Hey fellow mommies! Sorry I have been such a slacker on my posting lately. It's been a little crazy around the Caldwell house, as I'm sure you can all relate to. We had a pretty exciting weekend: Laine turned 10 months the day before I turned 26. To celebrate, Laine woke up Saturday morning with a fever of 102.4! As soon as I picked her up from her crib that morning I could feel how hot she was and of course I freaked out when I saw that number on the thermometer! We called the nurse line and were told to take her into urgent care or the E.R. They reassured us that it was probably just a virus or some kind of infection, both of which were easily treatable. But of course I was still worried! Unfortunately, I had rehearsal that morning and Joe had to take her by himself. I felt so guilty not going, but of course Joe handled everything just fine. Long story short, she probably just has a UTI, so they gave her a huge shot and a prescription for antibiotics. The hardest part was that she was just SO not herself the whole day. Usually she is talkative and cheerful and independent, but she was obviously in pain and miserable. It broke my heart! But the good news is that the antibiotics seem to be working their magic and she was back to acting like herself this morning. It is such a stressful thing to have a sick little one... all you want to do is take the pain from them and it is hard to be unable to do anything.
Also, I wrote Laine another letter for her 10 month birthday, which is posted on my blog HERE.

Ooh--that sounds like a crappy 10 month birthday! Poor Laine! Hope she is feeling better. If it gives you any comfort, we have become experts on fevers at our house. Hadley's new record is 105 with an ear infection. She was so hot my hands started sweating just from touching her! It is so stressful when they are sick because you can only do so much, but you want them to be better right away.
