Rare occasion - baby and I are sick

Astrid hardly ever gets sick (and neither do I). So on the rare occasion when she does get a little cold, it's okay because it's good for her immune system. Since she's at home with the nanny and not around other kids, we think it's healthy for her to get exposed to some germs and viruses once in a while.

But today she has a high fever. The other time she had a high fever was when I was sick as well; and it's the same today. We're both sick. (Although I only have a low grade fever and sore throat, while the baby has a high fever.)

First I noticed that our nanny had a cough. Then Saturday night I got a sore throat and went to bed early. Astrid who normally wakes up before 7 AM, slept until 8 this morning.

Her fever got as high as 102.9. We've been giving her Tylenol to break the fever. When her fever gets too high and she feels hot to the touch, I run a luke warm bath for her, and put an ice pack wrapped in a towel to the back of her neck to bring her temperature down.
We left the house and went to a coffee shop to get some fresh air, and to a pharmacy to see if we could get something else to help with Astrid's fever. (Subsequently we found out that if you switch from Tylenol to Motrin for infants, it will help break the fever...which it did.)

Check out her new shoes. They're soft leather, but they look like sneakers.Not feeling well.Here she is flipping through one of her children's books. You could tell she wasn't feeling well by her energy level being so low (lethargic), and sitting in one place for longer periods of time. Just not her usual happy, energetic self.
