Day two

Already having writers block should really be illegal at this point. Still, so long as I keep typing, I may come up with something to say, whether it is significant or not.

Last night the little one had a fever of 102 and it was everything we could do to help get it back down to a manageable level again. We tried everything from stripping her down to a onesie, giving her infant tylenol, putting a cool damp cloth on her forehead, to calling the on-call doctor. They said we were doing everything right and to call them back to let them know how she is doing if she isn't showing any improvement. She was acting like herself despite her temperature. I think I may have gotten a grand total of maybe 4... 5? hours of sleep... but the important thing is that she is okay. This morning her temperature was a little bit better at 99, but it has been a really layed back, do-nothing-but-get-better-and-rest day.

As I sit here, Laurie Berkner can be heard playing in the background and watching my daughter play with her wooden shape puzzle that she got for her first birthday almost two weeks ago. She is growing so fast and it's amazing to sometimes step back and wach her play. She is very imaginative for a one year old- opening and closing things, putting objects into other objects, walking along while holding on the the furniature so that she can just barely reach that remote control that she's not supposed to have... it was hard not to giggle as I watched her trying to put her bitty baby bear inside of noah's ark and working the arms so that it would fit. Despite my best efforts to feed her nutritious food, she eats like a bird and her pants are too big for her so they fall down as she's playing from time to time. As long as the doctor confirms that she is healthy, that is what matters most to us. We are so glad that God gave her to us, and we love her so much!
