Fever = doctor visit

Gracie started having a fever this weekend. On Saturday night it was 100.5 (under arm), but we got it down to 99.5 within 30 minutes. At 4am Sunday morning it was 100.8, but we got it down to 99.5 a couple hours later. Back up to 100.1 around 2pm, and back down an hour later. She was pretty fussy all day Sunday, so I called her doctor's office first thing this morning. They wanted us to come in, and checked her over. They said she looks fine and is acting okay, eating, sleeping, and having normal diapers, so they just want us to watch the temperature. If it gets above 100.8 rectally and stays that way for over an hour and we're not able to bring it down, or if it gets above 101 at all, we're to take her to the ER. I'm a little worried, but the doctor said she can sometimes just get hot in her clothes, and we are able to bring it down, so that's good. They weighed and measured her and she's 10lbs, 6oz, and 21 1/2 inches long! What a big girl!
