Poor Baby!

Caleb has been sick with a low-grade fever the past few days. It started on the Fourth of July (so he had to watch his first fireworks on TV) and wavered between 99.5 and 101.5 for two days. On Tuesday I took him to the Dr., and right as we walked in the door he broke out in this brilliant rash:



The doctor checked his ears, throat, and lungs, and besides being a little stuffy, the only issue was the fever. The rash began to subside quickly, and it is pretty much gone. Since we were at the doctor we got the weight update, and Caleb is 12 pounds 15 ounces, or basically 13 pounds. He is still tracking right along that seventh percentile as he comes up on his 5 month birthday Saturday.

His fever broke yesterday and Caleb seems to be in good spirits, but his stuffiness has prevented him from sleeping well the past few nights or napping well during the day. Here's hoping tonight's sleep is a nice long one. Mommy could use it!
