A Little Fever


We are ending day three of a fever, a reaction from her shots last week I'm guessing.  She is finally sleeping, after a long nap-less day, and is currently fever-free.  I am really hoping for some sleep tonight.  The eight hours of sleep I was enjoying for a few nights have not returned in over a week now, and most of the last two nights have been spent medicating, cooling, and rocking a warm little baby.  If I had known how little sleep I needed to function, I would not have wasted so many of my pre-baby years sleeping.  Or maybe, I am glad I did sleep too much.  I don't really know - I may be functioning, I'm just not sure how well.  Other than the fever, she has been her happy little self, which makes it a shade easier to deal with her 2am demands for milk and cuddling.  I love being a mom, but I'm pretty sure I'll love it even more when I'm rested.

  1. Poor baby. :( Even thought she will hopefully be better by the weekend, I won't be out on Saturday. :( If you all come out to the plant sale I can see you though.
