- Realize that baby is warm
- Take temperature
- Administer Tylenol, feel guilty for not noticing earlier that this might be why she was fussy, fret about whether to call doctor
- Nurse baby
- Rock baby to sleep
- Try to set sleeping baby down
- Immediately regret decision as baby fusses
- Return to rocker with baby
- Wish you'd left your book nearby
- Wish you had a glass of water
- Remained pinned to rocker with feverish baby
- Baby wakes up and cries
- Nurse baby
- Change baby's diaper
- Note that temperature is coming down
- Try to put baby down so you can put in a load of laundry/pick up toys/check e-mail
- Change your mind as baby screams
- Rock baby
- Nurse baby to sleep
- Baby wakes up and cries
- Realize that baby is warm again
- Return to step 2 and repeat cycle several times over next seven to eight hours
- Notice just before your spouse returns home and you will finally have back up that baby is feeling better and no one will believe how today went

Hey! been there done that! lol I am in a CM group with you and would love to add you to my blog, in the links section. I am just starting so nothing amazing just yet has popped out of my head. lol
Sounds like me! Only my baby isn't feverish, he's just young! :-)
Steph, I guess it is very much like when she was a younger baby and was in our arms all the time. It's funny how I'd already sort of forgotten. Now I'm used to playing games and going to the park and doing things around the house and then wondering where she's gotten to.
