own bed. I don't want her to be sad on her birthday, and even though I know 9 times out of 10 she's fine in her Pack and Play, I still don't want to do that to her on her birthday.
