Sick Baby Update
So the final wet diaper count for yesterday was 4+, so I think that she was ok in that respect. By the afternoon Bubble Toes was feeling pretty punky. I put her down for bed, but she was very restless. We started a three hour rotation of advil and tylenol, but she still had 104+ temp around 10pm. We cooled her down in a cool bath and she was able to go back to sleep, but was restless the rest of the night, not sleeping very well at all. Luckily she was already scheduled for her 12 month (1 month late) well check today so this morning we brought her to the doctor. She was feeling better when we got there with no temp, but we still skipped the vaccinations for now. The doctor said that there is a 3 day virus going around that she might have, but she also wanted to check for a UTI, so right now Bubble Toes is napping with a plastic bag stuck to her to collect any pee, which will then have to be delivered back to the doc.
The upside is that everything else is going well. She is 21 lbs 4 oz (little less than 50th%, I think the lack of eating most of yesterday contributed to that) and 31 in. (90th%). They didn't tell us her head measurement, so I guess it was on track.
So here's hoping for pee at the end of her nap, so it doesn't "go bad"!
Thanks to everyone who commented on our last post. Your advice and encouraging words were very appreciated!
UPDATE: Successful pee collection, negative for UTI.

I'm so glad she is feeling better. I hope the pee doesn't 'go bad', too. I'd hate to have to try and follow her around with a bottle or something waiting on her to pee....LOL!!
I hope she continues to improve with each and every minute that passes.
I hope she returns to normal soon. At least it isn't a UTI.
And i hope mama gets some sleep too.
