1st Fever
Well, my baby got her first fever today. This morning she woke up and felt HOT. I took her temperature and it was 101 then 102 then 103! Yes, I was freaking out. I called the doctor at 6:15 this morning and spoke to a nurse who told me if it got to 105 to take her to the ER. I was about to load her up in the car at 103 but then it went down pretty quickly after a good squirt of Tylenol. Her fever broke within an hour of the Tylenol but then it went back up and stayed around 100 all day long. I held her non-stop. That's the ONLY good thing about our day. There's nothing more sad than your little one being sick and being so small she can't tell you what hurts. I'm staying home with her again tomorrow because she has to be fever free for 24 hours. I hope she wakes up feeling her normal happy self.

I am sure it was a difficult day for you. (and scary!) Amelia has been very healthy & will continue to be. You are such an awesome mommy! But what is a nose Frida??? I think I am looking forward to being a Grandma in the not so near future to use all thse great new "parenting tools" you are enjoying. I pray Amelia is much bettr tomorrow.
I hope she feels better soon. I know it's scary when they're sick, but they have to build their little immune systems. Keep holding that baby, soon she'll be in kindergarten and telling you things like, "Mom, you really don't have any idea what you're talking about, do you?"
looked up the nose frida--too funny. Motherhood sure in glamorous, grin. :) I'm always surprised little ones can stand such high fevers, but they say it's normal. I think 103 would kill me.
Oh my goodness! I don't think I would have believed it if I hadn't read it for myself. I just don't know what to say. wow.
