She had one of those sicky colds earlier in January and it was just starting to go away. On Thursday, she slept an unusually long period of time at her Sitter's house, like on and off from 10-4. She was eager to go to bed early, too, but no other real symptoms. On Friday, when I got to Sue's to pick her up, she was very warm and had been sleeping again for the better part of the day.
We brought her home and took her temperature - 102.7! Her very first fever. She took fluids well, but wasn't a fan of solid food last night and today. She did not sleep so great last night - up to eat 2 times. This morning, her temp was 101.1, and she was still quite sleepy. At bedtime, her temp was 100.8. So she was definitely making some improvement there.
About 3 hours after she went to bed tonight, she woke up quite upset. Any attempts that I made to feed her were a miserable failure - she just kept screaming and pulling on her ears. She finally went back to bed, but hasn't had a lot to eat in the past several hours. We're thinking that she has an ear infection, and are planning to take her to urgent care in the morning. She has her 9-month pediatrician appointment on Monday night, but unless she wakes up back to normal, that seems too far away.
As usual, our little girl is trying her hardest to be happy. She played with her toys and crawled around having fun...
She even had an extra bath in the middle of the day! It wasn't as fun as usual.
But a funny story.... She loves her bathtime and the time they spend together makes it Chris's favorite part of the day, too. During her bedtime bath, they always play with her rubber duckies. As you can see in the above picture, she likes to gnaw on them - that one especially.
Tonight, Chris was pretending to chew on it, too, and it made her laugh SO hard. It started out with him reaching for it and putting it up to his mouth, but then she started reaching over and putting it to his mouth and laughing and pulling away, and then doing it again, over and over. So funny! It's great to see her pick up on things and playing games with us.
