Fevers are no fun...


We're taking a sick day over here.
Zac has his first ever fever and he is not liking it one bit!

He's fine though - the doctor in me knows that. 
He's breastfeeding normally, having his usual amount of wet diapers, and cranky-but-consolable. If I saw him at work I would send him home with only reassurance and follow-up.

But the mother in me, on the other hand, is a total wreck!
I brought him into my bed last night, curled my body around his, and nursed him to sleep... over and over again. His hot little hands clasping my fingers as he finally nodded off.
And then I watched him sleep instead of sleeping myself.

So we're taking a sick day today.
Wish us luck as we weather the storm.
