Poor Little Bugger

When I was putting Lucas to bed last night, he felt a little bit warm.  I checked his temperature and he had a slight fever.  :(  I gave him medicine and rocked him to sleep.  He woke up at about 12:30 am with a much higher fever.  He was whimpering and snuggling up to me.  I gave him another dose, unfortunately we were out of ibuprofen, so it was just acetaminophen, and after about two hours, he was ready to go back to bed.  He woke up again a little after 5 am and was up for another hour.  He slept one more hour and has been up since.  Lloyd ran to the store this morning to get more medicine before work and I'm hoping it will help more with the fever.  Even though he wouldn't go down for his morning nap, he's been in a pretty good mood.  He's had lunch now and I'm hoping he'll finally be ready for the rest he needs.  The upside to being up most of the night with a sick baby is all the extra snuggles and seeing the deer in the back yard early in the morning.  The downside, there's never anything good to watch in the middle of the night.  Between infomercials and ads for how to find top law firms in san diego, I think my IQ dropped a little.  As I said, though, the extra snuggle time makes it worth it!
