Feverish

Emma had a fever yesterday and last night...the thermometer said 101.0. She wasn't flushed or cranky...she just wasn't as smiley as she normally is. By morning the fever had broken and we went to work/daycare, but then it started to return in early afternoon and we ended up coming home early. They took her temp at daycare and said it was 100.3, however when I got home, our thermometer only read her temp at 99.0. She's slept more than usual, and her awake time hasn't been as cheerful, but she doesn't seem to be displaying other symptoms. No teeth seeming to be on the way either, although Em keeps sticking her tongue out, and therefore in the way, every time I try to look at her lower jaw!

I'm the one suffering from poor health right now. I've had a cold for a solid week now...started in my head and has moved down to also fill my chest. I'm sneezing, blowing, coughing...and nothing seems very productive. I'm actually starting to wonder if I'm not rolling right into something else. Poor Emma...I feel like she suffers the most, though. I can't hold her as long as I want to without fear of stuff running down my upper lip (I'm constantly having to reach for a tissue), I can't kiss her (which I suppose hurts me more than her), and when I try to read to her books, I can't make it through without having a coughing jag. I miss her! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for both of us.
