We spent the EVENING in the dr's office last night....our apt was at 8:40 and we didn't leave the dr office until 11!!! She spiked a fever around 6:30....ALL OF A SUDDEN!! It was 101.5. We gave her Tylenol and put her to bed (until the dr apt). When we got to the dr office it was 103. They did blood work, urine test (HORRIBLE) and could only tell us that her white blood cell count was pretty high (17 if that means anything to you). His only thought was maybe a kidney infection (seriously, how do you get those?). They gave her TWO HORRIBLE, THICK SHOTS and it broke my heart....she was crying, I was crying and Josh was barely awake (having not slept in 40 hours by that point). They sent us home telling us to call if her fever got up to 105. We gave her more Motrin and put her to bed (in her pack-n-play right next to me because she will NOT sleep in our bed :(
Well today she is feeling better. SUPER tired, little to no fever and only a little whiny. We are waiting to hear the results from the dr....either today or tomorrow. I'll be home with her until we know what's going on.
Strange how quick babies can get SUPER sick! She had a great weekend....Friday we had a super fun time Trick or Treating at a friends house then a special sleepover at Gamma and Gampa's. Saturday was the Bridal photoshoot with Kati, Kimmi and I. Stephanie was ALL dressed up and I got some amazing pictures (posting them soon). Sunday we hung out, grocery shopped (one of her favorites) and then had a super fun Birthday dinner for Gamma. Ms. Claudette, Gampa Steve and Memaw came.....Stephanie was passed around and loved it! (but I still think her favorite is Uncle Mikie ;)
Moms Birthday: we had a super fun time at PF Changs (sorry, no pics). I have a few pics of Stephanie before we went out....she wore a new SUPER CUTE little outfit we picked up at Kid to Kid that afternoon. Kimmi and Michael, Kati, Steve, Claudette and Memaw all loved on Stephanie....she even let Memaw hold her (which she wouldn't two weeks ago). It was a HUGE table, TONS of food and lots of fun! We each ordered something different and just ate it all......yum! For moms birthday Kati, Kimmi, Stephanie and I made her a serving platter with our handprints saying "All your Little Girls". Great idea Kati!!! Stephanie tried fruit again.....peach, banana oatmeal. She LOVED it and DIDN'T GET A DIAPER RASH!! Yea! Maybe we can do fruit now :) She also had tofu.....and loved it! I bought some for home....great way to add more protein into her diet!
Well back to working on pictures for ya'll. Stephanie is enjoying a VERY long nap......hope her fever doesn't come back while she is sleeping. Thanks in advance for prayers that our Little doesn't have anything serious. Will update you all as soon as we know. Much love!

PS, keep an eye out for Stephanie's wishlist.....Josh and I are having a BLAST looking at toys for her :)
