This past week my daughter has had two big firsts: one good and one bad. The first first that came was the bad one--she got sick. My husband had a cold, which in turn made my daughter get a cold, and then me. Unfortunately, a cold for a little one (she's 11 months old now) also results in a fever. I woke up in the middle of the night to her burning up next to me. Her temp was 101.7. It was the first time she has ever been sick. It wasn't until day four that she really started feeling a bit better. The first few days consisted of a lot of cuddling, nursing, napping, and Barney. For whatever reason, my daughter just ADORES Barney & Friends. Barney was my only saving grace in being able to give her her meds. About 7 times a day I was trying to get her to take something, between vitamins, tylenol, motrin, and elderberry syrup.
It was so great to finally have my baby back to normal, somewhat. On the same day she started feeling better, I discovered her first tooth! That would be the good of the firsts :) Finally! I think she's still working on a couple more on the bottom front next to her first tooth, but she definitely was feeling better after the tooth cut through. The fever could have partially been because of cutting teeth, but who can know for sure. She did have a bit of a runny nose, and with my husband having had a cold, I still think that the fever was at least part the cold. It's still so weird to be able to feel her little tooth. It's just barely there, but it's just crazy. It feels like we've been waiting forever and it's finally here! lol I just hope that she doesn't get a fever everytime she's working on a new tooth. That's mostly why I hope the fever was due to the cold.
Starting the new year off with a bang!
