We have at least two thermometers. Specifically for the baby. So that doesn't count the basal thermometer and the digital thermometer and whatever else we have lurking in the closet for our own use. So at 12:30am when I was trying to determine if Hannah's runny nose was accompanied by a fever, we should have been covered, right? The digital ear thermometer read 100.4. That's a fever. But is that really accurate for a five month old? So we did the auxiliary temperature to be sure-99.6 and then we add a degree, right? Still a fever.
Okay, so I didn't panic. We have Tylenol if needed. She's bound to live through several more low grade fevers in her life, but somehow that first fever feels a little bit like a test. Since we all lived through the night, and even slept a little bit, I'd say we pass. At least for now.

glad she's feeling better, I had no idea she hadn't been feeling well when we saw her smiling face Sunday! my kids always get a small temperature when they start teething, maybe it had something to do with it? the fun part of this whole temp. thing is that you are suposed to adjust the temp reading depending on the method you use to determine the accurate temperature! fun stuff, I know. hugs, Tracey
