Rice Cereal and Fever

Well this past week has just flown by! Here are some pictures...

We tried rice cereal with her on Sunday night. Bryan was super excited to feed her so I let him do it. After a few spoons full of cereal making it to her mouth, but then coming back out of her mouth, he said that it was enough for that night. I explained to him that she just needs to practice the act of eating and get good at it. The next morning I fed her and she got a little more down. Practice makes perfect!

After I fed her the cereal I nursed her and she fell right back to sleep (which was unusual for her), I felt her head and she felt warm so I took her temperature and it was 101.7! I had Tylenol to give her, but felt that I should call her doctor first. I left a message with a nurse and kept taking her temperature every couple minutes. I'm a little paranoid about fevers because when my sister was a baby her fever shot up too quickly and she ended up having a seizure. After fifteen minutes her temperature was now 102.8 and I still had not heard back from the nurse, so I call back and talked to a nurse she told me to go ahead and give her Tylenol and to bring her in tomorrow for a check-up to see what's going on.

This morning we spent over two hours at the doctors office getting blood work, urine tests, flu test and ears checked...everything came back normal! So basically she has a little virus that will just run its course. She still has a slight fever today so we are just hanging out and taking it easy.
