First sickness!

I will finish the trip blogs tomorrow (I am still under the weather), but I needed to share.

Now here is a milestone that I do not want to hear, and it's that Oliver is sick! Gah! Hard to escape his mom being sick and the way he loves to shove his little fingers into your mouth like he's a dentist or something. I came home tonight from work and the little man was burning up - and so cranky!

I took his armpit temp and came back with a high 101.5 degrees. Yikes! I snapped a quick photo with my phone of him in the Bumbo while I was calling the on-call doctor:

The on-call doc calmed me down immediately, but my goodness - I can see why parents are so distressed when their children are sick! It's like, "WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE IT BETTER?! FROSTY? MONEY? WHAT IS IT?!" Even harder at this age is he can't tell me what he wants. For now, I am relying on my motherly instincts and giving him a big dose of love (and Tylenol).
