Gwen's first cold


Well, it had to happen at some point... Miss Gwen caught her first cold this weekend. She was up every hour Friday night, and then Saturday woke with a runny nose (but no fever). I thought maybe it was just her newest symptoms of teething, however with another sleepless night Saturday and a fever of 101.7 degrees, I decided it was more. Thank goodness she is a bit older now because the pediatrician did suggest some cold medicine which has helped. At least we got some sleep last night! She is a trooper though; still playing and smiling away! As well as, leaking from her nose and mouth like a faucet! I too have been battling the cold and fever since Sunday, but unlike Gwen, I don't get to stay home and nap (I wish I could though).
