Woo Hoo!

For the first time in a month and a half, Parker slept through the night last night!  We were back to just waking up once between 3-4 am when she was hungry, but last night she slept from 8 pm - 6:15 am.  I am probably jinxing it by writing on blog, but fingers crossed that it becomes a habit.

Parker is really feeling better from the constant stuffy nose she has had all winter.  Her daycare said she was so happy yesterday, she didn't even fuss when she was ready for a bottle.  She's been blowing rasberries all over the place.  I think this contributed to the good sleeping.

Last Friday, I had to pick Parker up from daycare at 2:30 because she had a fever of 101.4.  I took her to the Dr. that afternoon, concerned about a possible ear infection.  Despite the three colds she has weathered in the last month and a half, her ears were perfect.  The Dr. was amazed and assured me that I made the right decision by bringing her in.  They also drew some blood just to make sure they weren't missing anything that could be causing the fever.  All was clear.  We had a rough 24 hours with that fever.  Parker was a trooper but it was obvious she was not feeling good at all.  She did not like the taste of the grape acetaminophen we gave her, so that did not make things any easier.  But by Sunday morning, she was feeling much better.
