Friday evening was Girls Night and we went to a Mexican restaurant. It was a very small group, with Kim, Margo and Melissa being the only ones who could make it this month. I took Mia and she was a little angel the entire dinner. It was nice hanging with the girls, although our conversations are now almost entirely focused on babies. Kim has a two year old and a five month old. Melissa is pregnant, and Margo is trying to get pregnant soon. Even as recently as two years ago, most of our conversations focused on "boys," and prior to that it was partying. In our mid-thirties we're finally maturing!
On Saturday Mia and I went to visit Granny and Grampy. They watched her while I went shopping. Mia hadn't seemed to feel well all day, and was sleeping much more than usual. I took her temperature that morning and it was 99. Before I left Mom's I took it again. The temp got to 99 and stopped. As I waited for the digital thermometer to beep, signaling that 99 was in fact her temp, it changed to 99.1. Very quickly it jumped to 99.2, 99.3, 99.4, 99.5...and then out came poop, all over the thermometer! So let that be a lesson to all my fellow mommies - poop can alter your babies rectal temperature. ;-)
Except for sleeping more than usual, Mia was acting normally, so I met Amy for dinner last night. Mia slept the entire time, and I started to worry about her. On my way home I called the triage line at the pediatrician's office. The nurse told me it sounded like she's fighting off an infection and to be on the look-out for a temp of 100.4, vomiting or diarrhea, decreased wet diapers and not being able to rouse her. Mike was at a cook-out and came home. We watched her carefully the entire night and I slept with her in our bed. She slept through until 7 this morning, got up and ate, then went back to bed until 10. She's been up more today than yesterday, but we decided to take it easy today to let her rest.
