5-11-11 - Sick baby to Doctor

Today has been a rough day.  I absolutely detest seeing Anna Claire sick, and the worrier side of me imagines all kinds of terrible diagnoses.  The first half of the day I thought she was just running a slight fever as a result of her teething - (I swear she has to be working on those top two teeth!).  But when she got up at 1:00 from her nap, she was really hot and her temp was 102.5 rectally.  Sooooo, I called the doctor and they of course wanted me to bring her in, which I did.  We saw Dr. Head, who we've never seen before but heard great things about.  He appeared to be thorough, although he seemed a little rushed, a quality which I never like in a doctor, even if they ARE rushed.  But, I digress.  He saw no reason to be concerned about her fever, but didn't think it was related to teething - said it was too high for that.  But she's miserable.  Whiny, clingy - exhausting her mother.  Doesn't really want to eat much.  The happiest she's been all day was while she was in the tub.  (Nothing keeps her from being happy in the tub! haha!)

Her weight today was 19 lbs, 2 oz. (65th percentile).
