Our baby had her first fever tonight. She’s doing better now, but we’re keeping a close eye on her. Kayla noticed Adalyn was acting pretty grumpy and felt warm to the touch when she got home this afternoon. When things didn’t improve after I got home, we knew something was wrong. We took a quick temperature reading from the pacifier thermometer just to get an indication of whether or not her body heat was above normal limits. When it read over a hundred we decided to call the doctor. The doctor had us verify the temperature…rectally (sorry Addy)…and it confirmed our little princess did in fact have a fever. The doctor told us to go ahead and give her some infant Tylenol and to check her temperature again after an hour or so. Since then, Addy’s fever has been reduced to a much lower grade. She’s sleeping now but we’re keeping our eyes open and ears listening for any signs of complications. I’m sure we’ll look back on this moment and laugh at how concerned we got over a little fever, but for now we’ll just do our best to not panic. 🙂
