No, no...I'm not pregnant (thank goodness!). Amelia is sick again. Well, she threw up once today and that was at day care, and when we got home, she was a bit lethargic and not really wanting to do anything. So, I took her temp, and yup. She had a fever. So, since it was pretty high, I gave her some good ol' Ibuprofen and she took an awesome nap...about an hour and a half or so. I slept a bit with her, mainly because I was faking being asleep in hopes she would go to sleep and I actually fell asleep. After I finally got up, she was out for another half hour or so, so that was good.
When she got up, she was pretty much in a good mood. I could tell when the Ibuprofen was wearing off...she turned into a bit of a monster. Sure enough, she was pretty hot, so I gave her a bit more Ibuprofen and all was well.
She ate pretty well too. She had a few pretzel sticks, some of the soup they sent home from day care (they get lunch there and they send home their leftover lunch when they don't eat), a single grape and 3 or 4 pretty large strawberries. Tonight, she didn't want the awesome salmon, rice or green beans that I made for dinner, she only wanted pink beans (think black beans, but pink). Yeah, I know. Beans on a possible bad stomach...good luck with that one. I just wanted something in her little tummy before she went to bed. Oh, and I nursed her a crap load this afternoon. I was only nursing 2 or 3 times a day, but I tend to break this when she is sick because I figure that breast milk has loads of antioxidants and loads of goodness, so it definitely can't hurt.
So, here's to crossing fingers and pressing thumbs that all goes well tonight...please lord let tonight go well...
