Having Amelia has been an amazing experience for Patrick and I and we are so incredibly blessed with so many aspects of Amelia's life, personality and activities. There have been so many great "firsts" - her smiles, her standing, kicking her legs, making noises and on and on. This past weekend we unfortunately got to experience some of the not so fun "firsts". Poor Amelia! She is on her 3rd cold in her short life and on Saturday she was exceptionally fussy. After she ate her afternoon bottle, she had difficulties getting to sleep for a nap. After waking up for the third time she was inconsolable. She does not cry like this. She would arch her little back and just cry so hard. Patrick was finally able to calm her down (bravo honey!) and get her to sleep. She woke up from her nap and continued to cry. We took her temp and Amelia had her first temperature and it was increasing pretty quickly - the highest she reached was 100.6 under the arm. We gave her infant Tylenol and I have to say - she was pretty cute as she ate it. New flavors! We finally got her down for the night and amazingly enough - she slept the whole night in her bassinet! We took her into Urgent Care this morning (another first) just to make sure she didn't have an ear infection - which she didn't, thank goodness. She was still running a low grade fever, but the doctor said it is just the cold running its course and if it continues longer than tomorrow to bring her back in. Unfortunately for Amelia, she also had another first - the rectal temperature. Bummer for her - she handled it like a champ! Amelia has been pretty fussy yet today, but hopefully the worst of it is over. Poor little thing!
Amelia weighed in at 12 lbs and 3 ounces.

Oh no! I'm so sorry. I saw that Patrick tried to call on Saturday night. I tried him back this afternoon. Sounds like you handled it well. It's so hard feeling helpless. Love you guys.
