Caylee-Grace first sickness - Events

Well I knew this day would come but I was hoping it would have been longer. Caylee-Grace has been running a low grade temp for a few days and I thought it was just her teething but she became fussy and today she threw up. She hasn't been sleeping all night for the last week. I bought some teething tablets and gave it to her Saturday night and she did a lot better. But Monday night she was really fussy and got up so Mother got up with her and took her in there with her for the night so that I could sleep. Her temp got up to 101 yesterday but left last night finally went away during the night after giving her Motrin. She didn't have any this morning but about 12 she started the temp again and threw up so I got an appointment and meet my mother over at the doctors at 4:15 today. She has a viral infection. Bless her little heart she has little sores in her throat. That is probably why she wasn't eating her baby food just drinking the milk. He said all we could do is treat the pain with children's benadryl mixed with Maalox and give her Motrin. He said the fever would last about 3 days. I'm so glad I took her. Hopefully she will be feeling better before we leave Sunday for Pigeon Forge.

On another note, work is going better since they have gotten a temp in to help me and train. I'm really looking forward to the 3 day week but I'm REALLY going to miss my co-workers I work with now. I love them and we are like a team (family). I couldn't have asked for two better bosses as well. They are awesome, wonderful and understanding and would help me out anyway. I hope they know how much I have enjoyed working with them and how I'm only doing this to be with my baby more. I wish I could stay in the same department and work part-time there but that isn't possible they really need 2 full-time people for my job since we have been so busy. Anyway, I love and have enjoyed working there - don't get me wrong, I don't like the work but I love my co-workers they have always been there for me and have been so good to me through everything I have been through with trying to get pregnant to dealing with hating to come to work because I miss my Caylee-Grace so much. I love working but to have the opportunity to be home more with my baby means alot more to me. I don't care what it takes to cut back where we can make it on me just working part-time it will be well worth it. I want to be able to study my bible more too. I use to get up and read while I was on the treadmill but that hasn't happened since I went back to work. I so need that spiritual time. I can't read when I come home because I'm so tired and stressed and need to spend time with Caylee-Grace before I get us ready for bed and the next day. I also need some exercise even if it is just 2 times a week. My emotions have been awful and I know that is because I don't get enough rest or exercise. I'm maintaining my weight. I have actually lost everything but 4 pounds so I'm very blessed about that. As long I can stay where I am now I'm fine with myself. To update you what has been going on with us lately beside this, we went to the McWane Center Saturday for my nephew's 6th b'day party. That was a lot of fun. Can't wait for Caylee-Grace to get a little older to enjoy it more. Randal is so funny he is such a kid at heart, he said he wanted to come back by his self all day to play. Here is a video of me trying to do one of the things at the McWane Center and one of Randal. Hope everyone is having a good week. I will try to post more during our vacation.
