A journey through the wild ride of being a first time mother

You can read every book on the shelf about being a parent and what to expect with your new baby, but the only true preparation is experiencing it first hand.

Sick birthday girl

We have had a sick baby almost all week. I knew she wasn't feeling well and new there was a good possibility the school would call and i would have to go pick her up.

Of course it happened on Tuesday, the day i didn't have a car cause Jason dropped me off at work and was tinting my windows. I got the call about the middle of the afternoon so then i am freaking out calling Jason and he isn't answering. He finally did and came and got me like 10 minutes later and here we are driving around with 1 window finished on my car, it was pretty sweet.

The rest of Tuesday she seemed OK other then having a fever, Wednesday she still had the fever and was whiny but OK. Wednesday night was a whole different story, she woke up from her nap with a temp of 104 and nothing would make her happy. I gave her medicine and tried some bottle and she just wasn't having it, all she wanted to do was rest. We sat in the rocking chair and just rocked and she was so sick, it was really sad. Her whole little body was red from having such a high temperature. We contemplated calling the ER to see what they said but we didn't. By about 2am her fever had gone down significantly. Thursday she was still warm but you could tell she felt much better. I took her into the Dr and she has a possible ear infection. They gave us antibiotics and said if the fever doesn't go away by today (Friday) then start giving them to her.

So far this morning she is still a little warm but not near as bad. She still doesn't want to eat. She is at the sitter today so i could come to work and hopefully by the time i go get her this afternoon she will be back to normal, she does after all have a party to attend tomorrow.
