First Cold

Rate this Entry
Well, it had to happen sometime. Dakota caught her first cold. I knew since she turned a year old it was just a matter of time. And I do not keep her sequestered, although I am careful with her. She caught it from my husband, so not much I can do about that. I had a very scary night Sunday night where I knew she was running a pretty high fever, but I could not get an accurate reading on the thermometer in her underarm. Monday I bought one of those ones you swipe across the forehead, expensive but awesome!!! All day Monday, she seemed much better and had a temperature in the 99s. The last couple of days she seems to be handling it well. She has some congestion, but not bad so far. I am so scared of it going to her chest and turning into bronchitis. I just do not want to ever see my baby back in the hospital. I am watching her closely. My baby is such a tough girl! So adorable!!
She really has grown such a fun personality! She babbles at me and has a fun sense of humor ... doing things to amuse me! She loves to make us laugh. She also likes to cheer for herself and claps often. She adores animals and they make her laugh so hard her whole body shakes. When I pick her up in the night and look at her sleeping sweet face, I thank God for my baby.
Derek and I are going to Vegas on Saturday for 3 days. Our first time away from Dakota. I am really looking forward to Vegas (I LOVE IT!!!!!) and looking forward to time alone with Derek and looking forward to sleeping through the night!!!! I know the second I am on the plane though I am going to miss my little girl!
I love you Dakota!
