Illness...

We have been very lucky in the 16 short months we've known our little girl. She has only been sick twice: once on Christmas day last year and it lasted about a week, and today. She got sick on the 1st, not acting like herself and getting very upset about everything. Then she got a low fever. While I was at work yesterday, her fever rose, and when I took her to the doctor she had a temperature of 103.5. She has lost 12 oz. in less than a week, but has no other symptoms, so the doctor called it viral, and just wait it out. Clara is so miserable. She just wants to be held and cuddled. She fell asleep in my arms this morning (i was in heaven), but all the little things upset her. Like when she can't get her pacifier in her mouth the right way. I'd call it baby PMS, but now that I know she's really sick, I don't think I should mock it. It has been very interesting to see her reactions everything, and man can that girl whine. She'll lay on her daddy's chest and just whine, not moving at all. All her energy is going into letting us know how bad she's feeling... :( Apparently we have a rash to look forward to once the fever is gone (hopefully tomorrow or friday). Hopefully she gets better sleep tonight........
