Well Jacob already has his two bottom teeth that managed to poke through at 11 months and 24 days; just in time for his 1st Birthday. Well today Jacob and I were rolling around on the floor and Mommy was blowing bubbles on his tummy and he was cracking up. I looked up at his little angel face and see some white poking through the top of his gums. The left tooth looks like it is coming through before the right. So poor bug on top of being sick he's also teething.
Oh yeah about the sickness. I took Jacob to Gymboree play gym last Friday and again for his make up class on the following Sunday. Sunday night Jacob had his first fever. It ranged from 99.3 to 101.1. I was a little nervous because we haven't had a fever scare yet. I gave him Tylenol every 4 hours and put him in warm baths throughout the day. Poor baby he was sooo irritable and not hungry except for Mommas milk. The fever lasted 3 days. On the third day I called Kaiser's Nurse Advice line and they stated not to bring him in unless his symptoms changed or worsened or fever reached 104! 104! yeah 104 (crazy)....Well as I said the fever finally broke but was IMMEDIATELY followed by a rash that covered his trunk area. I googled his symptoms and followed up with Kaiser's Nurse Advice line and it turns out he has/had Roseola. It's nicknamed "baby measles". The rash is not itchy but baby is irritable. Since he got it now, he won't likely get it late. His appetite is improving but he still has the rash and diarrhea. I called Gymboree and asked to speak to someone in Corporate. When children are enrolled in Gymboree the parents are given documents about Health Standards and they are NOT to bring their children in sick. Well Jacob could have only caught this at Gymboree because that's the only place he went and only caught it if the child was contagious with a fever or the rash. So poor baby has not left the house in a week, and neither has poor Mommy. He is super clingy and just wants to be held. Can you blame him? Mommy gave him sugar free popsicles to make him feel better.
