Teeth Again!?

Well, on Wednesday night Donald got another tooth! Can babies have excess brain fluid from teething!? Apparently ours can. We don't know that for sure, but along with teething he's had a fever, 2 ear infections, a swollen soft spot, and now a bizarre rash. We took him in to the Dr. for his follow-up yesterday and he seemed to think everything was a-o.k. The only problem is that Donald refuses to take his antibiotic. You might ask who is the adult here and why can't I make him take it? Well, we tried forcing it down his throat, mixing it in his milk, and stirring it into his applesauce. Needless to say, he gets shots instead. Poor thing.
Donald is not quite back to his normal lovely self yet. I needed sleep last night because another side effect of teething is migraines for mom, so I asked Dan to wake up with Donald. Usually it's just a couple times but last night Donald really wanted some extra quality time with his Daddy so he was up at 10:50, 12:00, 12:45, 1:30, 2:00, 3:20, 4:50, 6:00, 7:00, and every half hour after that until I left the room with him at 9:00.
Now he's sleeping in dad's lap; preparing for his next big night!

That is so awesome that your hubby stayed up with him all night.
Well, we are in the middle of a LICE epidemic! My nieces get it like every other day from kids at school, luckily me and the kids got rid of it and haven't gotten it back for the past couple of weeks. I hope baby feels better!
