Hey Ladies!
So Peyton got her 2nd shots yesterday and last night was the night from hell. I'm going on almost no sleep. She had her first fever so of course I was really upset. At her highest her temp was about 38.8C or 102F so I think this is classed as a mild fever...but still for a new mom it was upsetting.
Only had Tylenol so we did that, and I used a cool facecloth on her face and body (we took off her jammy and kept her in her diaper with a lightweight blanket on our bed) Then I decided to give her a lukewarm bath, that seemed to have helped a bit, and shortly after 2:30 we all got a bit of sleep. 4:30 we were up again and I checked her temp and it was down to 37.4. It was also the first time I did a rectal temp! I'm proud of myself...I just couldn't get an accurate reading under her arm.
Anyway, needless to say we are all exhausted today. But now she's eaten, and is playing on her mat...hopefully we can go for a nap soon. Too bad I can't have . So now I have to go buy more tylenol (those bottes are small (2 times for each injections plus 2 more times for fever yesterday and the bottle is almost done!) and I will get baby advil.
On a positive note Peyton is up from 9lbs 10oz on the 23 of Dec to 10lbs 7oz yesterday!
