Last night at 12:15 a.m. EG woke up crying for the first time in almost a month. She has drool rash that is bugging her and we didn't want her to get overheated so M went to her immediately.
Moments later I see M and EG standing next to me in our room. M saying, "She has a fever." I reach for the baby and touch her and yes, she has a fever. We find the thermometer and discover she is running at about 100.1 degrees. We issue the Tylenol. We begin to rock. EG drinks 6 ozs of milk (she never eats at night anymore), we check and the fever is going down, and she drifts back to sleep by 1:15 a.m. She slept until her normal wake up time of 5:30 a.m., but she is whining this morning and not interested in eating.
We survived. She is fine. I am sure mothers all over the world have done this, but is was our first time.
