First let me say after only 5 days at my parents’ house, I am TRILLED to have a little time to spend with the Hip Mamas!
Next I need some advice. DD seems to be getting sick A LOT! I did not bring our thermometer with us, but I am pretty sure she had a little fever tonight. And she is acting cranky, tired, and clingy like when she doesn't feel well. This will be like the 3rd or 4th fever she has had in about 3 months. (Defiantly her 2nd since Thanksgiving.) I keep thinking it is related to the teeth she has been working on for awhile, but they never seem to break through. I nurse her, she is not in day care, and I give her a vitamin. I don't understand why she keeps getting sick! I mentioned it to her Dr. and they just said some kids get sick often, which I am sure is true, but does that seem excessive to anyone else? Or can teething symptoms last for months? Or am I just first time Mama paranoid here? Any words of wisdom?
Stomach Bug?
It is looking more and more like it is a stomach bug this time. Ugh! This is her first stomach virus. The rest have been cold type viruses. Now we are debating, do I load her up and try to drive her 8 hours back home to see our normal Docs, do I try to fine someone here to see her, or do we just tough it out and see what happens. I feel like I should let it run its course a bit, but no one in the house has slept a full night through in the last 5 days. This whole baby thing is hard, and of course DH is back at home working like a maniac and not responding to my messages.
no advice, juts love & good vibes to kido & you
