Baby's First Fever :-(

My poor little darling is sick. Last night she became hot to the touch, and we took her temperature- it was around 102. :-( She was stuffy, congested, and glassy-eyed. She slept on my chest last night, I slept sort of sitting up so that she could breathe. This morning she seemed better, but as the day wore on the fever kept going up (despite the Motrin) so I called the pediatrician and we went for a visit. Since she'd had such a high fever today (103.7) they tested her for a urinary tract infection and took some blood- everything is within normal limits. So... looks like we have to wait this one out. The good news is that we know it's NOT a UTI, which apparently can be very painful and hard to treat in little girls. We'll just have another easy day tomorrow and rest up so hopefully she's better by Saturday for her uncle's birthday party!

Here are some cute pictures of her from three days ago, before she got sick! These were taken in the morning, right after her breakfast.

The new pictures are great - definitely frameable!

Poor little girl. It's awful when they feel bad and you can't do anything to fix it. I hope she feels better soon!

Poor baby girl. We are thinking of you all. The first fever is always a tough one for baby and parents. Hey, even for grandparents!
