Poor Baby

I hate when kiddos are sick:(...

So, yesterday, we were getting ready to ring in the new year Burkhardt-Style (translation: eat a yummy dinner of steaks, guacamole, shrimp and a new addtion of mac and cheese; watch a fun movie together; and be in bed...Everyone!!...by 10:30 or so...wild, huh?)

Well, I kind of threw a wrench in the works by having a horrible headache in the morning and sleeping/watching tv on the bed or couch most of the day. Anyway, I felt better by around 5, when Lanie was waking up from her looonnnggg nap (that should have been a clue). Well, we decided to pstpone the yummy food, since we weren't that into it, and we just had chicken and potatoes before sitting to watch SpongeBob before bed.

That's when I noticed Lanie felt a bit warm. She wasn't acting sick or anything...just her usual spunky self:). After checking her temperature, however, I found she was running a bit of a fever. So, we gave her some Tylenol and she went to bed.

She woke up a couple of times in the night, but nothing major...thank goodness! However, she was a little furnace at around 4:30, so she got some more medicine. Well, today has been full of just hanging out, medicine every 4 hours or so, and a couple of "I sick!" moments with Kev and I scrambling for a towel to put under her...nothing yet.

Around 1, she went down for a nap, and just woke up about 20 minutes ago (2:20), still burning up, crying, and just plain pitiful (I'm sure you can imagine!) So, Lanie and I are now sitting on Mommy and Daddy's bed, eating fruit snacks, laying on a towel with pillows, and watching "Horton Hears a Who". Hears hoping that a low-grade fever is the worst of it:(!
