Ben started getting really hot and bright red last night. Turns out he had a fever of 101. I kinda freaked out and called the ped immediately because I was convinced it was because he got an itchy nose from french fries earlier. Did I mention it was midnight? It was midnight. And I made the mistake of looking up “fever” and “flushed” in infants and reading all about fifths. *shakes head* Yeah, “Uh, we don’t worry until it’s over 105 rectally…” I already knew that but, still…

He has his first cold and I feel awful for him but he seems to be pretty happy other than that. Poor kid and his overreacting mama.
