Last night, Ava came down with a fever. I could tell early on in the evening that she just wasn't herself. She wanted to lay in my arms and sleep. She never wants to do that. Normally, she fights sleep. Hard. After her bath, she screamed, cried, and fell asleep.
She woke up in the middle of the night very very warm. Now, which mother doesn't have any fever reducer medicine on hand?
This one!
A little panic set in as I know that if a fever gets to high, it can be detrimental to the health of the baby. My mom came into our bedroom with a old, German remedy of wrapping the calves with cold wash clothes and then wrap up in a bigger towel. Let me tell you, this worked like a charm. Soon after, Ava's body temp went down and she snuggled her face into my chest and just slept. Sigh of relief right here....
She woke up a little cranky but nothing that a nice warm bottle and a nap won't fix. Rest well, my Ava!
As for the holidays? Rafal will have this weekend off. I told him he doesn't have to do anything but relax with me and play with Ava. One weekend a year where he doesn't have anything to do. I think he deserves that much. Christmas day is per usual. Down at my Grandpa's for dinner and gifts.
What is Ava getting this year? Nothing.
Rafal is getting spoiled though. I'm sure he'll share is wrapping paper with his girl.
