Charlie's first real sickness.

Charlie is feeling a little better today.  He's fever is down from 103degrees to 101degrees.  At some point in the night it broke.  It's so hard to sleep with a sick baby in the other room:(  I do have to say, the cutest sick baby I have ever seen though!  I finally broke down and brought him to bed at 4am.  Before all of our traveling, I had him sleeping from 7:30pm-6:00am without waking.  Bummer, now I'm starting all over.  Oh well, seeing friends and family is TOTALLY worth it.  We also experienced his first "nursing strike."  I didn't know what a "nursing strike" was, but now I completely understand.  Every time he looked at me, he would cry and push away.  Finally, I coerced him back to his milk, which was way harder than I ever could have imagined.  Through this experience I have decided that Charlie is a pretty sensitive person.  We will see as he gets older.  Please pray that the fever will go away completely.  The doctor thinks he has a virus.  Thankfully no ear infection!  He got his second tooth yesterday, which she also said has nothing to do with a fever.  Oh the mysteries of the baby!!!  Thankfully, we are having a 70degree day, which always makes things better in the middle of the winter!
