Em's been running a temp since Monday night, but nothing majorly impressive - in the 101's and totally controllable with Tylenol. She slept "ok" on Monday night, but last night we were up more than we were down. At 5:00am when Jordan went in there to see what was ailing our sweet child he took her temperature and discovered she was at 103.5 under the arm. Yikes!
I don't know at what point you start to be worried about high temperatures, but this was the point we decided we were worried enough to go in, so we packed up and headed in. Bless Emberly's little heart she was as sweet as a button and just blabbed and cuddled and cooed the whole time (minus anything having to do with a doctor or nurse).
No ear infections. Slightly red throat. And directions to alternate Ibuprofen and Tylenol every 3 hours later, we were home and all three of us tucked back into bed.
Now it's 10:00am and Em is just starting to make a little noise. I've been awake since 9:15 trying to appease the baby in my belly with some food, but sure don't feel functional. Maybe Em will take a nice long nap later today too.
As far as first ever trips to the walk-in clinic with Em go, it could have been a lot worse. Feeling super thankful for that.
P.S. Jordan and I totally thought we were being all calm and organized for being so disoriented and tired until we got home and realized that one of us turned on our clean dishwasher before we left... still not sure which one of us it was...
