To quote a co-worker "being a mom sometimes isn't very much fun" and I have to totally agree. Last night as the night wore on and around 8:30 - 9:00 when he is usually screaming cause he wants his bottle and to go to bed, last night he was coming in and out of conciseness with around a 100 degree fever and was whimpering my heart was breaking. We gave him his bath and bottle and laid him down and waited.....2 minutes later he was crying. As we picked him up out of his crib he was wet with sweat on his back so we took a layer off and let him sleep in just his onesie with his swaddle sac on. He finally dozed off about 11 only to wake back up at 3:30 which then it was daddy's turn to take care of little man. The report from Farmboy was that he dozed off and on from 3:30 to 4:00 and then slept from 4:00 to 5:00 then was up at 5:30 and took a bottle, when I got up at 6:00 I gave him some more medicine and he ate a couple more ounces. He was still pretty fussy and still running a little fever until about 7:45 when we had this......A nice peaceful, resting baby.
(I had to put this little outfit on to make myself feel better! ha)
And when I left for work his head felt so much cooler and he was grinning and talking to Grandma Pat. So I know he is in good hands. I hated to leave him so much!
