A new first

Last night we got our first real fever. 102.5

Now she's had a fever of 100 before, but it quickly went away and was possibly operator error when it came to the digital ear thermometer. Last night's fever was no error, poor Penelope was SO hot to the touch and unable to sleep. Bryan and I took shifts, so neither one of us slept well (but at least we slept a little). Regular doses of Tylenol have dropped it down to 100.5 so I'm not going to take her in to the Pediatrician (I did call the on-call Ped last night and she didn't seem too worried, but told me to watch and monitor her).

If it spikes back up then we'll go in.

We're all so exhausted this morning...
