ugh...I went to bed with a sore throat and cough...woke up with laryngitis (I usually get it at least once a year, but usually in Nov/Dec) and a cough...no sore throat at least, if I can stop talking it may stay that way.
Baby went to bed last with a temp of 99.4 (rectal)...not high enough to warrant a dr visit, and no other symptoms (still eating well and not lethargic/miserable at all). the only reason I even took her temp was the back of her neck was a little warm on my arm when I was feeding her...otherwise never would have known. This AM she woke up smiling and happy...but with a nose full of green snot (gross, sorry). After a nice warm compress to loosen that up, she was happy, got dressed and took a full bottle (6oz) and went back down for her AM nap. She isnt miserable and didnt feel warm so i didnt check her temp. I just hope she doesnt get anythng else...the boys are constantly kissing her face and hands and loving on her, and while they arent sick right now, they are school-aged children so you know they are a hotbed of germs and icky's...
