Shots, Soreness, & Fever...OH MY

My poor babies had just awful reactions to their shots this time. They've been lathargic, and Mady had her first fever since coming home from the NICU. It's been a low grade temp reaching 101.2 & has been very hard to break. She also lost her appetite, and was only eating about 2-3 oz. @ a time. I've been giving both girls tylenol every 4 hours, and am thinking about running out to get some motrin, since the tylenol doesn't seem to be helping much. Katelyn had her first little fever too earlier today, but it broke after I gave her tylenol. They've also both been on the fussy side, and had a rough night last night. Madelyn's fever started in the evening last night, and I think that with her just not being able to get comfy was keeping her up. Both girls wanted to be held while sleeping, so Ian & I were happy to oblige. Though I must say it does wear on you after a while. They both seem to be a little bit happier right now, so hopefully the worst is over. These pictures were from last night right after they started not feeling well. This peaceful moment did not last long. Don't they look so sweet? Katy up top, Mady below.
