my poor bug

Sunday night Ella woke up quite a bit in the middle of the night.  I never actually had to get her out of bed but had to give her paci to her about 9 times which is something that I usually don’t have to do for her.  Yesterday she seemed a little off all day.  She took her afternoon nap and woke up feeling warm.  I sat her down to play and she cried and cried.  Ella is usually a baby you can sit down and she will play for quite awhile, so I knew with her crying at everything I did (playing, holding her etc) something was wrong.  I couldn’t find our thermometer so I didn’t know what exactly her temp was, but I knew she was warm. I called the doctor and took her right in.  We got in there and she had a fever of 102.2!  This was the first time she’s had a fever like this, poor thing.  They tested her for the flu and it was positive.  No wonder she wasn’t happy.  And on top of that they gave her a shot (antibiotic) and she screeeeeeeeeeeeeamed.  And screamed.  She was so miserable yesterday.  Here she is while we were at the doctor’s office after her shot.


She got home and slept for a couple of hours which she needed though.  She woke up and was still a little warm, but played for a bit and then was in bed around 8p.  And she slept until 8a!!  She must’ve been exhausted.  She woke up this morning though so much happier and has actually sat and played and smiled :)   I missed my smiley baby!!
