the storm before the calm

Love Bug is sick. She has been throwing up for several days and yesterday afternoon she started with the fevers. A trip to the doctor shows a virus...of course. It can't ever be something cut and dry and simple that a little antibiotic will clear up. Her fever got as high as 102.8 yesterday and today it was 101.8. But I just put her down for the night (she was ready for bed at 5:00 tonight...she fell asleep on me at 5:45) and her temp was down to 100.1. So that is awesome news! I hadn't given her any tylenol or motrin today, and considering fevers usually go up as the day goes on, I was pleased with a temp of 100.1 before bed with no medicine. Hopefully a great night sleep will help get this virus out of her system!

Tomorrow is the big day! I can't have my baby girl sick on her 1st birthday, and I really need her to be her sweet self on Saturday when the house is filled with family and friends celebrating the big birthday. Lots to do to prepare...
