So Amelia stayed home with me on Friday. Unfortunately, she woke up with a fever of 101, so my dreams of running some birthday-party-planning errands got waylaid. Thankfully, Chris came home to relieve me for a couple of hours after his class, so I could still run the vital errands (way-overdue haircut, pickup new carseat #2). She was pretty mopey all day, but with the soy formula, there were no issues with her tummy at least.
That night her temp went up to 103, so we began adjusting our Saturday plans. Team Bambino for the MS Walk was bambino-less. Chris stayed home with her, while I met up with our other team members, Michelle and Carrie. Then, he took her to the Pediatrician to see what's up. Ped said that she does NOT have a stomach bug, because the diet changes would not result in that getting better, so good news there. She wasn't worried about the temp (as long as it is down by Monday), and just assumed that she was starting up a new cold. No other symptoms of a cold have come up, so I'm wondering if maybe she's just teething. Another option is that she's been exposed to Roseola, and it is possible to get that again. I guess we'll know if a rash pops up in a few days.
She was really pathetic yesterday. We ran one quick errand after meeting up after her appt/my walk (S&K Menswear going out of business - Chris got a nice suit for $89!), and she just clung to me, with her head on my shoulder. We spent the rest of the day at home, and all of today, as well.
Today, she's definitely not roasting like she was yesterday. We haven't taken her temp, but I'm estimating it's at least elevated - maybe between 99-101. But behaviorally, she's back to her normal self. Just check out the video below.

Good news, Chris fixed the video camera, so better quality videos are in your future! :)
Oh, and at the Ped's office yesterday, Amelia weighed in at 19 pounds!
