Unfortunately, as we now know, Charlie was not quite herself at the party. The next day she woke up with a 101 degree fever. We aren’t sure if this came about as a result of her vaccines on Friday, or just the time of year/yuckiness going around…but she’s been pretty miserable for the past two days. Our plans to organize and clean today were put on hold as she awoke with a fever of 103. We made an impromptu trip to the Dr. and our plan is to just wait and watch. So far tonight, I’ve given my baby a lukewarm bath and we’ve woken her up twice to keep the meds round-the-clock. I’m sure she will be fine in the next 48 (or hopefully 24) hours…but it is so sad watching your little one struggle so much.
In the pictures below, Charlie is sporting her new kitty smocked dress, in honor of Lindsay’s love of her two kitty BROTHER’S, Sydney and Stanford. Her eyes look a bit glassy, and her behavior now makes a lot more sense. At any rate, we had a wonderful time at the party and the cake was delicious!!! Happy Birthday, Lindsay!!
In other news, we are SUPER excited for our little anniversary getaway this coming Saturday night. As of March 25th, Vann and I will have been married for 3 years! Unbelievable!! Luckily, Mr. Craig and Ms. Lauren had a great recommendation for us, The Herrington Inn, in Geneva, Illinois. It is only 45 minutes away and is supposed to be really lovely. Pray that Charlie will be feeling much better by this weekend. Mr. Ben and Ms. Kim are keeping Charlie for the night…it will be her very first sleepover!!! We are so anxious and excited to have a quiet night away. Check out The Herrington Inn at http://www.herringtoninn.com/.
