An Interesting Day

Today started off with a bang. Right at midnight, our sweet baby girl decided to wake up crying. And since she normally sleeps through the night (yay!), we knew something was up. Sure enough, she felt warm. We gave her some Tylenol, then brought her into bed with us for the rest of the night. Since then, she has spent most of the day sleeping, waking only for brief unhappy periods to eat and get doses of Tylenol. Her fever isn't too high-- right around 100-- but she is not a happy camper. Poor baby girl!!

The reason, though, that we're not too worried just yet is because Nikos seemed to have the same thing yesterday. A sudden, unexplained fever and general sleepiness. He even fell asleep in Gus' lap while sitting on the couch--something he NEVER does unless he's not feeling well. But, he woke up today and was 100% better. So we're thinking Maya will probably be feeling better tomorrow, too. We hope so, anyway!

On the flip side, we got to visit with Bryce and Aditi today! They're back in town for two weeks visiting family and friends, so that was really nice. They moved to Texas after their wedding last summer, so it had been quite a while since they had seen Nikos. And they'd never met Maya, obviously! Nikos was in fine form, talking and laughing and just generally being silly. They brought pizza, which meant that Nikos instantly loved them. After we ate lunch, we played outside while Maya napped in the swing (her M.O. for the day, unfortunately). It was really nice to catch up with them, and I would like to officially declare that they need to move back here once Bryce is done with grad school. Because that is how it should be!

Anyhow... It has been both a good and a bad day. I just hope our baby girl is feeling better, and soon!

And for the record, this was Nikos yesterday:

And here he is today, playing with Daddy's headphones after breakfast this morning:
